> remember those learned helplessness experiements?
I can understand this.
At first, though, it seems counterintuitive that those posters who become the most vocal and impassioned when someone is blocked from posting are now the most silent in offering their views regarding posting rules, even when asked directly.
Learned helplessness is just like depression, though. There is not enough psychic energy to deal with issues for which there is no longer sufficient emotional arousal. Resignation will take away motivation to fight.
