Not nearly inflammatory enough to piss off either camp I fear.

Just to add some clarification to this whole thing, the stem on my heavy steel touring bike cracked yesterday as I was tightening the steerer tube bolts (hadn't nearly reached the recommended torque, materials failure). Whether the frame/bar/stem/seatpost is carbon or not doesn't change the torque principles or ratings.
