Syd, I am so glad you're not going anywhere, and that you're continuing to post. I don't know what's happened, or who accused you of something, but whatever it is, I am sorry if you felt bad.. This does happen on here from time to time; I reckon most people here have had a time when someone has had a go at them. Don't be driven away by anyone Syd.. On the whole, it's great here, and most people here are lovely and are a good laugh.
I must say though, that I don't really think there are any cliques on here. I noticed sometimes a few people will stick together on something, but it is rare. I just post my views and opinions now, and if I feel a conversation with someone else is getting out of hand; I will just say 'agree to differ' or leave the thread. It is rare though and most people are nice.
Agree, after the sadness of Brisket, that life is too short.
Maybe everyone should bury any differences they have on here, and just be friends now.
