"the group collectively acts as if you were a cult leader" Archived Message Posted by Willem on April 26, 2019, 11:46 pm, in reply to "Reading comprehension" What utter nonsense. A number of individuals finding Dan acting wisely is translated into "acting as if he's a cult leader"! Anytime there's a large majority in favour of some person/group/party do you react this way? Is Putin a "cult leader" because he gets an 80% approval rating? Is Corbyn?
