The difference between us and him is that we don't try to belittle people who eat FSOs or ride BSOs. We merely think some places like Olive Garden suck. Nowhere did we disparage anyone for eating as such places. He, on the other hand, takes shots at people who consume "gourmet" (i.e., not inexpensive, as far as I can tell) food and drink. (I actually am not a beer drinker, so his attempt to paint me as a snob in that respect is yet another failure. But I do understand why some people prefer craft beer over PBR.") And don't get me started on his bike view. If you're not riding a 70s Schwinn you trash picked or picked up for next to nothing at a yard sale you are an elitist snob who thinks people who are riding such bikes are not "serious cyclists." Yes. I have a really nice, one-of-a-kind custom ti bike. But I don't categorize people based on what they ride. The irony of his "reverse snobbery" is thick.
