What is even sadder, and possibly even more shallow, is how the group dynamic
suddenly changed from the 'ignoring treatment' of Marc van Hal, to a number of
supposedly sympathetic advices; whilst simultaneously creating a new victim for
Group attack in the form of Co(hat)me. The secret of being 'in' the Group
appears to be a follow-my-leader process in knowing who to make the next victim.
