Most of us want to give people the benefit of the doubt. Gullible seems a little harsh, but there are lots of blind followers. We tend to pick sides and then defend that decision, even against common sense or reason. On the opposite side, we also tend to jump on band wagons against individuals. This seems especially true with online forums. Whatever a group of individuals wants to believe is far more powerful than even truth or facts. Perception is reality. It's a group think mentality. We really need to exercise our individual logic and reasoning skills and make wise decisions. It's so easy to just jump on the bandwagon. BTW, I'm talking in generalities here, not referring to any specific case.
