And some of those people will then go on to say that a particular forum
[where nobody agreed with
them, because everybody else is marching out of step] needs to be replaced
with a different type
of forum. A moderated forum. It is never explicitly stated, but may be
inferred, that they'd like
those moderators to be people who agree with them, or for they, themselves,
to actually be
the moderators.
For bonus points, they may state (without providing names or evidence) that
people on the
forum accuse them of acting in bad faith. Which may be true, even though I
don't recall
seeing that particular accusation on this list while I've been here. Or it
may be subtly
poisoning the well: those who disagree with me are obviously acting in bad
faith because they
accuse me of acting in bad faith [but no evidence of such accusations is
provided].
