The part that amuses me is that the moderators continually seem to be surprised when members of this subforum behave spitefully. It's been pointed out again and again that this is the most hostile cycling-related part of BF, yet the response this fall was to add a disclaimer justifying the viciousness instead of, well, doing anything to change the atmosphere. The thread this morning shouldn't have come as any surprise; this is what the (lack of) moderation here cultivates.

Yes, most of the folks here are nice. But there's definitely a piling on subculture here that we'd do well to change.
