This is what you call, the “goldfish bowl” fishkeeper that needs to learn more. I see things like this all the time. It disgusts me. It is ok to state your opinion, but I cannot believe that there are people that decide it is necessary to yell up in your face behind a screen and decline stuff without double checking it. Don’t listen to them, your better than that

But all kidding aside , what gets into somebody’s head to be a jerk like that ? Especially to someone you have never met and never will. Does a person get his jollies being a jerk with the anonymity of the internet to hide behind ? And if you respond and call him on his bull he’ll just get all the more belligerent. Stuff like that gets you knocked on your keister in person. I’d like to hear somebody say stuff like that in a biker bar.

I may be wrong but I think there are two basic reasons for the behavior.

1) They think it's funny; usually kids.

2) They have self confidence and inferiority issues. Trolling makes them feel important and powerful.

@jaylach You brought up something that never occurred to me and I think you just might be right. Kids being little weisenheimers. It’s the modern version of the prank call asking about Prince Albert in a can.
