It is possible something like this will happen to me. However, there seems to be
a correlation between doing something very unpopular and 'lynchings'. I think
that in 99% of all cases the rational way to behave is also popular. As a
result, my odds of being 'lynched' are not too high, as long as I keep doing
rational things.
