Request: MrHand, how about clarifying "coriolis"... my only limited point of reference is gravity.

Wiki actually has a pretty good coriolis page. However, the best explanation I know is via a direct example. Recall your days on the merry-go-round. Imagine it spinning rapidly. Try to walk from the center to the outside without holding on to the rails. You will end up walking along an arc rather than a straight line.

A:
1) Most arguments are dominated by he who shouts loudest.
2) All people, at some point, have their rational side overcome by their emotional side. In general, most people have a low threshold for this which is evident in the phenomenon that you have asked about. Further, "mob posting" exacerbates this phenomenon.
