What I can see in this thread, is that there are lots of members who find reactions that differs from their own, to be offensive enough to ridicule the person describing their reactions and opinions.
It is pack mentality, not a conspiracy. It often feels like a conspiracy, because the opposition presents a shifting wall of people making singular snipes and then vanishing, rather than discussing the idea itself on its merits. It is a pack attack, not discussion.
It is very unfortunate, because actual real-world experiences, no matter what they are, are informative to those of us who do not have enough experience to set correct expectations yet. There is a lot of value in those, and zero value in "You need psychiatric help" and "You're wrong, because I believe you are wrong, and I'm right" type of responses.
It is very surprising, too, because this forum seems to be quite friendly, and I have not seen the kind of "this is the way things are, and how they must be, and you should go away" type of reaction in other topics. Therefore, seeing the responses as conspiracy-like, is not that odd.
