Interesting that you say that. Tell me what you mean. I have to feel that there is a sensitivity in this forum to a certain style of language that goes unnoticed elsewhere like in normal conversation, emailing, and even other subject (non-cycling) forums. What exactly is that? What are the peculiar triggers that set folks off on a tirade of accusations (e.g. trolling), inuendo, sarcasm, yuk-yukking at an inside joke, etc. instead of eliciting simple and factual replies? It certainly seems to be ingrained in the culture of the forum. How did that happen? I am not suggesting the original post was perfection incarnate, but rather that it was not intended to offend. So why did it?
