Exactly. I've read some of the negative comments towards one poster, and believe me, they were negative, and even though I've never met any of you personally, I was very uncomfortable. I felt that if those people really wanted to vent at that poster they should have done it privately. As far as the person wanting to keep posting their opinion even though it may be in the "perceived" minority, that's the point. The poster is hoping he or she is not in the minority, and is looking for support from the many members that don't regularly post,to show that yes, other people agree with me. Its probably just human nature, as Bright says, to have everyone agree with you.
