BS: Clique This, Then

From: wysiwyg

There has been some discussion and some talk that is not quite discussion about percived clique-i-ness at the Mudcat.

I offer myself in response.

Here we go. If there is anyone who actually feels excluded and would like to change that, I invite them to e-mail me for ongoing discussion, and I offer my own friendship as a starting point. And I can give references and samples of letters. I am a good friend when people care to get real.

I can love your socks off, and back on. Love you to pieces and back again. Endless supply.

If people don't have the courage to explore that, then I say they owe five bucks for any further whining.

PS-- And BTW, no efforts to save your soul either-- not my thing. You want to be saved, you'll have to drag it out of me. Oh I talk about my spiritual life. Just like my non-Christian friends talk about their interests and experiences. Just part of my life, see?

Once I was happy but now I am not
Now I am lonesome, not feeling so hot
Once I had many friends, and the laughter did ring
But now I am only a blue clique-y thing

Blue clique-y, blue clique-y, blue clique-y thing
Turned my back on old friends and I gave 'em the sting
I thought I'd done better, and left my old ring
And now I have nothing but this blue clique-y thing.

McGrath, finish this for me, wouldja? I stole it from you in the first place!

Regards,

A

Praise,
What are we to make of this? Either there really are no hard feelings about cliques, real or imaginery(sp.). Or no one wants to be in your clique. Or are you being deluged with PMs from the rejected masses?

Hey Guys,

I stumbled in here a little while ago and I do not feel excluded. Hell, even 'spaw took a shot at me. Admittedly it was somewhat weak but I'm assuming he was just being nice to the new kid. I am enjoying "being here" and I hope that you guys are not yet annoyed with me.

By the way, I think everyone is feeling and acting a little defensive when it really isn't necessary. The clique talk is only trolls making trouble.

I vist here monthly and post maybe yearly. I love this place and am glad it's here. I know nothing about no cliques and care less. The beauty of lurking, I suppose.

You girls! I am NOT starting a clique! (An all-girl Mudcat band or singing group has been discussed, and applications are welcome. Only wild women need apply. (As I am sure you know, wild women don't worry; wild women don't get the blues.)

However I have received two really delightful e-mails from people I am pleased to call new friends.

More would be fine, but I will be out of town for a couple of weeks so they'll have to have some degree of patience!

Naemanson: if you stay away from the controversial threads (read politics and religion) you will rarely get dumped on. Some of us members are pretty opinionated when it comes to either of those subjects. USUALLY, however, even though there be disagreement, there is a mutual respect for the other's opinion.

Spaw picks on everybody when he's amind to.

Ok, girls, let's start our own clique ... wild wimmen and those who wanna be wild. But ... let's invite the boys cuz it's a lot more fun to be wild when there's boys around. We'll wait until Susan returns from vacation, since she's the one who started this!!!! We can have a prez, vice prez, sexetary, and a joker (any of you boys can apply). We'll discuss relevant matters like ... well, whatever matters will be relevant.
