So are we in Grupthink Army Kindergarten now or what? Your thoughts about it?

Well, I can understand that you get irritated with people on here at times. I know I am pretty much an irritating factor to some people too. But I currently wonder where the grown up people have gone to. Some lovely grupies I know, have turned to a bunch of 5 year olds it seems, playing army games and dissing grupies like we used to in Kindergarten when we didn't like someone. worse of all they are dissing people that do not participate in their little game just the same because they add asnwers to that chosen evil persons topic. How would you feel if all your answers are marked negative and you don't even know why? would you stay? Hurray we are chasing away all that has just arrived by being utterly stupid! yes, go ahead, marked all of the stuff negative.... but it's a fact. It's driving me crazy; we need to stop this stuff or we need to hand out the dyper award for the biggest kids on the block.

I don't mind. Let them do, if it keeps them happy.

Grupthink is an exercise in geek facism.

Similar to Microsoft, Google, and Wikipedia, Grupthink punishes minority individual thought and encourages an elitist perspective. Grupthink is a good idea and is fun enough if that is how you make it. The road to HELL is paved with good intentions.

Karma's a B - - - -

Like most other Web sites where users contribute, if you innundate the site with obnoxious, random scribblings, don't be surprised if people take a negative view of your contributions and go out of their way to criticize you.

Blame it on the system!

Is there a conspiracy among the regulars or does the voting/ scoring mechanism place too much emphasis on grupie points to evaluate the opinions of each user - i.e. prolific grupies are prioritised at the expense of new-comers.

It's difficult to say given that the mechanism is a "secret"!
