Agreed.

This forum is one of the slowest, most boring track forums on the internet (past or present)...with the highest signal/noise ratio.

Maybe something happened with SF as I took several days/weeks away from keeping up with things here? Did the posts get deleted? Last thing I saw was the 'big gear for all riders in all kerins conversations'.

Personally, I like to deal with disagreements at a "unit level" and not with "the whole", as in I will disagree with a particular point that is being made, but that doesn't mean that I disagree with that person as a whole.

I think I make my points very clear in the threads.

I also feel like I'm open to change and open to being refuted. I actually welcome being proven wrong as it is an opportunity for me to ditch old/bad info and adopt new info. I gain nothing when my ideas are confirmed. I gain a LOT when they are disproven!

If I've been out of line in particular, please let me know where and when.

EDIT:

I learned of the concept of approaching debates as "Which idea is right?" not "Which person is right?". That switch alone defuses a lot.
