It's about the mudslinging... Bullying anyone gang style
leo,
I think the previous comments by TomK, Chunkster, knieft cover the situation pretty well. I would only add that the threats and support for violence come almost entirely from gypsy. I would also question your use of the term 'bullying' and 'gang up.' There is no club or group, or plan, it's individuals replying with their own opinions.
Finally, read a few of gypsy's comments on homelessness, or his recent post by the DLNR officer speaking about the ohia trees. Do you see any bullying? Any gang tactics? Or do you see people thanking him for his posts? The positive responses might suggest that it's not a gypsypost™ that invites the conduct you're questioning, it's the content of the post. Of course we are all entitled to our opinion on Punaweb, but when he dresses up his comments as pretend opinions, those are the times he especially invites responses. gypsy's main mo on this site is the phony jmo.
For example, he often says the TMT will pollute the Mauna Kea watershed (jmo). That's not an opinion, it's a false statement. If you consider the responses to then be mudslinging, the next question would be, why does he repeat the same comment and type of comments ad nauseam? Is it because he enjoys being treated like an imbecile? Or do you think every remark he makes is his true and honest conviction? Perhaps he doesn't understand the replies which provide him with real and factual information? Or does he relish the response and attention, and so continues to encourage it?
Personally, I think as knieft pointed out, it's probably the later. But, that's jmo.
