I agree. But it's called "a craze".

Mountain bikers can't defend their selfish, destructive sport, so they resort to
personal attacks.

Reviewing the evidence as supplied (including by you), this appears to
apply even more in the case of hikers - the only "out" hiker active in
this group is you, and you post a lot of ad-hominem attacks (such as
pretending that messages to you contain death threats when they
demonstrably do not, asserting that certain behaviours are typical of
mountain bikers without supplying credible evidence and so on). You
have consistently refused to defend your own selfish and destructive
sport; when challenged to do so, you smokescreen.

So please cite from verifiable external sources the independent
evidence that mountain bikers are any more likely to respond to
sustained trolling with personal attack than any other group. We will
leave aside for the moment your rather idiosyncratic definition of
what constitutes a personal attack.

I'm not trying to defend anything to you , you're not worth the effort.
However, I think it's ironic that you would accuse someone else of resorting
to personal attacks. Geez, I will give you credit though, you are a first
class idiot.
