Yep.

No one ever said Professional Cycling is a sport for everyone. I always wanted to be a jockey, but you won't find many that are 6'2" and 190lbs. I had to accept the reality, that it was never gonna happen, and move on.
I wasn't telling you what to do. I was pointing out that one is able to explain one's position and why one disagrees with another person's point of view without calling that person a tool. Since I happen to agree with the other person, I guess you think I'm a tool also. And, as such, I'm probably wasting my time responding.

I don't think that guy was simply complaining about not being skinny enough to race. I think he was pointing out that eating disorders are a real problem among cyclists (even more so among jockeys, btw), and that Rapha should be careful not to encourage that.
