What group think is that. Picture yourself in a crowded room. You're talking
in a loud voice, because it's noisy, and you use that phrase. Do you think
that it would be group think to imagine that it might be offensive to a good
percentage of the people in the room? Let's say it's a room full of lawyers.

There is nothing wrong with a modicum of sensitivity to
your fellow man.

No dispute about that. I suggest that individual sensitivity to one's
fellow
man is far preferable to groupthink of the type Jon seems to propose. I
find
it unfortunate that increasingly a rule-based "there oughta be a law"
approach is replacing other social controls such as learned individual
sensitivity.

Absolutely!
