I agree that is not mockery the question you asked.
I would also say, The Telegraph, while biased on certain issues is not an obscure conspiracy theory outlet.
Most often it is not about challenging the information or the source from a poster but actual ridicule and mockery not a bit here and there but continually, key word continually!!
There is no rationalizing or justifying that, and "newsflash" people can dislike Trunk, still be conservative and not have TDS.
What is more evident is there is a little group of "Trunk groupies" and they want to silence the dissenting view NOT challenge it and they know they have strength in numbers.
