Would one not expect that of the 'worst people on Earth'?

What's changing, your mind or the goal posts?

Environmentalis want to keep you poor and hungry or starving.

Aaaaaand this sort of crap is why I don't visit E.M.
I used to look forward to coming to Ecomodder to read about the latest projects dealing with modding CARS.
But in the last few years, I have noticed there is just more posts about politics and arguments about everything from Global Warming to Covid to flat Earth or whatever.
The first thing I always do, is go to the " latest posts" link and from that, I see the same crap all over again
I last took a peek at this site a few months ago.
It looks like not much has changed.

An environmentalist would say.

The right-most column is Forum. You can note the ones in The Lounge and avoid them.

A helpful person might say.

oil pan 4 -- Don't ever change, it would be curtains for the thread.

I agree with this. The Aptera thread was similarly tanked by irrelevant arguments and personal vendettas.

It ran to 523 posts from 2019-08. In this month, two posts -- one got two thanks, the other pushed back on the off-my-lithium posts.

I don't see anything like the drama that goes down in Aerodynamics.

Aerodynamics is a classic old technology new technology war with the proponents of the new tech perpetually getting hostile. It's like getting pissed off because Sri Lanka citizens don't speak perfect NY city english in their country.
