If someone comes on here.. posts an inane question (that can almost always be answered by doing a search..or god forbid!! a google search).. and gets their wittle feewings hurt, then they need to get a thicker skin. Life aint cheesecake and wine... deal or hide from the fact that not everything is unicorns and rainbows. Personally, I prefer people that understand that life is REAL.
While not actually disagreeing with what you've written (as if!), I have observed a rather sheep-like/hive-mind/clique at work in respect of certain individuals on CM. This is hardly surprising, given that most people are fairly sheep-like IRL, therefore there's no particular reason why they should be any different online.
That said, posting an inflamatory "question" or "poll" isn't the way to counter such thinking, and the OP clearly has issues in this regard.
But hey ho, it's all grist to the mill that is the study of online cliques - the net's full of them. Sometimes I find myself "with" a certain group, sometimes against, but the key factor is to not actually give a fuck in the first place. That way lies madness [:D]
There; a balanced reply, in that both sides will doubtless be royally pissed off. Go me [;)]
