Hugh Joe didn't say there was anything wrong with Brian's post either. He just said that some WTB posts made him queasy. He said he worried that we as a group might damage Rivs bottom line if it happened way too much. I think this has been a perfectly fine exchange of ideas. I always imagine these threads happening at the pub over a few pints. I imagine every one of you typing with a smile on your face. I hope you imagine the same of me, because I always do have a smile on my face. This is an extremely fun group, even when we disagree. I don't think that's a storm of absurdity.
Personally, I had no problem with Brian wanting to innocently check the group for the bag he wanted before laying out huge dollars on a new one. I replied to his post about how psyched I was to install my bag, because I was overflowing with excitement for installing my bag. I hope Brian didn't think I was passively-aggressively and (dirtiest of all dirty words) "smugly" bullying him into paying full-price. I wasn't preaching, I was just giddy. I hope I didn't offend.
