I don't know that it is necessary for me to be an ex-member...
I think everybody has a secret desire to be cast out from among their peers, friends, and family, and left to wander alone and destitute. For most people, this desire is too weak to be acted on; other desires contradict it. However, I propose that in order for people to scratch this inner itch, they seek a virtual solution: to be expelled and cast out and forgotten by a virtual community, leaving their other communities intact. In this way, we can enjoy the best of both worlds: to complain of our martyrdom and rejection by the unjust world, and at the same time to have still someone who we can complain too.
