Why be anti-motorist, and why compulsively lie about it? There can be no logical answer. There's no point in trying to make sense out of the (actual) trolls here and their utterly whacked way of looking at the world. It's much better just to goad them instead (although I suppose it's a bit unfair, in the same way that taking the piss out of handicapped people is).
