Why so many?

I was looking over the LOTRO forums today, and couldn’t help but notice the colossal amount of jerks on there. It seems that in each and every class forum, there are lengthy monologues about how each class has been nerfed and sucks now, and they are going to roll a Rune Keeper.
You read the threads and they just go on and on about how this has been done wrong, Turbine should have done this, Turbine shouldn’t have done that, and really, there is just a whole bunch of complaining going on. It isn’t even intelligent complaining, it is the bleatings of the belligerent and stupid.
Oh I know there are a fair few on those forums who are actually nice, thoughtful, intelligent people, but there is a disparate amount of the silly, facile, and immature.
Today I read a thread about those people who like to jump on the tables in the 21st Hall. This place is usually super packed, as it contains the auction house, crafting areas, and a few other things. There are people who find it enjoyable to jump around on the tables in this hall, or jump in between them. Some do it purely to alleviate boredom, or to just keep moving. Others, and this is a small minority, but they are there, do it purely to annoy others.
They get on the thread and rant about how some people get annoyed by them jumping around on tables, and yet state that they do it just to annoy people. I don’t know if they see the flaw in that logic, and I am not going to be the one to point it out to them. I don’t post on those forums, really, I am trying too hard to avoid the WoW-kids.
