Maybe you need to consider if you want to stay part of that online group... Im sure there are plenty of others you can join.

Yes its terrible that people felt the need to become angry at you because you voiced your concerns.. Some times there are just sucky humans roaming the earth.

You just have to decide which battle you want to spend your energy on.. In the grand scheme things right now with a world wide crisis Does it really matter that some fools online yelled at you online???
Oh gosh no, none of them are friends at all. We just share a bike interest, that's all.

I have opted out of that group, thank you for the suggestion. The main one I care about is about bike repair and those folks have always been friendly.

I do have to say, part of this may well be me. Maybe all of it is. I don't know. My PTSD emerges when I feel threatened, no doubt about it. And I wonder if sometimes I overreact, that my feelings are hurt too easily and that I am out of touch with reality. I probably do and I probably need to try to work on this, somehow. Not sure what to do there, but I will look at it.


That said, calling someone an a-hole repeatedly in a few posts is something even I can accurately interpret...
