It's not a controversy until/unless people make it one, and people are, of course, free to disagree as to whether Mr. Bloom is a source of controversy, but it's rather silly to disagree with my statement that I don't see him as one! What, you think I DO see him as one?! But I don't!

I recall the thread in which Mr. Bloom announced the divorce, but do not remember it being nasty. Might someone point me to that thread, please?

For the record, I have not interacted with either Mr. Bloom nor Silver (except perhaps in passing) though always appreciated both their posts. I hope they can both participate here and that both refrain from mentioning the other. Though many of us vent here about spouses/SOs/exes/kids/etc., the venting is basically anonymous, those spouses/SOs/exes/kids/etc. aren't here and aren't known to us, and that's NOT the situation with Silver and Mr. Bloom.

Clearly if someone doesn't like one or the other, one can ignore that person. I think they both have great things to say about biking, and I plan to enjoy both their posts on the subject that brought us all together on this board.

And that is all I will say on this.
