Forums hates

The claim that there is a clique implies that there is some sort of conspiracy - a group that 'meets privately on Tuesday nights to plot the downfall of those who are not worthy' - I think not! Forums just ain't like that.

We have our plotting meets on a Wednesday.
So we aren't part of a clique, we're just pretentious. :P bolt

Sorry Choon lol

:lol: :lol: :lol:
I've seen this so many times and as Davej said it's an eternally evolving thing.
The accusation tends to get levelled at prolific posters and those who are socialising a lot in one form or another at that particular time in forum history.
These people change regularly in the main, and the accusations still get made by those who judge themselves to be on the outskirts of it all, and guess what, they've normally changed as well rolleyes

Bloody newbies............ don't know their arse from their days of the week :P
Now you see when you didn't attend, I just thought you all had started your own up. bolt

For the purpose of this discussion, and to ensure full cliquey pretentiousness, anyone who joined after me is a newbie :P :P :P

Well I tried starting an evening group of my own, but some members got a little miffed when they discovered that I'd only invited other females and suggested we should all go nude.
Not because I'm pretentious but because I'm a pervert. :grin:

To get slightly back on topic I have a load of forum hates, far too many to list, BUT they're also part of the reason I use forums, because they often open up discussions.
They also give me something to vent at and something to laugh at or take the piss out if I'm in that frame of mood.
So does that make them hates or just irritants dunno

Hate: A feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action.
Irritant: A substance that produces an irritation effect when it contacts skin, eyes, nose, or respiratory system.
Do you have trouble breathing whilst reading the forum? Do you bash your nose on your monitor? :dunno:
-------------------------
Ok ok I'll stop it with the stupid stuff. (In this thread anyway.)
I think hate is too strong a word - for me anyway. If I hated something I wouldn't go near it.

Of course there is a clique in the cafe, Ive been a member of SH for a wee while now and have found there is a barrier between newer members and the old guard, I noticed that certain long term members and mods have a habit of clamping down on free thinkers.
It can be very discouraging and in my case its rare i post much in here nowadays for fear of being shot down in flames.
thats just my point of view......

Hmm, I guess as someone who has been a member here longer than anyone else who has contributed to this thread, I qualify as 'old guard'.......................but I am not and have never been part of the clique.
Why?
I dunno. confused

Because I don't do the socials and munches maybe.
Or maybe because I don't post enough.
Who knows.
Who cares!
I will continue to post on threads that spark my interest, wether they be by oldies or newbies.
biggrin

:D :D
are you agreeing that there is a bit of a clique in here?
i happen to think there is.......... if you can call it that.......
and i dont accept that to be a clique it has to be as Tune defines it...... its simply a group of like minded people who congregate in the same place....... no skull-duggery....... just that they share the same general views on things and show their views in the same way...... in this case causticly and sometimes causing upset and alienationyes i think thats a more accurate description of the word clique. I wasnt suggesting that the cafe is the stomping ground of the illuminatae..... :P

OK I'm lost... have we past and present threads here??

I'm not actually sure which bit you're referring to Jaymar, but yes, some of the stuff on page 3 is from another thread - another advantage (or disadvantage for some) is that 'view all posts' in someone's profile allows you to 'research' people's previous posts in the forum wink

Thank you darkfire xx PS. how do you find the 'view all posts' bit?? I'm still learning :notes:

click on the 'profile' tab at the bottom of someone's post - once in profile there's a list down the side of the window near the profile photo - view all posts is the bottom one :thumbup: just click it and it'll bring up all their previous posts up in descending order.
Beware those with more than a handful of posts though, you might be busy a while lol

Sorry I'm being a bit thick here ..... is the last statement a general opinion or specifically about the SH website and a group in particular?

i dont have hates as such, maybe little annoyances.....but id say they were about particular members attitudes, nit picking and self righteousness etc etc etc rather than the actual forum as a whole. i also agree that more people posting would be a good thing, its just sad that people maybe dont feel comfortable posting here for fear of a negative reception, from fellow members and mods/ops.

totally agree there dont post often but have found some people allways take things the wrong way not all but some do me thinks some people look at post,s to see if there is something they can argue about or try and belittle people..........ok nothing wrong in putting forward your point of view but everyone might not agree

One thing I really hate is when people (me included) get all aeriated about a given subject and take it personally.

Gotta say, makes me wonder what they'd be like in real life ... I mean, if someone can't post anonymously for fear of a less than perfect reception in cyberspace ... what hope is there in real life?
Wouldn't wnat to work with anyone like that ... Feck! I'd be spending all my time in front of HR for having upset their feeble feelings! lol

Yes I agree with you there also and I am honest enough to say I can hold my hands up to that at times :grin: , and I also think threads can be like texts... the reader can sometimes read things that the writer may not have said or meant it to have sounded like! if you know what I mean :shock:
