Wise.
But this mentality gives insecure individuals
the security that they need to
feel like they function individually.
or perhaps it gives those who dont like the group mentality a way to avoid the group mentality?

do you teach psych, or physics? they kinda have similiar spellings, so i want to make sure.

F = ma stuff.

Definitely dont like group mauling of
what appear to be easy or convenient prey.
Uneasy feeling when the home team that
I happen to root for starts cheering when
the underepresented opposition has a player
go down etc...

Giant gatherings with the group all chanting
in unison is a powerful sort of addicting scary
at the same time kinda thing.

Nazi sort of momentum that builds,
and then add the God is on our side
to the mix... it gets more thana bit
frightening.

This in no way should be compared to
a silly board but it does, I admit, expose
my willingness to be manipulated to
take what may be deemed an unpopular
stance. Even if I dont really have an
an opinion either way to begin with.
