Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas. During Groupthink, members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of consensus thinking. A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group. Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the group’s balance. The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight.

People need to be respectful of others plain and simple
a little "group think" might not be such a bad thing...it's just a fishing forum after all.

I don't think group think is necessary at the expense of original ideas. Go out on a limb with your ideas. The problem we are having is not in restricting someone's ability to voice an idea or people voicing their ideas. Usually the stuff that gets squashed is because of the pigpile and nastiness just getting stupid. I do think pi$$ing contests for sport can be pretty stupid.

well I am glad my opinion was pretty well accepted! I am all for voicing opinions but if there were complete and totaly "free reign" I dont know that it would be the great site that it is. I havent browsed the other sites in YEARS....because of the stupidity.

Its about appearances .. Imagine some newb, web surfer wandering into one of our slugfest. Or worse a kid . I think its about keeping it a family place . Man up, only escalates.. How many want to man up in person ? Web fight ,worse that could happen is breaking a nail .. Want to fight ? join the army ...
