Ah Yes, the good old accyweb clique, from what I've heard even those that are part of it don't know that they are.

So exclusive, it is even rumoured that the admin' applied for membership and has been blackballed three times.

There isn't and there never has been an accyweb clique, only people like you that think it unfair that you can't join.

Shhh, its much more fun when people think there is one.

To be fair, the karma system, especially the unsigned negative does my head in. If it was a valid point, fair enough, but not just random statements. I have never given bad karma, because at the end of the day, if i have something to say, I do just say it, but I also try to appreciate that people have different opinions. Just because we dont have the same, doesnt mean they deserve bad karma.

JB- you do come across really badly sometimes. To be truthful, I think if you posted your thought with a little more sensitivity, people would be more receptive to your thoughts. Am sending karma cos i agree with the principle behind your ideas on karma, just wish you'd learnt to bite ya tongue, count to ten and then post sometimes lol

Less, I think its does depend on what you class a clique. Obviously there are members of the forum here, that have been speaking for years, know each other personally and so on

I'm not saying you have a secret handshake or initiation tests, but are more close obviously) than other members.

If you wanted anymore proof on this, i think the split chatroom a bit ago kinda showed what i mean?

I think clique is maybe the wrong word, as it implies a negativity, but more groups of people that are like minded lol

Yes there are members that have known each other for years through the site, but if that is the only basis you have for calling them a clique then jambutty must be a star member of it he's been on here for years.

From what I understand, the split chatroom was due to the fact that one member was being disruptive every time he/she went in, so the regulars tried to avoid him/her.

Yes, clique is the wrong word, it is the word bandied about by people that feel they are being left out.

In that case I am a member of the clique, you, are a member of the clique, everyone on here is a member of the clique.

The like mindedness is that we are all members of accyweb and most want to feel part of that community.

Hold up a minute Less

I didnt mean it was a negative thing. I think I clearly stated that. If you stick a group of people in one place, then there are obviously going to be people that have more in common than other people and so on. There are also going to be people that you really have nothing in common with and do not want to talk to.

We could also say we are like minded because we breathe air.

All I was trying to say was that, yes there are seperate groups on here, that can be defined by political views, age, gender etc.

The majority of members will still listen to someones views no matter what.

Dont really appreciate you ripping my post to threads when I tried my best to put my opinion across as 'sensitively' as possible

I wasn't ripping it apart, I was answering each relevant point and certainly not having a go at you.

I was stating that we all have a common bond.

I thiink that means Less is always right............Sometimes?

onlyme · 17-06-2008, 10:20

God yeah, course we all do.

And besides that, if we all had the same opinions, life would be extremely boring.

To be honest, the 'nice' threads on here are good, but ya gotta love some of the nastier ones lol. One if the reasons I visit the site so often is because you can be guarenteed a good healthy debate, sometimes it does get a bit 'lively' but overall its superb.

I guess, thats my (very minor) problem with the karma system, you can get knocked for having your own opinion. I dont expect people to agree with me on everything but i dont think you should get negative karma for an opinion, only if its expressed in the wrong way.

And apologies, it felt that was what you were doing.

Guess thats the problem with the internet, makes it hard to judge tone etc and some things can be taken the wrong way
