Friends,
it is written here something about scapegoating from another member here.
I am requesting that if you are going to reply to this thread that you consider the followin:
Scapegoating is a word that has ancient religious meanings. The ancient Jews had the concept of the scapegoat and then the Christians .
But scapegoating here can be a little different. The aspect of scapegoating used on a person in a group has been used historically as a tactic used by other members of a group to attatch blame on a person, holding that person responsible for something that could either exist or not in the community.
Either way, scapegoating can occur if there is someone calling others in the group to have blame attached to a person in a group by the others in the group.
In fascists countries, scapegoating has been used historically against many persons and groups. Hitler's scapegoating culminated in the holocaust. Millions of people were murdered. In looking at the historical chronology of the Nazi scapegoating of jews and others, there is a succession of things that happen. The first thing is to have someone publish something to arrouse blame to the one, or ones, that are being scapgoated.
In the innitial post in this thread, in your opinion, do you see any indication that any blame for anything in this community is being attempted to be attached to me? In your opinion, is there a statement in the innitial post that could have the potential for some others to think that I (Lou) is having attached blame for ,[...disrupting the entire group...]? And in your opinion, what could be the potential for some others to think that, considering that the poster writes,[...hope that others will at least indicate whether or not they agree with me here..].
There are many others here that have responded to the poster of the innitial post that they agree with that poster. When this happens, there could be the potential for others to {bandwagon} and there could be the potential for {mob rule} to ensue.
I am not ashamed to post responses to other's posts here, or to offer to consider aspects that IMO could be relevant to discussions here, for they are for consideration for discussion only. And I feel that even if I have charactorized as the {Lone Dissenter} here, I feel that I can hold my own and protect my integrity against anything that is written here that could have the potential to be considered an accusation that could have the potential to attach blame to me for anything real or imiagined here in this community.
