I am not aware of any 'clique..' And I have no idea who people are referring to (on this thread and in 'PMs') . I feel relatively OK on the whole here, as most people are pretty friendly... but it's taken a long time, and I have had it rough on here at times, as there are a few people who don't like me. (That is fine actually, because there are several people who I don't like either, and those people are the ones I don't respond to, and I post 'around..')
Maybe I say things I shouldn't now and again, or that may offend some, but no more than some others on here... I have noticed also, that sometimes *I* say a certain thing, and I am jumped on, but when someone else says the same kind of thing; people make a joke out of it when they say it. There has been a very strong and obvious example of that this past week: I said something (about a week ago,) which several people jumped on me for, and then a few days later, another poster did EXACTLY the same thing, and nobody said anything to her. I expect they will say that they never noticed it. (conveniently.)
This happens to me quite often in here. I have learned to ignore it, but the double standards piss me off. It seems to be the same few posters that jump on me as well, and make snide remarks, and I have noticed that these few posters always agree with each other.
