I can't remember who first stated it in this epic thread, but I'll agree that Grant's response was a little disingenuous-- Just Ride is definitely not a kumbaya, just-do-your-own-thing get along gang book. It says in many places that people who use clipless shoes, or wear lycra, or are more interested in riding fast than riding fun, are misguided and have been conned by the industry. It's a contrarian take on something that many people are passionate about and have their identities tied up in, so it shouldn't be surprising that some get their buttons pushed about this type of stuff. Regardless, you can't pretend that Grant isn't pushing the buttons of the roadie world, and I wish he'd just own it. I don't agree with all of (or these days, many of) the RBW ideals, but I feel much more interested in something that gleefully challenges the cycling status quo than something that backpedals whenever someone gets upset. You can't be Copernicus without getting the Pope angry at you, you know?
