CFrance,

I know what you mean.

There’s a lot of pack-behavior going on around here lately.

OK, boys, let me explain. . .

What the OP is talking about made me think of a salon.(Noooo, not a hair salon and most certainly not a “cult” as one poster put it.)

The salon originated in early 18th Century France at a time in history known as “The Enlightenment.” People wanted to gather for interesting, intelligent discussion.

Women played a central role in organizing the salons of Paris at the time — which helped to reduce the marginalization of women.

I think there are a lot of people in TV and everywhere else who are sick and tired of listening to the same old #-&*@ regurgitated, sometimes verbatim, from whatever is the chosen screen of influence.

There is a need — and a big want — for group discussions of interesting topics.

I know the OP did not call it a salon, but that is basically what it sounds like to me. A few years ago young people were organizing groups like this and calling them salons. I like the idea.

Anyway, you guys need to stop behaving like cliches. You are reinforcing a stereotype — and besides, it’s rude.
