>From Grant’s blagh: “Nothing in here is controversial” Oxford Dictionary defines “Controversial” as: likely to give rise to public disagreement
Grant, there are at least three obvious controversial topics in your Blagh: 1) gays/LTBGQ/Gender/Marriage/Identity; 2) reproductive rights/abortion/contraception; 3) government social programs. How is it possible you do not know that a large portion of the general population publically disagrees with you on these? Grant, I love you bikes. Your gifted craftsmanship with steel, lugs, and geometry is poetry in motion is part of the grace that allows me to ride a bike despite constant neurological vertigo from a bludgeoned brain. You have gone above and beyond in helping me shift my Hunqapillar to my Hunqabeam. What wondrous gifts for which I am deeply grateful. I do not know what the answer is, but the tone of this group has had a dramatic increase in this type of “uncontrovercial” statements that presume everyone is on board, when in fact those statements are contrary to the teaching and faith of most world religions. I have largely let them slide by, but they are erroding the experience of the group for me, and I may not be alone. I plead with folks here to recalibrate your “controvercy” sensor and self-edit, so this group can return to focusing on bikes and riding, and camping, and bikepacking, and commuting, and the joy of sharing the journey, even if it is with someone so foolish and ignorat that he allows his faith to inform his beliefs.
