It looks like someone let their 12 year old post here.

I wonder how much time the idiot posting one star reviews spent trying to show us just how clever he is. I say "he" because this kind of prank shows a level of male angst you'd find in a prepubescent twit.

That's odd. Hadn't noticed until you called it out.

Learn To Ignore Them……..

Once you learned to ignore them, life would be more enjoyable and peaceful. Don’t let this minor thing gets into your skin. Most people in this community are nice and good except for a few rotten ones. I had the same reaction before and now it does not bother me a bit.

I appreciate the advice but calling out buffoonery isn't a stressor. I get a kick out of pointing out the idiot in the crowd.
It's a character defect for sure but perfection has never been my goal.

It's frustrating because those kinds of non-reviews undermine the whole system for people genuinely looking for advice or help. You just have to hope people scroll past the noise and look at the actual thoughtful comments.

Glad you called it out. Annoying stuff.

I don't know Matt. Looking at you're stable of cars, we may be more different than you think.

Sounds like you let your 12 year old come up with those burns.
