So yesterday, I was on another forum, I joined it very recently and to tell you why would give the game away, but one of topics referred to something I happen to be an expert in (don't worry, it wasn't anything related to the 3-pointed star, as my usually ill E Class attests to.)
The thread starter dissed my industry to a man, and then went on to say they were about to undertake their own project.
At this point I respectfully suggested that not all professionals in my line of work were unscrupulous, and that some of the steps the starter was going to take sounded risky, and to feel free to contact me if things started going wrong. The only thing I said that may be construed as a bit... flippant is too strong a word... was that B&Q sell bricks, bathrooms, paint and concrete, but I wouldn't see that as an opportunity to build my own house, and perhaps this is worth considering when thinking of starting the job... But trust me, I was very polite and never said at any point the thread starter was stupid, incompetent or anything negative.
Well.
I have never come across such a torrent of abuse from the starter, multiplied by 100% of the additional contributors, to the point that the only way I could describe it is as if someone was getting beat up outside a nightclub, and instead of calling the cops, everyone on the street joined in beating up the victim. Finally after dragging my company through the mud, (which I avoided even mentioning I worked for, so thanks google for allowing such freedom of information) and writing such petulant and personal evilness, the moderator stopped additions to the thread.
Guess what type of forum it was..., I'll post the reply if no-ones guessed in a few guesses.
