They just want to believe whatever they want to believe, and then be able to express that out-loud and have no one disagree (which to them is harshness and being mean-spirited, no matter how it's expressed). Or if there's infighting on the board, they want to step in with a "everyone should just stop!" and that the other primitives read it and say "Oh, that's the one primitive we should all look up to and listen, they're so smart."
Bunch of wanna be Indians who think they're all chiefs.
