If this bothers you it's something to discuss with your therapist, not a topic you need to obsess over to police random internet commenters.
Nope don't need a therapist, sorry. Maybe people need help distinguishing between a linear pull brake and a Shimano V-Brake, I can figure it out it is easy takes no time and no real effort on my part. It is kind of sad others can't.
