Sugar & Spice I had to really wrack my brains to think of what you meant when you were talking about me referencing a GC'er that was called "ugly". But I remembered I quoted ZTAngel . . . .

If I remember correctly . . . are we talking when a bunch of people insulted Hottytoddy and those new and fake user names seemed to be invented just to be hostile to her?

I think thats what you and ZTangel are talking about.

What you say about 5 people being mean being the same as 1 person being mean is not true.

Especially if those 5 people are in a recognizable group.

If Amy comes on Gc and is mean a few times, no one is going to pay much attenton.

If Amy is mean several times a day, people will start noticing.

If Amy forms the Amy Liberatation Front with 10 of her friends, and her and 5 others frequently post mean stuff on any given that thread . . . that becomes GLARINGLY obvious.

The harem was formed, but for whatever reason a large number of people on GC now associate the Harem and Associates as a group that often makes mean posts and personal attacks.

So even the members of the harem that might do this the very least, are still painted with the same brush.
