Will one of you swines appreciate my definition of a clique attack fail ffs  I chipped a nail typing that

*cough* oh yeah.....erm....*cough*...good call Karma *cough*.....well done *pats head, gives 50p* Here you go, treat yourself.

50pence?! 50 soddin PENCE? You have seriously got the wrong bird love! I like money that folds, not rattles.

Incredibly, Karma has accidentally got something right. Massive FAIL on all clique accusations for reasons she has outlined in her excellent synopsis .

but the £1 note was discontinued in 1986.

And to return that beautifully crafted back-handed compliment, Promeeefeus, I present you with this;

But it wasn't useless. We broke one of your nails 

Rawky

Whats that?....

something we will all be using shortly stonks after the latest govt cuts.

Are you starting an Anti-Prom clique?

Hmmnnnn...I smell smugness......psssssssstttts,

Do you actually have anything to say? I'd love to hear it. You keep popping in and out of lots of threads making snide remarks but don't seem to have an opinion of your own.

Just wondering like...

I post where and when I like,so  carry on..I have opinions,I'll post them when I see fit.

I wasn't aware that it had to be that organised/deliberate..... isn't it just a group of people who get along/ are largely of like mind, (commonly referred to as 'friends') from which some feel excluded?

I am sort of sober again - albeit hungover...
Can I just ask one question?
If we disagree with PP does that then mean we are in a clique?
Cos that is what I have gleaned from all this...

well thats the game isadora, but between me and you shes not real

Crikey, looks like I fell asleep way too early last night, what a bad clique member I am!

I don't always agree with people's opinions, but I do respect them, and know when i should keep my trumpet nicely shut, therefore avoiding arguments.. I just like a bit of lighthearted forum banter to compliment my cheery days.



I wanna C-O-O-L  R-I-D-E-R..

There's a difference in friends disagreeing with a poster and targeted attacks where a group of people purposely go out to bait or try to rile someone up just for the hell of it (but they don't like it when it happens to them ).

But your description is right in that others could see that as a clique. The thing is there will always be people you don't like on the net and there will be others you make a connection with and get to know. There's bugger all wrong with that and it's human nature?. It's when the group only appear to make snidey comments and defend their mates in arguments that have frig all to do with them that it becomes an issue. (Well, to me anyway!)

I agree Karma there is no harm being in a clique it is only when that clique gang up on someone or belittle them just because their friend is having a heated debate..

We get along with some people better than others. That's human nature.
It is group dynamics. Those we relate to most would perhaps be called a group (or a clique.)
Unfortunately the word "clique" can be used pejoratively and negatively - invariably by people who are not particularly members of that group.
I don't feel envious of any particular group (or clique.)
It's simply that we all relate to some people better than others. We cannot have things in common with everyone.
However I simply don't see why any particular group (or clique) should be regarded as some sort of enemy.
We all form little groups naturally; you only need to watch Big Brother to see that.
Except, of course, those of us who are so unique and individual that we stand head and shoulders above any group. 

(To tell you the truth I'm getting a bit bored of the word “clique” now.)

Ooops I seem to have covered some of the same ground as Super,  Karma and Marguerita.
Serves me right for not reading their posts before I wrote mine (which I invariably do normally.)

I'm a unique individual, and I like sushi

Oh, maybe that's why they have initiated me into the pink ladies yet..

I don't really wanna eat hamburgers tho

Etymology traces clique to 15th century France.  It was clichéd before Chaucer popped his clogs. 

*looks down nose at assembled plebs.....walks into door through lack of looking where I  was going*....Can I join despite that?

I won't join.. but I can observe from a distance and do this   if ya like

and that is exactly what happens on this forum - and I have to note that a number of the people on here tryng to deny it exists are the main offenders. (and before you all start having a go I am not saying everyone who says is doesn't exist is a perpertrator - just a handful of people)

Wish I was a panto villain.

Maybe I am   

pretty_p  hope it's going okay   

Can't complain (well I could but I'm not going to) thanks - yourself??

 Not bad
