Mob mentality is pretty disgusting to me, so I avoid mobs whenever possible.

Maybe I'm crazy, but me cheering from the stands had little (no) impact on the outcome, so probably not entitled to be part of the celebration.
I'm 37, so maybe I'm just old. But the idea never appealed to me at 27 or 17 either.
Actually, I know I'm old, because I'm agreeing with some of what Jon is saying, though not necessarily to such an extreme degree.
