I've been trying deep breathing for about 5 minutes now.....it hasn't worked. I'm in full aggresion mode right now - I hope and pray no-one does anything that incurs my ire in the next half-hour. This has really wound me up.
To the gentleman at Velorution, you probably wouldn't have wanted money from my black hands anyway, but I have been espousing the virtues of beautiful and classical cycle designs, and have contemplated buying a Pedersen from your shop. When I have saved the hard-earned money, I shall surely not be spending it in your establishment. Whether or not you support the sentiment behind the quite vile and racist comment on the Velorution site, make little difference. If you are decent, you would not allow such a comment to be posted on your website. Private thoughts, are very different from published views. Inclusiveness cannot be forced, but it is a sign of maturity and generosity. The Britain I live in, has been more inclusive and generous over time than most others. I wish you the grace to learn that there is positive, in what you see as negative.
