Mob Mentality - Herd Behaviour- Group Hysteria

Quote from GrandSupercycle:

Collective behavior on the internet as displayed in some online forums. . .

'Communal reinforcement is a social phenomenon in which a concept or idea is repeatedly asserted in a community, regardless of whether sufficient empirical evidence has been presented to support it. Over time, the concept or idea is reinforced to become a strong belief in many people's minds, and may be regarded by the members of the community as fact'

'Most of the time, people conform for one of two reasons: informational social influence, following the opinions or behavior of other people because we believe that they have accurate knowledge and that what they are doing is right, and normative social influences, conforming to obtain the reward that comes from being accepted by other people while at the same time avoiding their rejection'

'Herd behavior describes how individuals in a group can act together without planned direction. The term pertains to the behavior of animals in herds, flocks and schools, and to human conduct during activities such as stock market bubbles and crashes, street demonstrations, sporting events, religious gatherings, episodes of mob violence and everyday decision-making, judgment and opinion-forming'

'Crowds that gather on behalf of a grievance can involve herding behavior that turns violent, particularly when confronted by an opposing ethnic or racial group'

'Large stock market trends often begin and end with periods of frenzied buying (bubbles) or selling (crashes). Many observers cite these episodes as clear examples of herding behavior that is irrational and driven by emotion - greed in the bubbles, fear in the crashes. Individual investors join the crowd of others in a rush to get in or out of the market'

'Some followers of the technical analysis school of investing see the herding behavior of investors as an example of extreme market sentiment. The academic study of behavioral finance has identified herding in the collective irrationality of investors'

Please note I did not initiate conflict with the trolls and sockpuppets - some being notorious for scapegoating individuals causing them to leave ET.
These trolls who clearly have problems are solely responsible for this conflict as they chose to troll my threads and stalk me.
This fact can not be disputed as it's the truth.
If I cease posting at ET it will mean I've been banned.
 
I saw the OP (GSCycle) being mentioned in various places (though i didnt really follow) and it seems you guys really have something against him. I don't know what he posted that made you so pissed off but seriously calling him out for not putting a source of a quote is overkill, never mind that you're already ignoring the subject of his post. If it was someone else i don't think you'd do that.

So here's something for psychology:

@GSCycle,
maybe these people exhibiting forms of adolescent behaviour enjoy messing around with you due to your overreaction to their words. Did you consider ignoring them, or not taking things people on a forum say so seriously and/or personally? I don't see how anything hugely important could be at stake here (your posts, your blog, etc) so what's the difficulty?

Also, maybe some of the posters are confirming that the quoted text has truth in it? ;)

don't worried about being banned. just don't offend a mod who has power issues in his personal life. he then uses the delete button to show that he has control or he shifts the thread to chit chat or politics,
in a feeble attempt to have less people see it.

what is more interesting is that no one has posted the source of grand...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_behavior
also, there has been a lackluster response considering the importance of the subject of this thread. this thread should have been 20+ pages by now.
what can you expect when most posters are products of an american education.

keep posting grand... and ignore the hoi polloi.

I'm pretty sure they deleted that post because it mentioned the ch**d pr0n that happened around here. They don't want google returning results with those key words back at ET.

Here's another idea why some people have much against you. Maybe they followed your blog and advice for real trading, being unable to trade themselves. They hate the fact that it didn't work out and blame you for sounding all too important and knowledgable when in fact they should have been more careful what they base their trades on. It's possible, imho, as it has happened many times, for various twitter accounts and regarding false "pros" who made claims. I'm not saying you're any of that, but perhaps they thought you are, i'm just not into the whole story.
 
'why was this post deleted' refers to content re-posted as it had been removed.
It asks why evidence of Nine_Ender's blatant lies is being deleted from this site.
I was not referring to the defamatory post by Nine_Ender / newwurldmn that's still on the Market Outlook thread.


zdreg,
thanks for your input.
