If this was a group in a field, I believe this would be an individual being yelled at by a newly formed tribe, banded together in a common belief. This situation of course is much calmer and more civilized, but the disagreement with the concept is obvious.

It is an especially idealistic view, and history doesn't suggest that it can work, but the same could've been said for the airplane at one time...
If everybody gives up on the idea, though, it will never be achieved.
