Are you trying to explain why I shouldn't like someone?
Dutret is more than just the simple stereotype you're trying to cast him in. For example, he was one to give valuable advice to people who are genuinely interested in riding their bikes. Also, dutret will side with the small guy every time. And he is also unconventional (a free thinkier, if you want); like the one time when half SSFG stood in line to fellate the LBSes, he very systematically de constructed the whole mystique of buying stuff at the LBS.
