It's wasn't open minded or respectful to people who like doing it.
The thread started off on the wrong foot.
Well, I'd be a bit more charitable than THAT. More like "I don't understand what all the excitement is about. Can you tell me what that's about?", which is a reasonable question. And lots of people had reasonable answers, though if we'd led with Indyfabz pictures from yesterday, a lot of us non-gravel riders would say, "Oh, right. Got it."
The rest of it? The wrath and acrimony? Welcome to the internet.
