This makes me wonder how many posts are motivated deep down by jealousy, and wanting things one cannot afford.

Only a person knows the truth inside them, unless of course they are in denial. It is easy, psychologically, to see how wishing deep down that someone had something can lead to that someone bashing it.

I don't believe that to be the case. Rather, it's because our hobby unfortunately over the years has had numerous frauds and people's radar are justifiably up.
