Dr. Bob,
You Said ---I wonder about mob mentality. I did mean "encourage" and not "harass" or "pressure". Though I guess encouragement from a mob could be experienced as pressure. But there's hardly a mob doing that here. If anything, it seems to me *not* encouraging them to apologize might be more consistent with individuals seeking safety in this "herd".---
Now I try and not get too sensitive here, it is bad for mental health, but I got to say I do think being called part of a "herd"
feels uncivil to me. No, it is more, I actually find it offensive.I am out of here. I guess I am glad you spend little time posting on psychology board because you don't get really in your heart of hearts why we are here. And I grow weary of trying to be any part of the "change" here when it isn't happening.
