Sometimes the self-righteous are so caught up in it that they are
perfectly happy. I don't know in this case.

It *is* sad, though. I've known several who have left this group
because of unnecessary rudeness.
I remember one in particular. They posted a recipe which included,
among other things:
[some amount] of butter or margarine
Not surprisingly, Bryan jumped on them. Never mind that they only use
butter themselves and included the other since it was part of the
recipe. But Bryan demanded his pound of flesh.
