Think about this, some of these people have posted thousands and thousands of times. New posters are especially fair game and the frequent posters comments are meant to demean and intimidate these people. First they attack the new poster then they demand more information so they can attack again. Their real purpose is to silence dissent. These cyber bullies for some reason get a free pass on TOTV. I find it highly distasteful. It is like the mother in law who demeans her daughter in law with constant criticisms veiled as helpful, but meant to overpower the young woman and then when her "sweetie" son comes in the room she is all "lovey dovey."
Their real purpose is that they grow tired of negativism like this post. They grow tired of erroneous and hypercritical and pot stirring posts. Many feel exactly the same, so they say things like, I agree, and excellent post.

AND talking about bullying, there is a group who all just begin drooling to kick those folks who seem to have a group of friends.

Being hateful is not ever productive. Some of us aren't going to just sit here and let incorrect information go unchallenged. Maybe it is pride of ownership, sense of team, being happy here, recognizing a very good thing.

Or those who don't agree can, and will color it however they please. They are anonymous.
