It was a slow and rational process.
But that would contradict that accusations often thrust upon The Clinic 12. If a handful of members all agree on the same pieces of information, or adopt a unified perspective on a particular issue, then it's called an Echo Chamber.
If there is dissent within the ranks, with disagreement among usual allies, The Clinic 12 suddenly become hypocrites.
There is no tolerance for "rational" thinking from those who are determined to paint The Clinic as a hive with no means for independent thought. It doesn't suit their agenda if the members here
don't follow blindly in the path of whoever has been given elevated status. Whether it be some public anti-doping crusader or longstanding member of The Clinic itself, there are countless examples of people being called out if their narrative becomes contradictory, or if the "facts" just don't seem to line up.
The Clinic is often chastised for supposed blind allegiance to one party or another, but when the exact opposite is proven to be the case, then The Clinic is deemed to be a directionless mass with no purpose whatsoever.
This is, of course, consistent with the screeching that often takes place whereby The Clinic is scolded for libelous and unwarranted attacks that have the potential to ruin lives and careers, all while being reassured that no one, out there, actually pays any attention to The Clinic whatsoever, and to believe otherwise is delusional.
Make up your mind. Indeed.
