> > That's funny; I was wondering something similar. I posted a one-line response: I don't think it's appropriate to stereotype people. This is hardly a controversial position for me to take; I think most people would agree that stereotyping isn't appropriate. Yet you became very angry or upset.

> SUGGESTIBILITY
>
> "...a (sensitized) person can be easily misled into thinking any suggestion that brings such strong reactions as he/she feels must be important. He/She becomes suggestible to so much. Reading a newspaper can be a real hazard. A report on illness, especially nervous illness, so impresses him/her that it can easily upset him/her for days. He/She thinks that if they haven't already had all of the described symptoms, he/she soon will have...the wrong suggestions produce fear, and fear is felt so acutely that it can override other feelings. It is because the negative, destructive suggestions carry such threat and therefore come with such force that they cling tenatiously and are so often mistaken for the truth."
