"taunted"? I didn't read your posts originally (I pass over a lot of posts nowadays), so I looked up all the threads that you've contributed to and I've seen nothing that would qualify to me as "taunting". Legitimate concerns over your motorpacing hobby, yes, but taunting, notsomuch.

Your first post to this forum was a description of your hobby, prefaced with the following:

Many thanks ahead of time for your genuine answers.

People think that it is silly of me to desperately try to race or keep up with Yin’s car, while I am on a road bicycle, but I guess that we all have a child side to things. Especially when the field of estate law can be quite stressful, so by setting a mental goal that keeping up with Yin is a compulsion, I push myself riding as hard as possible to unwind from work.
You've brought this matter up in a few other threads.

What are you looking for? Validation? Praise?

People who took the time to respond brought up legitimate concerns. Others perhaps chose to remain silent because they didn't have anything constructive to add. I certainly wouldn't have responded. My philosophy is, you're an adult and can make your own choices, and so long as you don't disrupt others' lives, go for it (I'd use the phrase "knock yourself out" but maybe that wouldn't be a good choice here )

Anyhow, welcome to TE.
