The intelligence (cognitive and emotional) of a mob tends to be, at best, the average intelligence of the members divided by the size of the mob. Yeah, packthink can get very scary, very fast... turns into lynchmobbery before you know it. :(

Heinlein said the lowest IQ there divided by the number.

I have a feeling that there's more to this story ... and the Kristle needs counseling, very badly.

I don't know whether (for different reasons) i'd say Monica, Bud or Shelly.

Or Phix.

Phix has the experience of having been a worse monster than Kristle likely was (or could have been); she might be the go-to for an initial evaluation and assignment...
