Picture a cop, or cops, accused of grievous misconduct.
Picture a circle of forum members sympathetic to them forming a wall around them.
Picture other forum members outraged by the event as reported, and posting comments to that effect.Some say their piece and move on. Others hang around, because:
Those forming the wall around the cops respond to EVERY post made which is critical of the cops. So... the thread goes on and on.
You had the option of saying your piece and moving on, not identifying with either group.
Instead, you chose to hang around and participate, identifying with those OUTSIDE the wall.
Now, it appears you have joined the wall. Nothing wrong with changing sides, but nothing wrong with someone calling attention to it, either.
