"Experts attribute the destructive nature of anonymous online mobs to group dynamics, saying that groups with homogeneous views tend to become more extreme as members reinforce each other’s beliefs, they fail to see themselves as individuals, so they lose a sense of personal responsibility for their destructive acts, they dehumanize their victims, which makes them more willing to behave destructively, and they become more aggressive when they believe they are supported by authority figures."

Damn, did he describe himself and the rest of the IDiots on UD, or what? Whether "anonymous" or not, the homogeneous IDiot mob at UD claims to have support from "God", the ultimate 'authority figure', and they have certainly lost any sense of personal responsibility for their destructive nature (if they ever had any, which I doubt). And no one tries harder to "dehumanize their victims" than gordy and the rest of the IDiots do.
