With all the arguing going on in Advocacy and Safety, a newcomer might ask, "What's all the disagreement about?" At first glance, one sees experienced cyclists arguing endlessly and reads on to see what the deal is...for a while.

Has anyone here changed their minds after being "corrected?" Have any newcomers been "enlightened?"

I see a lot more friendships developing around positive inspiration and simple shared experience outside the Advocacy and Safety forum. Inside, it's often a boiling cauldron of ill-feelings toward one another.

I'm not sure anything's being solved at all, no enlightenment, no inspiration.
