Well, he's come along, cut and pasted his blog entries in to start topics rather than bringing anything original, and all his opening posts have been just a little bit confrontational, in a kind of "This is what I think, and you all disagree but I don't care" way - despite the fact that actually, we don't - there are plenty of Pashley fans, and people to whom the weight of a bike means nothing, but according to him he's fighting a lone battle against our sort, whatever that is.
But it's original if it's in his blog, isn't it?
Besides, there's plenty of CCers who post text lifted from the Mail, Guardian or BBC who aren't subjected to the sort of ire which GC has faced.
As for the weight thing and the thoughts of the CC community, as I have already said, that was a throw-away line and irrelevant to the point he was making. It's a shame that almost everyone ignored the crux of his hypothesis and went off on one about it, IMO.
I see it as a bit of flock mentality, one person picks up an irrelvancy and everyone else follows along, bleating the same noises.
Much the same has happened on this thread, though. When asked how we debate could be improved, the majority opinion is that can be achieved by telling the OP to **** off. Hardly an insightful way to improve the CC landscape.
