[QUOTE=Mangetout] To give him his due, he hasn’t called us a ‘hive mind’, yet, unless I missed it. [/QUOTE] Are we really a hive mind??? That would explain the buzzing between my ears and the fact that I haven’t had an original thought in about a year! When I was a Str8 Dope lurker I had the most brilliant, unassailable thoughts, but as soon as I became a member I came upon thread after thread where someone else had preceded me with my thoughts only better organized and more felicitously expressed. Soon I found myself bouncing back and forth between opposing opinions. No one was wrong, everyone was right. Symptoms of Hive Mind? ---

No, we’re not a hive mind, but it’s quite common for flouncy uptight newbies to include that accusation in their parting words. ---

Oh, come on now guys, let’s just fess up. We are so a hive mind. I pride myself on that fact. It’s how I introduce myself, “Hi. I’m shamrock and I’m part of a hive mind”. I was going to have t-shirts made up and everything (jackals wearing bee costumes for the design). ---

I think that he was a previous poster whos subscription ran out recently . Some of his postings were obviously made pissed up (Im not pointing any fingers ,Im no innocent myself) and the not long left poster did the same. The taunt about" are you more intelligent then a sock" and the completely unnatural personality reinforce my impression.
