I especially liked the last two statements:

Stopping can be as much fun as riding.

Lots of people worked their asses off to build whatever you’re riding
on. You should thank them.

And I would add, I am mostly likely to respond positively to posts
which are statements of personal experience and avoid categorical
attacks on someone else's experience.

I like the observation that no bike does anything until someone gets
on it to ride.

Virtually every one of them would be equally familiar from some forums
if they were all negative:

If you think your bike looks good, to bad, it's ugly.

If you like the way your bike rides, you're wrong, it sucks.

I don’t need to spend a million dollars to have a great bike, but if
you spend a million dollars and know what you want you’ll probably
figure out how to screw it up.

No way would I ever tour on your bike – whatever it is.

No way would I ever race on your bike – whatever it is.

No way would I ever commute on your bike – whatever it is.

26” wheels or 29” or 650b or 700c or 24” or 20” or whatever – yuck,
that wheel size is lame and you're wasting energy pushing that around.
