re: #3 Doofus

We are a nice family here. I respect and admire all the hard work that Charles has done to his house here. I am a proud lizard and value my ability to post. I believe the very high standards that Charles holds himself to filters down through to us, making us all better posters.

Yeah, that’s why I hang out here. I’ve seen the piling-on mentality take hold at other communities. It happens when there is groupthink, and a self-righteous attitude sets in.

The point of my post wasn’t to do a big “J’Accuse!” at LGF. It was to show that the instant social shaming that the web’s publish-many/read-many power makes possible sometimes taps into a side of humanity that seems baked into our underbrains. Even people of good will&character can gradually go astray. Don’t want to see it happen here.

(is it still concerntrolling, when you’re conscious that what you’re doing might fall into the category of concerntrolling? or is that yet another offshoot of Being Concerned?)
