I just followed a recent nutter to his own forum. I was surprised to see, even from such an idiot, a kind of similar thing in reverse to what we see here. People all of a similar mindset convinced of their own POV, and producing a wall of supposed evidence that the minority visitors trolled and rarely faced of with reasonable argument.
That is unfortunate, but completely expected. People are herd animals and they seek out others that are similar to themselves.
Then perform a self-perpetuating affirmation of their own ideologies and predjudices to strengthen the group cohesion and villify
those not of the group. It's simply too easy to cast dispersions in online forums (You are a tool, moron, ID10T , etc) to get a true debate
but we'll take what we can get I guess.
