Happy Thanksgiving!


I agree with Chat being so "yesterday". I often found myself lost in the shuffle because of not being as witty as others...But it would probably be good for some. I'd probably pop in and say "hey" but not much more than that. I've been on boards where the chat is once a week at 9PM. I think it's a great way to introduce yourself! Speaking of which...an introduction area maybe?

I don't believe there are cliques. I think it's just as Lisa stated. Paraphrasing, "We have found people like ourselves". And those who are not like us we still tolerate and accept...most times. There are times when there is a controversial lyric on the board that many seem to attack. But I've found it depends who wrote the lyric...that is the only cliquish example that I have seen. The ones that get chased off from the board are the ones that "I" find are like me and therefore I find it very difficult to make friends because of my core values not matching many on here...but I still tolerate, I still care and I accept most people for their own belief system.

Those are the only issues that I see with grouping up with "like minded" people...the badgering of certain people for their views and not badgering friends when they have similar views.

That's my take on it. If anything can be done it should be to stop fighting with new people who don't even know us yet and give them a chance. If you don't like their views then leave the critiquing for someone who can help them instead of chasing them away.

Brian has enough sense to oust people out if it goes against policy or if something turns out threatening. But freedom of speech, in my opinion, should prevail. Maybe there should be a rule that in every title of a posting that could be offensive that it is stated as such so that we can avoid reading something that might set us off?
