You could make the most innocuous post or comment in a hobby sub about stuff that doesn't matter. Then like clockwork every toxic smug shit-head debate lord on the site is going to jump down your throat. It's amazing how they pair their arrogance with how objectively wrong they are about everything.

I once had one tell me that my bonsai pancake arborvitae was dead and I should throw it away because it had winter bronzed foliage. They went on ad nauseum about its crunchy brown needles. Now mind you this is a very happy little tree, and this person lives in a zone that would not sustain it, but they simply wouldn't shut up about how they were some grand master gardener and they knew a dead tree when they saw one.

Suhc a specific, but appropriate example lol. How did you get into bonsai trees?

Funny enough, Reddit. Kept seeing all these little trees in my feed till one day I just got one. I have about 10 now, though I have killed probably as many. None of mine are magnificent, but I love them.
