Ha! Right....consumer slave...not so skipper. Not fashion slave either. We live free in this household. We also live with the fact that at times there is no choice but to buy things made by corperations.
PFR little buddy.....

Puma 201 is NOT good information.
It's riddled with errors.

What the heck does corporate clothing have to do with this. I got craploads of Puma gear (shoes, bags, shirts). I just think that guide is stupid.

The speed and voracity with which people try to exclude others from a community or - more accurately - question their "authenticity" is a strong indication to me of those people's own insecurity about their position within said community.

We came for the advice, but we stayed for the arguments

Mcatano,
No one is questioning anyone's "authenticity." The quote from Shiznaz to which you referred certainly doesn't.
We're just questioning the validity and authenticity of Puma 201, which since you haven't seen you can't really attest to.
I've seen and read it. It's garbage. And SHOULD NOT be used as a tutorial.

these aren't even arguments, they're people with a dire need to be right wasting their time endlessly trying to prove that their opinion is the 'truth'.
if people want to hate, let them hate. if people want to help, let them help. nearly every single thread that hit's 2 pages does so by either jocking one member or another, or arguing semantics.

i'm neither hating nor helping, i'm just pointing out the obvious. look at nearly every thread on this board that goes over 2 pages. the majority of the time it does so because of some ridiculous argument based around someone making a sarcastic comment, then someone else feeling the need to chastise that person. time and time and time again it happens.
i don't mind bickering and i don't mind bull****, i just wish people would make it more entertaining.

Well, if we're going to start we are taking people's words out of context and inserting our own meanings...

2) Then why not just say that in the first place? (You don't really have to answer this question).
Also, Rustang - I like arguing. It makes me feel better about myself, because I am a small, petty person filled with self-righteousness and an overblown sense of self-importance, especially when it comes to the veracity of my beliefs.

For the record my first comment in this thread was:
I don't think it's bad because it's corporate. I think it's bad because it's bad.
Puma 201 is NOT good information.
It's riddled with errors.
So, at least for me, I haven't attacked anyone.

I was just responding to the OP telling me to 'grow up', and shattering my long held belief that I was born a master of fixed gear.
So I suggested an actually useful book to read (that I own)
BUT now that you mention it I was questioning his authenticity as a fixed gear rider. He may just be an SS rider that never stops pedaling!
