The irony is thick with this one.
No I don't judge you, You will never see me, or hear me judge someone because of what they wear whilst cycling, or what they choose to ride. I judge the fact you continually denigrate others who ride, or wear something you do not like, or simply how they look. I tried for a very long time to give you the benefit of the doubt, and tried to like you and help you in threads where you asked questions that seemed legitimate. As of late, I find I cannot do that. You continually put down other riders because of the way they dress. You even began to bring race into things on another thread until I, and others called you out, then you backed off. Once you began criticizing bike riders because of they chosen dress, or their chosen type of bike or activity, and gave off the impression that you feel you are better than them, I lost all respect for you. You lack credibility.
One reason people answer the way they do, is because you post countless threads asking questions, many of which seem designed to simply troll, and others which seem legitimate, yet when you get actual answers, you dismiss the answers, because you know better. When you don't get the answers you think are correct, ones that do not match up with what you already have chosen, you go into fight mode and denigrate those actually trying to help you. Maybe you do know better. If so, stop posting so many questions, and read other people's questions and offer suggestions or advice.
If you actually do ride, and I don't doubt you do, perhaps you could see it in yourself and apologize for all the judging you have done towards so many who possibly dress, or look like those you criticize, or choose to engage in a style of bike riding you feel is beneath you. You have criticized bike touring, gravel riding, etc. You have done a great job of denigrating probably over half of the riders on Bike Forums. Why don't you start over. I say all this with honest respect.
