VN Cliques???

[costargh]

Do cliques exist on VN?

[perfectscore]

i think they exist everywhere!

There was a thread about forum personalities... but that isn't quite the same thing.

[costargh]

It's just very hard to associate cliques with people on an online forum... I sorta have an idea of the cliques on here but want to know what other people think before I have a say

There is certainly a rough divide between people who do the maths/science versus those who do not.

excuse my ignorance, but what is a 'clique'?

Agreed... I think there is also a bit more going deeper but still waiting

It's not that simple. I'm guessing you believe this because you notice possible in-jokes and personal bonds all over the place, but it is not merely the "IRC group" and the others.

If some of the people, who you suspect are members of this "IRC group" (chat), are talking like they are 'cooler' than the others, then - even though I am a frequent at the IRC channel - I certainly do not engage in this kind of belief, and hence I am in a separate clique from the one you may be thinking of. This contradicts your suggestion

google definition: A clique  is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, or patterns of behavior....

example: In High School Musical (the production I was in ) there are the jocks, brainiacs, thespians, skaterdudes etc

Before I get slammed for making an OPINION.
I think that I have to make sure that it's clear that it is ONLY AN OPINION, don't have a little hissy fit over it.

At the risk of sounding like an abusive euphuist, I will attempt to humbly set forth a brief précis of Bucket's most cacodemonic insinuations in hopes of convincing you, the reader, to help eschew piteous moral relativism. I will start this discussion by arguing that Bucket's undoubtedly speaking through his hat when he says that the world can be happy only when his flock is given full rein. Then, I will present evidence that you don't need to be a rocket scientist to detect the subtext of this post. But just in case it's too subliminal for some, let me thrust it into your face right here: I am not predicting anything specific. Based on several things that are happening now, Bucket will till the self-aggrandizing side of the unilateralism garden sooner than you think. Unfortunately, I can already see the response to this post. Someone, possibly Bucket himself or one of his serfs, will write a stultiloquent piece about how utterly balmy I am. If that's the case, then so be it. What I just wrote sorely needed to be written.

i mean, lol

My brain started hurting after trying to make sense of that.

Uh. Yeah. I'm from the 'I try really hard to be relevant in my posts' clique.
