There would appear to be an element of PC involved in some posts on this thread, you know the "I want to smack my child for misbehaving, but I don't do it because it's unfashionable and I'm trendy", sort of attitude.
There is no lynch mob mentality, it is in the eye of the beholder, there is instead a growing number of people who's frustration at Shambles is such that they've abandoned their normal tolerant attitude, and given voice to their annoyance. Those that don't have the guts to use their names, or are afraid of losing their street cred, do it as a Guest, others tell it as they see it.
Still doesn't make it a lynch mob in my book.
