No worse than what you were posting in your singlespeed/fixie thread in the road forum. Doesnt make what Chas posted acceptable, but it does take a bit of legitimacy out of your sails.
For what its worth, Chas didnt call older roadies stupid or immature. Chas said what the industry was selling consumers 15 years ago was stupid and said that people have realized this(gotten smarter). By saying mature people understand that a wider tire is more comfortable and still fast also isnt an insult to those who are older and dont ride a wider tire, unless you work to make it an insult.
You can choose to be insulted by twisting words and identifying with generalizations, or you can choose to take generalizations for what they are worth- observations by individuals that dont specifically apply to every person since they are, you know, generalizations.
Your choice.
