I've checked out /r/running, Runner's World forums, and other online "hobby" hangouts and I've never seen anything that remotely resembles the anti-hobby jogger threads on this forum. What kind of hostility are you talking about, exactly? "That a**hole thinks he's hot sh*t" or something on that level? Do they have their own derogatory term for faster runners? That would be humorous.
you haven't been to the darkest corners of the internet where I usually hang out. It's dark, very dark.
