Donald must be your ringleader.

With all these references to him ( MacAttack), I read a lot of his threads and they seemed pretty harmless. I noticed that the group message seemed to be hostile and after he stopped posting many of the views about the subject changed to a point where most people agreed with him. See the GOPro thread. I am now being ganged up for no reason. I think this is the way groups react. A few ringleaders start up a hostile environment. Good read
The Motivation to Bully Relates to One’s Social Standing in a Group

There is increasing agreement among researchers and policymakers that interventions against bullying should be targeted at the peer group level rather than at individual bullies and victims. It has been suggested that bullying behavior is partly motivated by a pursuit of high status and a powerful position in the peer group (1, 2).

Because status can only exist within a group, and it is the group that assign status to its members, the group is in the key role in regulating bullying behaviour among its members. The relevant group can be the classroom as a whole, but bullies might also want to be accepted and admired by their own, antisocial friends rather than classmates at large (3, 4).

Bullies choose victims who are submissive (5), insecure of themselves (6), physically weak and in a low-power, or in a rejected position in the group (7). By dominating victims like this, bullies can repeatedly demonstrate their power to the rest of the group and thus renew their high-status position without the fear of being confronted.

The Peer Group Often Reinforces Bullying Behavior

Demonstrations of power need witnesses. Not surprisingly, a group of peers is present in most bullying situations (8). Although it is possible that bullying incidents attract spectators, it is highly likely that the attacks are often initiated when a group of peers is already at the spot. Research shows that:

Bystanders seldom intervene (9).

Children may have different participant roles in bullying situations: victims, bullies, assistants of bullies, reinforcers of bullies, outsiders, and defenders of the victim (10).

Bystanders often reinforce the bully’s behavior by laughing or cheering.

Others might just silently witness what is happening, and the bully might interpret such behavior as approval of what he or she is doing.

Why you don't go play outside, go hide and go f*ck yourself instead of be a pain in the butt ?

Go troll somewhere else. We don't need you here.

last post then to Donald

New report I just saw on Yahoo top ten cities in the WORLD to live. Look who's number 1

Surprisingly, Toronto’s bar-raising former mayor Rob Ford and billboard-dancing hip hop superstar Drake weren’t considered in the metrics.
Best overall place to live:

10. Chicago
9. Sydney

8. Washington, DC

7. Zurich

6. Melbourne
5. San Francisco
4. Amsterdam
3. Stockholm
2. Montreal
1. Toronto
