Groupthink are you guilty ?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Groupthink are you guilty ?

Post by Non flying Dutchman »

Well are you ?

This site has groupthink in spades.... go along with the accepted groupthink or get slagged off, fair enough, but is it healthy ?

Do you post opinions that "fit in"

Are your opinions really yours ? or are you posting to please others ?

I don't give a toss what you think if this post, :barscarf:

How about the replies reflect your honest opinions....

The replies you want to post but feel intimidated, so you don't....

Think of it as enlightenment ........ :D

(FWIW I am not an AKB, Wob thingy, etc I am just little old me .. and yes I have had a beer or 7)

All of my posts are my own work.

If I dont feel I'm qualified or have enough knowlege on a thread/subject I wont post on it.

You could put me in the WOB category cause I hate the bastard not because I'm afraid of getting flamed. :)

I think many will testify that I have always been someone who speaks his own mind and was one of the first to raise concerns over wenger and the boards mismanagement of our club and boy did it get me into some arguments back in my early days on this forum :lol: :lol: :lol:

bollocks . this is one forum where the majority can think for themselves compare to other arsenal forums where you would be modded for posting against our dear leader, one last thing for people who just want a moan is if you dont like the place then there are options one is have a civil debate within a thread, get your point across and argue nicely and the other is too fuck off because no one is forcing anyone to post here.

And to what extent are your interpretations of opinions your own NFD and not some undergraduate over-reliance on studies by Janis? Are people drawn to this site because it reflects their views or are their posts here influenced by the sites tone? I would argue the former for reasons I can't be arsed explaining because I haven't had them validated by the group.

NFD. Have an eighth beer. then maybe another one, then go to bed and when, in the morning you're sober, have a read through the many varied threads and see if you still think there's groupthink going on because I think your suggestion's bollocks.

I don't really come on here for the football talk.

It's all about the innuendo, jokes and general piss take for this mother fucker.

And I have quite a weird range of humour so I wouldn't like to think there are too many like me posting similar garbage.

:lol:
