What cliques?

Chico1 said:
I've seen people post a topic, and it gets completely ignored. Yet a more "popular" (lol..gotta love that ) orger post the same damn thing and everyone's on it. So yes that does separate people. Seen posts that were meaningful and heartfelt just fall into the past pages of 'orgdom'...yet 25 posts about [i]pot-smoking-homo-pimps-who measure vaginas-while speeding in their cars dominate the forums. Or times when someone responds to someone's quote and then are completely ignored by the thread starter...but their "buddy" gives a similiar response and is acknowledged. I try to acknowlege every birthday thread I see. Even if I'm not familiar with the that particular orger. Who's to say who's more important. I will admit to ignoring those who ignore me or are just rude for no damn reason.
So there's good and bad when it comes to cliques. If it's a matter of just not interested in a thread..fine. But choosing only to acknowledge people you like and not getting to know someone new (being the fact that they ARE new ) ..well..it's your choice. No battle to be fought here. Just an observation.

Carry on. I'm sure this will be ignored as well. And here's a 2 anyone that needs it!

*Dear God...Please grant me a social life* Amen!

I agree and very well said, especially regarding the "state of threads/posts" lately (yikes!), which are examples of free speech (What happened to civility, respect, and inclusion?)
I love the org...but often feel as though I am on the outside for the very reasons you state...as I've said before it will not keep me away, but some days it sucks. I've learned to post if the topic interests me, no matter who posts...and yes, I have learned to avoid some so as not to cause myself anxiety and get into one of the pissing matches I see so often and or make myself a target ...which ain't pleasant for anyone!

I think cliques are bad...on the whole...how do you grow friendships if by nature cliques are inclusive and exclude others? Just another perspective.

The is leaving now...chew on that chum... Oh I crack myself up!

I really don't understand..... I hit certain threads because their authors are guaranteed to crack me up. I also know a good deal of people in real time so I will also hit those but I will and do talk to anybody.The circles I float in alter constantly. I wonder if those that feel left out make a real effort to contribute.

Or is it just about vagina threads and photoshopping?

Fauxie said:

I don't open vagina sorts of threads and photoshopping is just one silly attribute of this joint. I am all for peeps having fun. It is easy for me to interact. I suppose it is hard for some even here. I encourage them to press through. Enjoy!

But who does one get into those groups of friends? I do see some people struggle a little. There's no doubt we obviously look for people whose threads we usually enjoy. I look at other peoples' threads, but I must admit, I could quite easily overlook a good thread simply because I'm involved in a bit of banter with AB about nothing in particular on one of his threads. I can't remember how I got started in this place. I guess u just be yourself or be something that works (if popularity is what ur about) and see what happens.

I've been pretty oblivious to this fact until recently, but what thesexofit once said is very true--there are definately cliques in the org.

I frequent threads from people I know much more often than those that I don't. And I generally don't post in the ones that I don't.

However, I will beg to differ with some opinions that the cliques seperate people--I actually think they show that friendships are being made.

Another reason it is appearing more cliquish then ever is people are checking threads off their org page so it causes them to see a limited repeat group. I think time in counts here as it does in real time.

I tried to include everybody in my brick-to-the-head thread.

But even then I fear there may be some people out there I missed and who might therefore be under the mistaken impression that I didn't want them to have a brick to the head.

I lay awake nights...

They gang hasn't talked in ages.

Maybe it's just that the gang is talking, but without me.

Somehow I don't think that's by choice.
