That is easily your best, and truest, post here.

Until that post, you, at least to me, were a much less abrasive version of TFF. Unable to understand that their are different perspectives than yours when it comes to how people approach racing, and what people get out of the sport.

To TFF, anything different from how he saw things sent him into some sort of weird raging fugue state.
