Whereas I am against fascism (and hence the reason why I hate the Computer Science department at Essex University (but thats another story)) I firmly believe that "groupthink" as you call it is a good way to regulate something such as a talker.

As for posting/expressing opinions that might go against the norm, thats only healthy. Its only when you get these complete idiots who shove really unpleasant opinions in your faces that it gets nasty.

And as for suggesting that people won't post/say things that they want to say just because they might get moderated down, frankly I don't care for the opinions of anyone who is so incredibly herd-driven that they fear upsetting someone who probably isn't even in the same country as them.

Moderate this to the minimum score, for all I care.
