He has hardly attacked, just called out. OP was asking some advice about land laws etc. in relation to someone using the land, said person was identified as part of a local traveller community, this may or may not have been relevant, but either way there wasn't anything negative said about the guy and OP had mentioned talking with him seemingly amicably so no reason to think otherwise.

Weasel words. Calling someone out for racism IS an attack! And it becomes a very vicious, upsetting attack when other lynch mob members instantly pile in, even though they haven't read the context or understood the issue. For lynch mob members, speed of attack is much more important than thinking it through or knowing what you're talking about.

This is it (and put more succinctly than I could have). I actually want to help him adjust to it for both our benefits and my wife wants to support him to find a better home for his horses - this will benefit us admittedly. I felt it was appropriate to say he was from a travelling community for the reasons I stated and also acknowledge that that has increased my anxiety about the issues. It’s a me problem, not a him problem and I need to ensure I’m doing what I can to be protected against an adverse possession claim and that by, either by not taking actions or by acting in a way that mitigates against one, I’m protecting myself and my land.

So why was he attacked while the OP wasn't? Could it be that the OP's post was too long for the eager lynch mob members to read? IME they have a habit of throwing around their filthy accusations without troubling to read the context of what has apparently upset them. But if they outnumber their victim they always get away it.
