I don't know that that occurs with CB-ers alone.
I'd call that the sad mentality! There's been loadsa threads in here
and in HAM (when I was allowed in there that is) about triangulation of
sad-ites going around jamming repeaters or those that are attempting
to use them.
Like any community, there's always going to be strange types gettin their
jollies off in strange ways. We've got (still got?) "the whistler" who
by dint of political conviction, jams the Crystal Palace 2M repeater in
SE London. He/she/it was never caught
