Vent: That guy at the farmers market who told me I was ruining my sourdough by not using his special flour
He cornered me for ten minutes at a stall in Portland last June, pointing at my bag and saying my starter would die because I used store brand. Has anyone else had some random stranger tell you you're baking wrong when your stuff turns out fine?

Oh man, I actually kind of disagree with you here. While that guy was obviously pushy about it, high quality flour can actually make a noticeable difference in how your starter behaves and the final crumb texture. If your bread turns out great with what you're using now, that's what matters most, but flour snobs sometimes have a point buried under their attitude.
