To be honest, although over the top and extreme, he's kind of balancing the general hubbub of the forum.
He's not reacting to every 'Wossi' post but he's picking up on several posters who can't help but post digs at GoatBoy, whether he's actually being discussed or not - At least that's how I've been reading it, I might well be mistaken.
For a few, the dislike/hatred/bitterness pretty much spills into every paragraph they write, and for someone who doesn't care enough either way, it can be a real chore to read through some of the threads here (which I still do as there are some genuine insights to be gleaned and good discussions to be had).
I get the feeling that it would be better for some people to just start a telegram group and only have folk who have similar views in it - As it stands, this is still a public MotoGP forum so occasionally people will get fed up of the status quo (which for a good while has been pretty anti Granddad Yamaha).
Just my ramblings anyway...

Actually - there's never been a "status quo" on PS. There's always been a healthy debate with lots of opining from both sides. There used to be a ....-load of pro Rossi people here, who (although of course naturally wrong about everything Rossi ) were well informed and made reasonable debate points and were (and continue to be) good friends. Unfortunately people get burnt out with all the over the top hostility from some corners and just say .... it. The old timers that are still here, have grown very thick skin. And sometimes - people work .... out. Jumkie and Rog were bitter enemies and are now best buds. Me and JPS were going at it tooth and nail for a while and just got tired of the pissing match and get along just fine.
The thing that amuses me is when some hubristic newbie comes around and tries to get under my skin, thinking they can "run me off". Man you should have seen the ....-storm of hostility towards Barry a few years ago and he's still here and well liked by all. Many anger-......s have tried to run me off. I'm still here.
And oh yeah... Go Dovi!
