You just did what you accused me of doing. I wasn't saying there is never any point in going with the flow. I was just highlighting that there is wisdom in not following the crowd all the time as long as you're both contrarian and right.

I think their accusation was fair: The comment you replied to wasn't arguing for "following the crowd all the time", so "So you want to be lemmings running off the cliff" was attacking something they didn't say.

    I don't see how else the "so you want to be lemmings" makes sense. And from the flags I assume others also thought that was the obvious reading.
