DU has too many cliques

[gyopsy]

Does anybody else notice this? We need to form an anti-clique, clique if you know what I mean. Thread posters who post at all threads regardless if the poster is a friend or not.

1. You're just jealous you're not in mine.

But you have to go through the initiation just like everybody else.

2. I have not noticed any cliques .

But I think some people are friendly with each other because they have met each other at " meet ups " and other events .

3. That's my kind of clique..anit clique clique..

I just post if I feel like it anyways. I suppose there are some who talk only to each other, but I don't notice it if they are.

4. You know,

95% of the time when I post I don't even look to see the name of the poster I'm responding to.

Everyone here is kind of an anonymous collective for me.

5. I don't have a "clique".

OK. Yes I do, but they're all assholes, so that doesn't count.

8. Douchebag.

[Blue-Jay]

11. Case in point.

12. You turn into a madman when you've had too much tequila.

And by "too much," I mean "one shot," you fucking wuss.

[Blue-Jay]

16. IT'S ON!

Next time we meet, I will drink you under the table and leave a gelatinous blob in your place.

"He tasks me. He tasks me, and I will have him."

Amateur.

14. Bite me sax boy!

:silly:

[Blue-Jay]

18. OH!

Shots fired!

Were you not so goddamn cool, I'd be a total bastard to you.

In other words, I've got nothing, and I need to take a shower before my gig.

[ronnykmarshall]

19. Need your back scrubbed?

:evilgrin:

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. He needs his back shaved.

:scared:

[ronnykmarshall]

22. LOL!!

Good one.

Maybe we can tie him down and wax him!

[Blue-Jay]

27. My back is as smooth as a baby's butt!

a Yeti-baby, but a baby nevertheless.

[Blue-Jay]

23. I'd *never* turn down a back-scrubbing.

:D

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. But then, that would be a clique.

I mean, yes -- I have a group of friends on DU, people to whom I've grown close. That doesn't mean that I don't want other people talking to me, though.

That's the thing about DU cliques. Sure, they exist. But most of them are not in any sense "closed."

After all, the people I talk with the most were here well before I was. ;)

7. To borrow a phrase, I'm a clique of one

Actually I hadn't noticed any kind of clique thing. I just figured people post in threads they're interested in.

[HEyHEY]

9. Are you suggesting a "Clique genocide" ?

[Amaya]

10. DU has cliques?

I didn't notice.

[Blue-Jay]

13. Sarcasm does NOT become you.

Stick with thongs and "dirty-talk". Those things are always winners.

[nickgutierrez]

25. You, on the other hand, should not stick with thongs and "dirty-talk"

:scared:

[Amaya]

26. Bite me

[liontamer]

15. I post on any thread that interests me

I may post on a thread just to say hi to someone I know, but I don't think that things are overly cliquey. I've never posted on a thread only to have someone say "you can't post here" :shrug:

[miss_kitty]

17. i 'm in the 'cool person clique'

right?

:smoke:

[pagerbear]

20. Uh.....sure.....

[Glenda]

24. I feel left out now *sob*

Whose clique can I join?
