Yes, the tendency toward dual thinking --must be either this or that--that pervades most of modern thought, is particularly on display in certain areas. In cycling, it generally involves chain lube and helmet wearing. I believe iBob no longer allows these types of discussions. The main problem is that with this kind of issue, most people do not enter into the discussion with the idea that they might, just might, be persuaded to change their minds. With minds sewn shut like that, it sets the pattern for a thread to unravel into incivility at some point. (Sorry.)
