I'd rather have people rag on my tone or style of what I way, and not the substance. YMMV. |

Maybe it's because others didn't have anything special to say about
the substance, but they recognize someone who's way out of line when they see it. Nice try.

My opinion is that colorful clothing looks good on snow and that the dominance of black in US XC clothing is lame. My opinion can't be wrong, it's just my opinion. You're free to give your own fashion opinion, but it's wrong of you to equate my fashion opinion with a stance on function. You don't understand the meaning of "perfect." I understand it and use it well enough in the context of ski reviews on Usenet. I reject insult. You're wrong a lot. Is that an insult? Is that a flame? Is it true? It might be all three. It's a flame because it's an unsupported negative statement. It's also OT. --JP |
