Unlike you Miss Marple, I don't hang around the Free Republic in little cliques, and I choose not to think in political cadence. Instead of thinking in terms of group think, I think for myself here and state my own opinions. I never did like cliques or the people that have a need to belong to one.

Top of the morning to you Missy.

You don't take hints, do you?

Hey Joe ... trying to make friends again I see

We're in agreement there.

What is it with some malcontents and their misguided and misplaced idea of "cliques"?

Just because certain people are drawn to read and discuss certain topics, and some have formed friendships and are simpatico, does not a "clique" make.

You sound juvenile and petty. For the life of me I don't understand this complaint. Especially since those who voice such usually enjoy the company of their own like-minded compadres.

Why don't you try focusing on the issues at hand and stop nursing the pain you suffered in high school when you weren't part of the in crowd?
