Nothing personal Ivan, it's just that historically the C word has been misused so often. The attitude of some people seemed to be that if a group of people have developed some kind of online relationship then they are, by default, a clique. This has always annoyed me because cliques are hostile and exist for the sole purpose of excluding 'outsiders'. The only way a clique could operate on CC would be for that group to conspire to shut down threads started by non-members and to either ignore or harass non-members. I hope you would agree that this simply does not happen here and never did on C+."Ivancarlos" said:
I may not be aware of all the in-jokes amongst the various sub-groups on here but I don't assume that the people making them are doing so just to exclude me. I left the old forum for a year, coming back just before the BR debacle kicked off, and I'm having to start again. Most of the people I had developed friendships with on C+ went to ACF. A lot of the people on here (but by no means all) started on C+ after I left, so I'm a stranger to them. But again, I don't assume they are a 'clique', I just accept that I have to be patient and develop new friendships.
As for the subject at hand, the baiting of Bonj, well it may seem a tad cruel but it's teasing rather than hostility. Bonj may have acquired a bit of a fan club but he is most certainly part of this community and I don't think even his most ardent critic (hello Mr Paul!) would deny that.
Sorry if I'm ranting, it's just that the C word annoys me quite a lot. Like I said, it's not personal.

Yes, I'm belatedly realising that the best thing is to regard him as a parody of himself...
But when someone says something daft, I just can't help trying to correct them, I just can't!

none of the inner circle of mods is aware of any clique
seriously, the more you get involved with this place, the more involved you'll feel.

Sooner or later, that clown will attempt to offend you. Therefore it's fair game for anyone to give him pelters.

Dear god no. You are a veritable pool of calm tranquility compared to that nasty twerp.

Could you PM me with your evidence? I really do want to know, I'm not trying to prove you're wrong or anything.bonj said:
