Cheap rye.
Bullies; particularly those of an intellectual/social bent. More than a bit of that goes on around here.
It can definitely be taken too far.
For me it's about the social dynamic as much as the argument itself. If there's five piling on one, then even if I agree with the five I'm unlikely to chime in to that effect. I simply take no joy in hitting someone when they're down like that, and the evident joy that some do take in coming together to 'mock the outsider' disgusts me. In such circumstances I'm more likely to jump in by picking at flaws in the arguments of those whose opinions I actually agree with, or lend support to the arguments of those I disagree with to whatever extent I can. It's all about levelling the playing field.![]()
Explaining to people the spelling of my name. B-r-a-i-n is brain, not Brian.
You are of course absolutely spot on, and the thing I find weird is that I bet everyone on the planet would agree...yet still we have these idiots that forget to turn it off and answer when it rings. I bet if you asked them if they hate people that do that they'd say they do too.People who forget to turn off their cell phones at the movies or who talk on them loudly...DURING the movie!. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
