What I am trying to say is that the reaction doesn’t match the offense. A person who completely flies off the handle and clearly suffers mental anguish over such a small, pointless, and unnecessary comment doesn’t seem like someone who should share their work with semi-anonymous strangers.
Criticism is important. This form hasn’t been the same since moderators chose to remove valid, but somewhat mean-spirited comments that I and some others made about an infeasible design, after which Walt of Waltworks chose to leave. I think creeping toxic positivity is making discussing bikes online pretty boring and I am about done myself.
In short, they have both behaved badly. I have too in my life, and probably will again shortly.
