Mob Mentality
"When a group of people has assembled because they're emotional and angry about something, it only takes one act of violence to whip the crowd into a fury. Others will follow the initial rioter's lead and begin destroying property or hurting people. A lot of research has been conducted into the mindset of a violent mob. Being part of a group can destroy people's inhibitions, making them do things they'd never otherwise do. They lose their individual values and principles and adopt the group's principles, which, during a riot, are usually to cause destruction and avoid detection. This standard can seem to be a just and righteous one, since the mobs assembled after an act of perceived inequality or unfairness, and the communal emotion can make the cause seem even more important. Being in the midst of a mob can be exciting and powerful, and it can make people feel invisible -- they are part of a huge group, and they won't be detected or held responsible for their actions."

Go back through this thread, the other one that I started recently and any other GTM related threads and try to find me some examples of when any positive feedback towards GTM has been liked by a large group. Or more specifically by those individuals whom have been the most vocal in a negative way in these threads recently. You wont find any. Once these people have got it in their head that they are right, they refuse to see things objectively or from a balanced viewpoint and therefore choose to ignore comments which disagree with their point of view. This is also true of myself. I am more likely to believe the positive comments over the negative as I have a vested interest. That being said, i can also pull out of the MHI deal at any time which helps to give balance and helps me see things more objectively.

The post by Alstann just a little earlier today is the perfect example. Constructive, helpful and providing information which helps those who are involved in the group by, that post has been practically ignored.....

Where in his post did he tell everybody the new estimated time frame for the kit to ship? I would think that's what most people would be waiting on. Otherwise his post said the cast parts are "trickling in" and they'll get started to bending pipe sometime down the line. That made you feel better?

And back to the lame insults......congrats.

I didn't say that it made me feel any better. Did you completely miss the entire point of my post?

Alstann was simply providing his opinion/feedback based on what he has experienced recently. After going to the trouble of writing a very long post, no one even responded or clicked the like button. However, every time someone posts up a quick, negative one-liner it gets 'liked' by several of the 'mob' within a few minutes.

Safety in numbers would be another way of looking at it.
