I am a nice guy. I always lets other ride my bikes if they ask. I just got tired of people ****ing up my bikes while they were in an altered state of consciousness. It's amusing that fixed gear bikes gave me an alpha wave state of altered consciousness that bikes with deraileurs didn't.
My guess is that you weren't in the most teriffic of moods when you read my post, and launched into ad hominim attacks as a way to compensate for the things that happened during your day. We all have done it, and I understand. I also know that most of us ride fixed as a way to reduce maintainence, broken spokes, chain gouges, or deraileus out of wack. I just explained it in a slightly different way.
I also used to teach in a school right across from the housing projects( granted, probably not as rough as NYC) that was filled with many underprivleged children, so I might be throwing a proverbial wrench in your cog ( or a frame pump in your spokes).
I wish you the best. I hope tomorrow will be better than today for you.
