They are insecure and afraid of including all into the membership of the bicycle riding community because they somehow feel threatened that having "Novices" or "Non-Performers" for lack of better word choices, will somehow ruin bicycling as they know it. You see these dumb ahzzz-es in their replies on various forums and threads. Instead of offering encouragement and positive advice, they essentially wish to run of the riff-raff that don't belong here anyway, as they feel in their own pea-brain, numbskull minds that they are the only folks that really matter.
You see it all the time, where they delight at bullying and negativity and ridicule towards those New to the community who may only be casual riders or folks that ride basic bicycles. You see these turds that reply to folks' subject topics on their fun, joy and challenging struggles in whatever type of riding that they do. You see these such turds that ridicule some of these folks for riding and owning a ( BSO ) , Bicycle-Shaped-Object, as in their warped minds, it does not qualify as a bicycle.
These young male idiots have a lot to learn about life. You just have to look at them in the proper context. They are insecure losers who are just being bullies because it gives them a feeling of superiority. Most of them will mature and grow-out of this stage. Until then, just remember that there likely will always be pricks such as these on cycling forums, and just don't give them the satisfaction of ruining your day, because they are just turds anyway so just Flush Em !!
