Is anyone else getting more burner/grey comments lately?

I’m not sure why, but my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! sure brought the burner/grey comments out in full force. Has anyone else noticed an uptick in burner/grey commenters? Or did I just really hit a nerve?

DISCUSSION (20)

Maybe it’s just that the burner community really, really hates minivans? :)

The burner community really hates anything you’re talking about. That’s why they can’t be bothered to get a real account, lest they be found out and/or banned for being dicks. And by “banned,” I mean “forced to go back to the Bimmer forums” apparently...

Yeah, you nailed it. God forbid that they’d have to engage in back and forth dialogue - hit and run, they’re right, you’re wrong.

Yes, it’s very weird. Especially since they aren’t necessarily trolling.

I’ve noticed it and many I’ve had look like trolls. When somebody has zero or low following or followers and are posting hater comments I’m ignoring them.

I don’t comment often enough on the fp to notice. When I do I’ll get a few stars or nothing.

I mean grey/burner commenters on Oppo posts.

Yeah that’s the thing. They’re not full-on trolls but for the most part they are at least disagreeable.

I don’t think I post often enough for most people to bother. That and it’s usually a picture or two

Grey on Oppo? Weird..... it’s got 0 visibility from anywhere else.

I haven’t noticed. What I do notice is the most of them often don’t try to debate anything but rather just attack.

Did it get to the FP?

I hope you didn’t perceive my comment as disrespectful. Just giving my experience with minivans. For the record, our #1 choice for our next vehicle is a sedan. A large, comfy sedan that can soak up road trip miles.

And I think any post where you say a group of people are wrong about their car choice is going to get some pushback.

In the meantime, I’m off to figure out how to turn my burner account into a...non-burner account(?).

No, you were not one of the comments that I was thinking of.

I don’t see it anywhere on the FP. Maybe we have more lurkers than we realize and I just managed to inspire them to pipe up?

Probably do... Oppo seems to have pretty good Google visibility

You are a grey but also weren’t being negative.

I don’t think it’s lurkers, it’s more that your post found its way to a forum of zealots and they decided “go get him!”
