If you disagree with him, say you disagree and state your C&V related opposing viewpoint. If you have a personal issue with him, this forum is not the place to take it up, in my opinion. He's not parroting the right groupthink and he annoys a lot of members. I don't think that authorizes you to speak for the whole group or tell him to hit the bricks.
Then have him message you privately. His posts suck. His "knowledge" is nothing more than re-constituted group think.. stiffer frames are always better, modern materials are better, simply because they are newer, leather saddles cause erectile dysfunction and on & on. He enjoys being antagonistic and is disrespectful of other members. He adds very little to the forum, except this type of, low value, discourse.
