One can hardly help but fit in somewhere. Every thesis has its antithesis, and one cannot reject both, or even find a viable third way, without risking conforming to some group or other.

It wasn't quite the fact that by doing any action that you are conformed to a group simply because they do similar things, but the concept that you cannot be comfortable except for in a group where you are conformed to the other members that I was disagreeing with.

Indeed. I had missed your point. You are quite right.
