This is a new phenomena to me. I'm on a Porsche 914 list, and at least one person reports posting their 914 for sale, and getting insulting responses.

One thing I have always noticed....( first noticed in CB radio chatter in the 70's ) -

Where there is 'anonymity .......... 'some people' will use that as an opportunity to be complete jerks. Such a silly waste of time. What you are seeing is "Outward expression of their own inner pain and anger."

< I'm a self-described Emotional Health Technician too - lol. - not that I particularly have very strong Social Intelligence ... heck, that's why I have to be an Emotional Health Technician, to try to make up for innate weakness in that area ! >
