Any member of a social group who will only accept the pre-approved opinions of the group as their own. Consistent cycles of recruitment, confirmation, acceptance, and denial govern their daily lives. They manufacture truth through repetition and free & independent thought makes them furiously angry.
They commonly share a penchant for attempting to solidify their suppositions, which they’ve just received from Talk Radio, by making random announcements. It is believed that this technique both spreads newly acquired opinions more rapidly and tests the immediate surroundings for possible recruits.
A gregarian will very evangelistically espouse Talk Radio, usually way too loudly, in order to affirm their absolute loyalty. Especially if a fellow gregarian is nearby. And even louder still, both in announcement and Talk Radio volume, if the near by gregarian ranks higher in social status.

From the word gregarious "living in contiguous nests but not forming a true colony".
In the post MySpace era, where user blogs are the new web page, there will be all these small colonies of users with similar interests congregate but basically form clicks rather than communities.

Gregarian Societies are people who form clicks or groups around similar interests within forums or social networking sites. These can be seen in a Bands friends list, or TV Show's profile on a social network like MySpace or Facebook, and also in MeetUp groups.
Smaller groups or subgroups of like minded people in online communities or social networking sites.
If you were at a Band's/TV show's MySpace profile and you were viewing the band's friends, the group of friends/fans of that band are a Gregarian Society.
