It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I wear a poncho or a rain jacket/pants. I usually at least have a pair of cheap Frog Toggs in my bike bag: They're like $10 and work great.
Or I just get a little wet and dry off, in the summer it's not really a big deal.
Are those Frog Toggs breathable at all? I was thinking about getting some for my regular bike rides.
Yes, but in my experience, not quite as breathable as higher end breathable membranes (like nicer/newer Gore-tex or eVent). Definitely way better than my old tarp style poncho and a still better than mid range stuff like Marmot precip. If you don't mind spending the extra money, eVent is amazing but for the price, Frogg Toggs are still pretty great!
