That seems to me to be an extremely misguided observation. I see no “cool kids table” here at the SDMB. I do see a “dipshits and douchebags table”, and it’s really small, and with rare exceptions most of its occupants tend to get thrown out of school and never seen again.
Speaking only for myself, I tend not to join in pile-ons and I think most here don’t actually make a habit of it. When apparent pile-ons occur, they’re usually well deserved, and yes, I do join in if and when I have a particular beef against a poster who has mightily pissed me off. And needless to say, most of us are intelligent enough to distinguish between “pissed me off” and “disagreed with me”. The evidence that pittings are well deserved is that there’s a pretty high correlation between posters who have been pitted and posters who are no longer with us, except perhaps as reincarnated footwear.
You’re both wrong. Using mayo as a base for a tangy or spicy seafood sauce is an old culinary tradition. One of the best sauces to have with lobster cakes or crab cakes, for example, is chipotle mayo, which is not the same as the mayo sauce recipe here, but the same general idea of tarting up a mayo base to make it a great seafood accompaniment.
