You know how it is when you go to the pub or a party and you get lumbered with some boring obnoxious fart (BOF) to talk to.
Under those circumstances its easy to make excuses and leave.
On here its different. So what happens?
Firstly other posters try to engage the BOF in conversation hoping for a reasoned rational response.
Failing this, other posters then trade banter with the BOF hoping they are intelligent enough to sense they are not flavour of the month.
When the BOF is too thick to see he is obviously getting up peoples noses the last resort seems to be the insult.
Its mostly not malicious but going back to the pub analogy, it is hoped the BOF will walk away, have a think why he has become 'Billy No Mates' and come back with a better more friendly attitude. Its happened to a number of posters in the past and for many its part of the growing up process.
