I don't see how that implicates ANYONE else's needs let alone dismisses them. He thinks it's a good idea that other people might want to try. You and I can choose to do so or not, what's disrespectful about that? Actually, I think he's got a solution that probably apples to people whose needs are more substantial than mine because I'm not willing to accept the bagginess inherent in a Hawaiian shirt. It certainly isn't as dismissive as applying pejorative words like "ignorant" and "stubborn" to people. Doesn't one cell in your head say "wait a minute, I just likened 'I wear a Hawaiian shirt because it cools me off' to 'those people are ignorant or stubborn'?"

I give up. I respect and enjoy your posts on most subjects, but there's something about the topic of using or not using cycling gear that makes you unreasonably combative. I can't help it, I think you picked a fight with the guy over precisely nothing.
