           "CROWD  MENTALITY"  -  There  is  a  theory  that  says
            people  behave  much  worse  /  far  less  humanely  when
            they  are  protected  by  the  anonymity  and  diminished
            responsibility  of  acting  as  part  of  a  crowd.  This  was
            dramatically  demonstrated  in  a  Darren  Brown  show
            where an audience of masked viewers worked as a group
            to  inflict  distress  on  a  victim  with  disastrous
            consequences. You Tube it... Yesterday I got fed up of
            the  nasty,  bitchy,  cliqueyness  on  the  Etsy  forums  and
            posted a comment on there, suggesting we speak more
            tactfully  &  thoughtfully  to  each  other.  Often  someone
            asks  a  genuine  question  and  is  inundated  with  nasty
            comments,  accusations,  unhelpful  criticism  and  several
            forum members even 'gang up' on one poster! So what
            do  you  think  happened  when  I  posted  my  comment
            suggesting more tact, thought & diplomacy?

            metal easels, lent against the wall waiting to go back to
            the gallery. Sprained wrist, black n blue bruised bottom!
            Pulled back! Who knew ART would be SO Dangerous!

           I shall brace myself against this relentless winter with my
            favourite breakfast; Filter Coffee, Dark Chocolate, Alicia
            Keys  singing  Empire  State  &  a  BIG  side  of  Codeine!
            Mmmmm
