108. Good post. I have to ask: Why the Hell are hostile people swarming the HRC Group?!

Mon Feb 22, 2016, 02:59 PM

Feb 2016

They have no manners, they reek condescension and hostility, they are not winning votes. What is wrong with them?

It is not enough that they've taken over the rest of the Board, is it? No, they've got to go out of their way to trample on anyone who disagrees with them and their tactics, including swarming a group that is laughably called a safe haven.

One person said this is gaming community behavior. Probably so. But there's another way of looking at it as well, and that comes from being well old enough to remember China's Cultural Revolution. That ain't red-baiting, that's a social and psychological observation.

I'm am beyond disgusted that a formerly valuable Democratic site has been allowed to slide into this muck.

JURY: I am posting in the HRC Group in a thread that is being swarmed.
