There's getting mad for fun and actually getting mad. They shade into each other a bit, but they're different things.
The Dobson thread is like picking a scab. He's not exactly a horrible human being on the level of Nick Bate, he's just kind of annoying, but there's a safety and consistency to his style of annoying that makes it a fun thread, at least for me. You can always check in and Dobbo will have said something annoying and stupid.
Wu is a different kind of annoying. Wu was much more enraging in the brief period that Wu actually had some level of influence, but now Wu has descended to Vade levels of relevance and it's more a matter of kick the autistic. I don't like Wu at all, Wu pisses me off, but at this point Wu is much more in the getting mad for fun category.
Then you have the rare cow that does shit so vile that they actually legitimately make you angry, like Nick Bate. Again, this is more past tense, because that fucker is never going to get a chance to hurt anyone ever again. JTM is sort of a current example of that. What is so actually infuriating about vermin like this is that they commit heinous and atrocious acts and then smugly boast about them and how they got away with them.
It was really, really nice to see Nick Bate have that fucking smug thumbs-up smile wiped the fuck off his face forever.
Outside of the few cows who have victims other than themselves, though, I can't see getting blood pressure raising mad about most of these idiots. If they mostly made me mad, I wouldn't consider them lolcows but enemies.
I'm always somewhat interested in people getting mad at Connor, though, because it is weirdly usually not malicious. I think most people who care about Connor at all actually want to see him succeed. Let's face it, despite his lolcow status, he is only marginally more fucked up than most of us. So people white knight and offer advice and want to see him do better and then get mad when their overly optimistic wishes are thwarted.
