    It makes then feel better; massages their fragile egos and comforts their insecurities.

    So united they find it easier to keep believing in what/whom they believe. Individually they're not so sure?  Hmmm. Thank you for your reply Durdle and Happy Monday! :)

    That's a thought. It's possible, for some of them anyway, and may be why some are so aggressively touchy about their views when challenged on their own.  

    I noticed this on EP when I asked one or two of those who liked to think they are wolves, why they do - hardly a controversial topic. They were snappier than Jack Russell terriers, let alone big wild dogs!

    Sometimes you can spot their weak points, and they don't like that!
