<yawn> The recycling of this mayhem is so tedious it is taking a toll on forum fun and pleasant participation in pursuing actual topics of interest.
One characteristic that Wombaticus Rex and JackRiddler share with seemslikeadream is the courage of their own convictions and the ability to communicate those opinions with enough clarity that they stand on their own without needing interpretation, repetition and endorsement by others to demonstrate a group consensus. They all are strong individual, solid voices. There is no need to constantly regurgitate them.
When others “pile on” simply to overwhelm the target of that ire with uninvited additional group pressure, often obviously motivated by a simple desire to sadistically participate in the persecution of a sensitive or unpopular or outnumbered opponent, it becomes apparent that is simply bullying by sycophantic followers to compound the continuing cruelty and crush the victim under the weight of majority rule and dominance. They, again, want to join in on the follow-up group violence and vicarious smothering.
Often these bullies are less articulate, admiring wannabes only capable of copying, quoting and imitating others, rather than expressing their personal but elaborating perspectives that add valuable insight into the issues in dispute. They do, however, specialize in juvenile insult and baiting and the thrill of vicarious violence. “Yes Men” applies.
Avatars are also often revealing of intended image projection and intent, such as, “Belligerent Savant” can also be translated as, “Aggressively Angry Know-It-All”. That implied arrogance, superiority and lack of compassionate sympathy are bully traits. It is not surprising such a personality ridicules friendship, faith and soulful music imagery.
But the damage to the forum is evidenced up thread here, and over recent years, when group pressure becomes gangsterism and incites exactly the defensive volume of posts at issue. It should deter the more intelligent members here from adding to and compounding the cruelty of the ongoing pattern of group aggression and disruption in passive-aggressive-defensive chaos.
Again, we all need to return to more civil and sensitive tolerance of diversity.
And to the topic of this thread.
The group dynamics involved in covertly killing spies and political patsies on both sides of the propaganda war show how bullying is addictive and grows exponentially when incited and sanctioned by callous leaders corrupting a gullible following of similar sadists.
