In the natural order of things, we as humans seek safety in numbers; such provides for survival, despite that it does tend to dampen individual thinking. 

And so, we have rooms filled with those of like minds, perhaps people drawn to such room because the leader proclaims his belief of Gor as 1, 2 and 3 with no ifs ands or butts.  Some people may have similar ideals, others simply think, “man this fellow has his shit together” and then others who simply look to the numbers in the room and decide well something must be right, and it looks safe.

Without room to debate, because the leader of the room has already decided that Gor is his way, rather than more in accordance with what John Norman has provided, to deviate that line of thinking, to offer your own individual opinion and suggestions, is to ultimately divide you; you against him, or them, however you want to view it.  Each individual who raises their hand and questions eventually breaks off and seeks to find that place that will allow them to ask questions.

I remember the church I was raised in and when I got older and braver and started questioning specific doctrine of that church (not of Christianity, per se, but the particular belief of that sect), I was met with a mix of reactions; some favorable, and a lot of wide shocked faces.  Who knew inside that shy dutiful girl laid a mind ticking away at all the inconsistencies and then daring to question.  -chuckles-  Ah, good times. 

Comparatively, that questioning girl left that sect as much as the questioning girl left a home on Gor under quite similar conditions. 

And comparatively, that questioning girl has since enjoyed many a conversation with others within the Christian faith, but of different sects, sharing and exploring the differences of philosophical opinion, just as that questioning girl had enjoyed many a conversation with others in the Gorean community about the differences of opinion about Gor.  On occasion, that girl is met with those that take the stance that their opinion (be it of religion, Gor, et al)  is the sole correct and absolute opinion; kind of sad really when you think about it.

Gorean Leaders, those rulers of a chat room, are nobody special. They are human. They are infallible. They do not know everything.
