Yes, In some people minds that is the case. Do you think that is a big own on me? No. I agree, those guys shouldn't be doing that because they look like idiots.

However at the same time I understand the attitude. The fact that I understand an attitude doesn't mean I condone it.

Whether it is true or not doesn't matter. If motorists don't police the most extreme members then motorists are defined by those members.

You don't condone it but you think calling it nasty behavior is preachy. Sounds like you are so afraid of being vocal and preachy that the most you can do is say “tisk, tisk” - hardly effective policing.
