I think it's time for a new section. You could call it "Mob Rule". Some good subsections would be "Hysteria", "Lynching" and "Xenophobia" (and possibly "Daily Mail Readers Only"). Who knows? Perhaps it would eventually replace the "News" section...
Oh totally agree CD, perhaps a sub section on said rule stating....
All the world's Fondant Fancies belong to the original Boo, all procurement of aforementioned FF's will be deemed as theft and the perpetrator will be executed at dawn, surrounded by the inhabitants of B&S who will be furiously knitting and cackling loudly
Ochlocracy is not unusual or new to AB nor the News or any other sections for that matter. If you think that is immoral, B&S has the Tom Jones Syndrome. Some of the laydees there are only too willing to do some knicker-throwing for some cyber-male attention.
to be fair to us all rojash, where else can we all congregate to agree, disagree or in china's case, sit on the fence. We are only as good as the words we type after all, I think this is a great place to let our opionions and beliefs run riot and we don't have to clear up the mess either cos the ed or technies get us in the end.
