Dude! Are you really this daft?

The whole "everyone is doing it this way so it must be the best way" argument - when it comes to anything - is ridiculous.

I don't care about "how many bikes at the bike shop have bla bla bla". Most bikes at bike shops have derailleurs too and I honestly don't give half a rat's ass. As I said before, most people comb and cut their hair. Guess who doesn't care? According to television ratings, most people watch "The Real Housewives of (insert major city here) and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo too. Don't care.

FWIW, nobody in that thread is really saying anything bad about quill stems besides carleton, who is always grumpy when it comes to anything he wouldn't use anyway. You need to get over it, man. Some people like classic cars, vintage guitars and being vegan even though there may be more "practical" ways to go about things. It's ok.

Are you the type of clown who would go into a classic muscle car forum and spout off about how '57 Chevys are bad on gas and difficult to find a parking spot for in today's modern world? If somebody wants a quill stem, it's not your duty as an all-knowing bike god to tell them why threadless is "better". Besides, I'm sure we could all find **** about your bikes (or anything else in your life) that we think is stupid.
