Erm, he's on your forum, I'm sure you can just click the "Change Personal Information" tab on his profile, view his email address and google it to find out who he is (if it's not revealing enough alone).
Frankly I'm bored with the elitism. It happens in all scenes, whether we're talking music scenes, film buffs, sports, there's always going to be someone thinking that they're above someone else and wanting to display that by using what means they have to exclude others. This isn't entirely a bad thing in the case of alley cats, if the view was from a safety perspective or something, but to exclude on the basis of past or current profession alone is pretty dumb. And there we have it, one guy organises a race, makes himself appear to be dumb in the process... and life goes on and we all ride bikes. Who cares? Besides, I'm sure any fakengers who really wanted to ride could just say they worked for a few days at such and such a place several years ago, and just blag through the bullshit.
