I regularly look at a blog from Australia about motorcycles which is strange because I have been on one about 3 times in my life. But I do ride a bicycle. I go to the site for the aesthetics of the bikes and the comments of the regular guys who post. Occasionally they really rip into a builder for something they did on the bike and these posts and their retorts can be pretty funny. Sometimes I feel like SRP might benefit from a little more of a bare knuckle approach rather than cravats and top hats. I don't encourage meanness, but a little more constructive criticism, gently pointing out the absurdity, or just a contrary opinion and offering a way to resolve the problem. But, I guess you can't go wrong with : if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all.

Seriously though I think the membership here is generally refined enough to know how to behave, and if not, one of this extended family's less kindly uncles could always give the upstart a virtual clip around the ear.
