WOW! Nail right on the head hit- -and hard! Excellent post!

That is a load of rationalizing crap. Any "groupism" on this thread was the normal human and social response of human beings to dangerous, mean, and antagonistic behaviour defiant of normal standards of fairness, decency, and respect. People expressed their personal opinions of his boorish behaviour (and yours) in the same way they would express it in a club house--or in any other public place. It is the way society survives: by holding common standards, and by protecting and preserving those standards from the attacks of deviants and fools...and from the shortcomings of the mentally disturbed, and the emotionally ill.
Yes. That's a clear exposition of an idea I've been trying to get at for a while. That's the correct answer to the "gang" charge. What they call a "gang" is a group of individuals disgusted by the antics of a few sociopaths who happen to be lawyers and use that to neutralize the law that ordinarily would intervene.
