In an open forum they also have the pleasure of exciting those who share their condition, leading the others into their inner sanctum, and their ultimate goal of inciting a lynching. The result leaves them feeling empowered, with kindred spirits left in awe of their intellect.
You may call it bullying, as being the nature of the act. I'd say "trolling" sums it up nicely.

I'll admit I don't suffer fools, which may well have been why I airily dismissed a certain person as a dreamer many years ago. He still hasn't got over it obviously.

I can't imagine why it was considered OK to have a go on a public forum, considering the initial purpose of the post was to share someone's pleasure in their car with fellow members of what is supposed to be a car enthusiast's venue.

If anyone on here would like to have a pop about any transaction made with them personally, I'd say a PM is a good place to start if you have a genuine grievance. Other than that it's the usual dross, hearsay, and trolls back slapping each other.
