Pistonheads running hot

I’ve suddenly received a spew of comments and emails from assorted “driving enthusiasts” who seem to have found themselves in a rash of confusion as to whether I’m pro-car, anti-car, pro-4×4, anti-4×4, a Commie, a greenie, a liberal do-gooder, a vegie-fascist, a total idiot, someone who eats horse turds with goats cheese for breakfast, or even a little green man from Mars.

Okay, I added the last epithet but the others were among the more printable descriptions I’ve received in the past 48 hours.

A quick review of the statistics for the blog revealed almost all of the people spitting and projectile vomiting in my general direction were coming from the PistonHeads forums, after Thinfourth2 obligingly mentioned two of my posts there. (And note, there are some more reasonable people posting on that forum!)
