It's easier and more satisfying for them to enjoy familiar flavors, to find new ways in which to toy with those they've already identified as common enemies, spurred on by what can be very negligible offenses that they perceive. From the time that they've established a solidarity about their opinions on a person, that person is fair game.
In my opinion it's why some married couples end up having "less friends." These weird power games that people get engaged in, to feel a power in their marriage to be committed to, when the power of a more humane quality of love is not available to them.

Thank you. I intend to keep writing about this guy until I can get it all out.... Some of his reactions and/or mindgames were truly bizarre. And the topper was that he couldn't or wouldn't let me get away, and kept sucking me in for more abuse.
One of the truly bizarre things he said to me, is that he didn't really believe what he was preaching, and could just as easily live a worldly life filled with casual sex and prostitutes... It was totally out of left field... I don't know whether he was actually serious, or trying to make some kind of point that only he understood, or what, but it's one of many occasions where I wish I had had a hidden recording device.
When we stopped attending the church he told us that our reasons for leaving were "unbiblical". ??? what the hell does that even mean? I was tired of his games and wanted to get away. How could that possibly be "unbiblical"?
The entire experience left me feeling I had truly experienced something evil.
The best thing I can say about the entire experience is that it appears he is no longer a pastor, but is rather flipping houses.
