No problem. Given some of the responses I could certainly have done a better job expressing my point.
I am definitely not attacking Deniz personally.
If we want to see the behaviour he describes change we as the MTB community have to communicate and behave differently. People aren't behaving in ways we don't like due to randomness or they are bad people. They are responding to what the overall community says and does. MTBing has a set of evolving cultural values and these values drive how people behave. Change the values and you'll change the behaviour.
