Human ego on a message board?

So I keep on reading postsand threads on message boards. I notice people always want others to stroke their ego. Yet, if you go against the grain you get the silent treatment. I also noticed in many boards with people with multiple accounts. I never understood why people do this. I can piss off maybe two or three, but never a whole board. This is why I believe people have multiple accounts. :shk:

Ah, perhaps you are not taking into account the "pack mentality" of online forums. And nothing will bring it to the surface more than sniffing blood in the water.

It's called wolf-packing if I'm not mistaken. [??]

I think so, but man has it got real bad as of late on any message board I go too. It is worse when a MOD is affected by this. I used to be a MOD on another board and tried my best to be neutral myself so I know how stressful being a MOD can be.
