Clique? Exclusive club?

It's this assumption that makes me angry, because there is no evidence - there could never be any - that it happens.

It's what I was talking about it above. It is corrosive.

Evidence!? It's all on instinct!

The Enlightenment has much to answer for!

Don't be angry, Jean. There's no real evidence, of course, but we've been here quite a while now and there have been threads over the years where the same people have popped up one after another to attack/defend that I've wondered. I agree it's all circumstantial, and I may be quite wrong, and it may never have happened - but I did say "probably"! It doesn't really matter, anyway. Whether it has ever happened or not, the rest of my post stands.

PS I once got a private email from a boarder some time ago to tell me about a thread where he felt unhappy about the attacks on him. He wondered if I would go along and see if I could support his views. I didn't, at least not immediately, as I wasn't at home and got the email on my blackberry - but it just shows that it's easily possible.

I expect it's probably better largely to ignore the politics side on here if you are centre or right,.

Sorry about that ....... but i'm sure you meant something slightly different ?
but welcome back Simon ....... cheers

Thanks GG. I meant right in the sense of right, and not of correct, of course. Though of course the two may well at times, er... grin.

btw I thought we weren't supposed to use smileys. ff told me not to.

I've always hated cliques and I've never wanted to be part of one. A club is not a clique unless it deliberately excludes others.

I don't think FoR3 Forum is a clique.

The way some forum members treat one another is a different issue...
