How Long Before This Happens Here?

A disconcerting thread on FerrariChat.com right now. One of the F-Chatters had his $150,000 550 Maranello at the Concorso Italiano yesterday and it was keyed - right at the show! The owner is positive it was another F-Chatter he has argued with repeatedly in their "Politics & Religion" forum - the subjects and 'discussions' there are pretty much identical to the Off-Topic section here ....... the cast of characters are all the same, only the names are different.

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71441

Unbelievable. Some people take this stuff waaaay too seriously.

I don't want to even think it's a possibility happening to anyone.

Well I'm just glad that I've never pissed-off any up-tight petty posters on this board. It really pays to have such bland, non-provoking posts like mine.

Seriously, a key-scratch (or whatever) is the mark of a defeted weasel. They can't win the argument so they look for something that they can "win" at. --Happens all the time, in different forms.

Thats right! , a good weasel is a defeted weasel. (have your weasel defeted)

Once defeted they stay away from outdoor entertainment such as car shows.

fete also fête (f³t, fµt) n. 1. A festival or feast. 2.a. An elaborate, often outdoor entertainment. b. An elaborate party. --tr.v. fet·ed also fêt·ed, fet·ing fêt·ing, fetes fêtes. 1. To celebrate or honor with a festival, a feast, or an elaborate entertainment. 2. To pay honor to. [French fête, from Old French feste. See FEAST.]


. . and for Godsake DONT give them keys.

I've been a lurker on FChat for a couple of years and I'd say that incident is an abberation. And so I don't think it is particularly likely to happen here or, for that matter, happen again over there. The laws of probability suggest that over time any group of people, no matter how well-behaved and mature, will eventually attract an assclown or two. But I'd say it is much less likely to happen here or FChat than almost anywhere else.
