You know, sad to say but it has a lot to do with anonymity. People hid behind their online persona, and use names like Grey_cat, or blessed isis. You dont know me, and I dont know you. Its hard to trust people you dont know, so the ones that know each other flock together for mutual support. Can you blame them? If you criticize the wrong person, that person can attack you from behind their online mask, and should it get to hot for them they can always run away and find a new online mask. If this is a community, then its a community of strangers. Sad to say John Stroo
