Why do some idiots feel the need to flag, downgrade, or otherwise tear down nice things?

I post the SS on Craigslist... it's flagged down in 1.5 hours.  Why?  I have no idea, and neither did anyone on their help board.

I post it on PNWRiders, and in short order some wanker gave that classified thread a "1-star" rating.  Their forum rules ask for price, location, pics, etc... I post all of those.  Several pics, location, info on the bike, price, and contact method.  Someone still feels the need to downgrade that thread.  WTF?  Why? 

One of my pet peeves are people who think it's fun to make other people's lives difficult, endanger them, harm them, cost them money, etc.  Doing deliberate harm to others is wrong.  >:(

"Try to leave the world a better place than you found it"... what is so difficult about this concept?

honest assessment (seriously i'm not trying to be a dick)

Your CL add was way too much

you are selling a 2001 SS that books at 4200 and trying to sell it for 5600 - 6K

now to us

we understand what the bike means to you and understand your passionate ad and the price

it was a good read

but

some folks when spending time and effort to look for a vehicle or toy

find that kind of ad irritating

and

a waste of their time

so when given the opportunity to flag it they will
