It's not negativity when people react poorly to someone buying unbranded safety equipment of unknown provenance because it's cheap. They are really looking out for you.

I assumed this https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/got-this-today-and-the-qualities-pretty-good.191492. Had it open in another tab when I read this.

I'm glad someone has had the courage to speak out.
I've had my dinner money robbed by big boys on here 3 times this week.

in that case i agree, other members are merely pointing out the safety aspect , that doesnt make them negative, in fact quite the opposite

@blackgoff - I just had a quick scan of your recent postings. Can I suggest you stay away from SC&P? I never go there myself, but as far as I can tell, it's a pretty nasty place. Unfortunate that you posted something that elicited what felt like negativity after spending time there.

I have found CC to be a very upbeat, positive forum that offers a ton of advice. I'm pretty sure that I'm not in the 'clique', as you put it, but I have been on here a while.

I see very little unpleasantness on here, compared to other internet sites I visit. And even then it tends to be people getting into boring arguments about the efficacy of expensive wheels, rather than full-on Godwin's law 'meet me in a car park for a fight' stuff.

It's a bit more complicated than that...
It might well have been this: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/now-the-the.191422/, and I plead guilty to being negative - but for a reason which I think is still a good one. Contrary to your observation, SC&P is a generous place populated by a bunch of mainly good-humoured regulars. If it was the cheap helmet thread @blackgoff might have mistaken negativity about the concept of helmets in general for negativity about her/his post.
