You will of course know that one step on the road to fascism is the dehumanisation of the other, often labelling them as an animal. So maybe stop calling people sheep. Besides being a mischaracterisation of the contributers to this board, it is also rude.

I don’t think calling people sheep is to that extent it’s a figure of speech, but take it to that extreme if it suites.

I know you are only using it as a figure of speech, but maybe don't be so keen to paint contributors to the discussion in such broad strokes.

Its because Gazza is right and everyone else on the forum is sheep and are ganging up on the perpetual victim. In his mind anyway. He can't see that his views are genuinely nonsense or entirely unintelligible.
