Good point. The presentation goes out of its way to exploit an
emotional response from the viewer. What bothers me is the author's
comments about his effectively joining the group. They accepted him.
Did he accept them? Possible because of certain comments he made that
led me to believe that he found something there to his liking. But
unfortunately, the image selection never provided the balance which
would have helped defne the actual character of the group.
