Classic Yipper trolling.
Possibly a small element of truth mixed in with an OTT opinionated but reasonably well worded comment, designed purely to annoy the other posters (kit car owners) on that thread. Gets exactly the response he wanted, then doesn’t reply to the people he’s annoyed.
I’ve been on the receiving end of it when he first came on here and I thought it was funny. If you think Yipper is trying to upset you, you’re probably correct. Just appreciate his work and move on or try to ignore him if it actually upsets you.
Exactly. Yipper's no troll. He's not quite at Bedford Rascal or Rod Rammage levels of comedic brilliance, but he plays a very good game.Possibly a small element of truth mixed in with an OTT opinionated but reasonably well worded comment, designed purely to annoy the other posters (kit car owners) on that thread.

It's interesting that a lot of posters definition of a troll seems to be somebody who posts something they don't agree with, so this post must make me a troll
I totally agree that the term troll is misused a lot on here but that's not the case with Yipper. His posts meet the criteria of being technically within the rules but deliberately incendiary and not open to debate. It's the last point that really defines it; if someone posts something ludicrous on a forum, the point is that you can either debate, argue or discuss. Yipper's posts are the metaphorical equivalent of farting in an elevator: drop something awful, stay quiet and watch the reactions.Rawwr said:

I think you need to read some of the replies on here rather than posting for the sake of increasing your post count (this thread is working out well for you in this regard)acer12 said:
