Let me try to explain my perspective on this to you.


Number one - how long do we all have to look forward to this endless collective whining about all of your (not directed entirely at you, belladonna) perceived "whining" about cliques? One week? Two? A month?

How many threads are going to be started baiting someone into answering, so everyone can then start mocking the person who calls it like they see it as "lonely", "not able to fit in", "paranoid", "in need of a GRIP", "socially inept" , etc? CLUE: just because people are sick of this behavior doesn't mean they feel secretly left out and pouty. Turning it back around on them to try and make it into their emotional problem doesn't make it so, either. Even though you guys are the ones getting the most grease - there are plenty of others that see it like I do, and aren't speaking up. Another CLUE: endless threads about "cliques" are mocking other members, their opinions, and are nothing but flame bait. You all know this - which is why you find it so FUN. You continue to push the envelope, and you find yourselves quite clever. Then when one of you gets banned for continual flaunting of the rules, you whine. Those rules aren't meant for YOU....right?

More amusing is the posters that then start projecting their behavior onto others - berating them for being "mean", posting flamebait, not using the ingore button - etc. It's transparent, and it's STUPID.


I don't give a DAMN who is friends with who here, nor do I care who talks to who. Guess what? I don't know anyone who DOES. Get over yourselves!

From what I can tell - the "elite" comments were not made because anyone on this forum actually BELIEVES there's an elite it. It seemed to me that it was commentary regarding certain groups that are legends - in their OWN minds. The "elite" needs to stop flattering themselves. I didn't see it meant as a compliment.

Personally - I have no dog in this fight other than honesty, fairness, and justice. I'm sick of seeing people shit on here - and I don't really give a fuck WHAT any of you tries to project onto me for having the balls to say so. I kept quiet for a LONG time - and finally stopped holding my tongue when NotMyPrez got shit all over for baring her soul in a post asking for some respect as a DUer when it came to her faith. You guys took that and ran with it - and it was almost a month before you finally let that go. It was CRUEL, it was RUDE, and it was beneath contempt.


Belladonna - this is not entirely directed at you, even though your post finally prompted me to type something.


And FOR THE RECORD - to those of you that are pissing me the FUCK off with this bullshit - I would be equally disgusted by the same treatment being directed towards you, and I'd say something then too. I don't hold grudges, and I want no hard feelings. I just want to see this bs come to an end.
