But this forum has groups of members who will honest-to-god grandstand about how invincible they are and how much they influence who gets to stay and who has to go. Members who make it their business to try and actively control who gets to stay via pretty much group bullying. And the worst part is, everyone here probably thinks of the same people when I say that. Everyone here would probably think of the same people, even if it were say, Janzsoon or Right-Track or Mojo saying it. Those people.

True. But there's also always a cult of personality around at least one person on a site who's charismatic and abusive. Just one more part of the fabric of internet life. It's BS, but forums still function regardless.
