Managing the community aspect of a website like Asphalt & Rubber is no easy feat, especially considering the online personalities some people take on while behind the keyboard.
The history of the internet troll is as rich and long as the internet itself, as anonymity (or at least the appearance thereof) allows a cultivation of personality traits that would otherwise not manifest themselves in public.
In essence, what I’m trying to say is that people online can be dicks.
We are fairly lenient in the comments section, but that doesn’t mean that our ban hammer is sitting in the corner collecting dust – every once and a while, we have to banish a user from the pages of A&R. But once gone, where do they go? Alas, we finally have the answer.
Say hello to MotoMutters, – the lonesome Disqus channel for the motorcycle industry’s petulant children.
Be careful before you tap that link though, what awaits you can only be best described as the shotgun marriage of a rowdy AA meeting and a junior high school’s online reenactment of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.
As such, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You have been warned, and hopefully we won’t see you there.
