Cannot let this one slide. Let's look at the definition of a "lemming"...

What does it mean to call someone a lemming?
A person who follows the will of others, especially in a mass movement, and heads straight into a situation or circumstance that is dangerous, stupid, or destructive: These lemmings that eat up conspiracy theories are so blinded by lies, they don't even see the cliff they're about to plummet over.

I would argue that definition applies flawlessly to the hypnotized/addicted TPG apologists.

To each their own, I suppose. I view the ignorant forum posters on Blowout who know nothing at all about grading cards, yet still launch criticisms at the TPGs for not catching trimmed edges as lemmings. These people would do no better than a monkey picking bananas at identifying trimmed cards if handed a stack for grading. But they read how easy it is on some forum, so they all just parrot the same information. Lemmings.
