I think it best that those who do engage in put downs and group speak together from being online together, thus effectively becoming and behaving like a gang from familiarity, should decide for themselves.

We are all prone to it, even me at times. Thats why I avoid familiarity with most people. groups can easily become gangs

'The level of humanity in a group is inversely proportionate to the size of the group'

there is no humanity in the first place. We are all a bunch of dumb animals eating each other at the root of it all to be honest.

Dumb animals who can do neat things, like build monoliths.

We didn't build the monolith. If anything, the monolith built us.

Nah, it was the little green plastic army men that built us.

Dumb animals none-the-less.

Doubt it. The OP called me a fascist bully in another thread, then created this one.

Lemme tell ya'll a little story

i was once part of a far left wing forum for communists, we all agreed on some pretty basic things, the eliminations of surplus value, the libertarian of the working class, direct democracy, to an outsider we would have all appeared identicle in belief, so people must have wondered what in the world did we ever debate about if we agreed with eachother?
Oh well we found a way - to such an extant that each clique was had about 15 people in a forum far larger then this one, and it ended with me and a dozen others getting banned, an admin coup, a change in leadership and the eventual rise of a more democratic forum then before after the toppling of a tyrant, I kind of got swept under the rug as a troublemaker on trumped up charges during the drama..

Oh geez. I've found that socialists (at least in America where I live) tend to be some of the worst for factionalism and getting nothing done because of fighting with each other. The autistic community have nothing on them.

I've found that the very worst thing to ever do if you (general-you) want to avoid groupthink, is declare yourself immune from groupthink. People don't understand how groupthink works. It doesn't feel from the inside the way it looks from the outside. Like most things, really. So if someone thinks themselves incapable of groupthink, I start being really careful. The easiest way to end up with a particular flaw is to think yourself immune to it, because then you don't monitor yourself for it, and... it sneaks in.

Even worse... you can end up with a group forming itself around you, and find yourself nearly powerless to escape it and thus assumed one of it.

Look, Surfer. This is a forum for autistics. Being bad at observing social trends is one of our defining features. Could you please provide a few examples of this sort of thing, for purposes of evaluation? 'Cause I don't see it.

Why would someone want to call a nice person like you, that?

If I remember correctly, his introductory thread mentioned a "lurking" of sorts.

lol. I've been on and off this site for several years and I STILL haven't figured out which groups are which. Perhaps each time I come on I don't linger long enough to find out.

I like that. Are you born in the year of the rabbit, birthday this year? So, WP is not the BS free zone it appears? Bummer, I suppose thats why posters eventually wander off into the cyberdarkness

Yep, rabbit it is.

It is ironic when a search to find 'anything but' ends in finding 'more of the same'. If only there was a truly different kind of human.

Way to be obvious.

People throw around words like "fascist" too easily.
I doubt half of the people who use it even know what it means. :roll:

For a few days, yeah. Not for months on end.
