Woodpecke® | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 04:59 pm     Thanks Hukdonreality, I can almost see your eyes rolling back in your head. Ha!  |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:02 pm     Hukdonreality said "I think that if you post, you should expect a response of some sort. If you aren't willing to allow others to speak their minds in return unless they agree fully with you, then don't post at all." I totally agree! I have no problems, as do many others, that there is a perceived clique. I don't see it as a clique at all, but as posters who've known each other for quite some time and are therefore, familiar and joke with each other. I don't think they're being "exclusive", but rather just being very familiar with those they know. As to Hukd's quote up there...I am in total agreement with that part. If someone posts an opinion, they should be prepared for a response, whether it agrees with them or not....and if it doesn't agree with their post, to at least not slam them for it. |
Bbwannab | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:07 pm     Amalted...I agree with your article 90%, It had almost everything I wanted to say. |
Chippy | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:40 pm     Having read Woodpecker and Seamonkey posts over a long period of time, I can't imagine them purposefully making light of another poster's opinion although I see how that could be mistaken from someone who hasn't. That make any sense? LOL |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 05:44 pm     No. I don't see it. I was commenting on the author and the author alone. And the fact that his ramblings could actually make it onto this page. That's it. By the way, there still isn't a clique. We may need to start one soon.  |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 06:35 pm     Why are peoples still worried about a clique anyway? I'm thinking...what does it matter either way? |
Chippy | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 06:51 pm     Ok, Wood, there's no clique and you didn't disparage a poster's feelings, even inadvertently. Everyone who thinks there is a clique, even if it doesn't matter to them in the least, is mistaken. Nuf said. |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:02 pm     I'm thinking...if there is a clique it DOES matter to those who want to be in it...but if one does NOT want to be in it, then it's a non-problem. Indifference is not always a bad thing...sometimes knowing when to be indifferent is important to one's self-esteem. The thing is, "if" there is a clique and they are being "exclusive", then it's their loss because they would be missing out on all those other viewpoints. Their loss, someone else's gain....simple as that. |
Zachsmom | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:06 pm     I'm my own clique only because no one else wanted to join and no one else would have me |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:07 pm     Yay Zachsmom! |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:09 pm     I'm by myself too just 'cause I irritate the heck out of everyone else...I tend to take the opposite view of most people just for the sake of arguing...a lot of times not even because I believe in that view, just because I like to argue. |
Zachsmom | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:11 pm     You do so believe in that view Canga!  |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:13 pm     An irony here...in high school it was all the jocks or the "beautiful people" in cliques...and the nerds and geeks in another group. Am I the only one to see the irony in there being a bunch of computer geeks here talking of other geeks being in cliques? Oops...my oops...don't want to be prejudiced against geeks by disparaging them in any way... I'm so twisted...never mind. |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:14 pm     Zachsmom...thanks for seeing my view...now I have to change sides.... |
Zachsmom | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:15 pm     LOL! |
Woodpecke® | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:36 pm     I'm not a computer geek. Now shut up, I have more sh*t to say and people I'll never see to chat with.  |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:43 pm     LOL...good one! |
Zachsmom | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:43 pm     I am not a computer geek either..I'm a nerd thankyouverymuch As to get on topic, I didn't read the whole article. While I don't think this was the best BB, I did enjoy watching the shows. I thought the shows were put together nicely and if I only watched the shows I would have to say this was a good year. I don't enjoy hearing the F-word every other word, so I didn't watch the live feeds much this year. After Jack left I didn't care who won. He was the only one I was rooting for. I was glad Jun won over Ali though. |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:45 pm     HAY HAY HAY....Wood told me to shut up...how rude and un-PC like...oh wait...I think in a different thread I didn't particularly agree with being PC...I suppose I do need to shut up. |
Cangaroo | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 07:46 pm     I agree eith Zachsmom (can ya believe that?), only I did sit and read the whole article and wished I had spent my time reading the archives instead. |
Monalisahi | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 08:19 pm     Cliques again? Honestly, I don't think I've seen or heard of a clique since high school. |
Hukdonreality | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 08:58 pm     I'm going to develop my own clique. If you want to join, you will have to: 1. think that pharts are phunny 2. believe that chocolate is a separate food group 3. wish that everyone just could get along (no, wait, that's the Miss America contestants clique) 4. think that squeeze cheese in a can is REAL cheese 5. be willing to add to this list! Dues are only two easy payments of $19.95. Please send cash only. You will get a neat certificate to hang on your wall, a secret decoder ring (you will receive directions about this one), and instructions for the secret handshake. Be cool, have fun, join today! |
Magicjet | Monday, September 29, 2003 - 09:04 pm     I still think the article was moralistic and full of hot air. What are people like that watching BB for anyway? Oh I know, so they can feel superior. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 03:08 am     STEVEH! Thanks for explaining how to get the article! I don't know how, since I read everything here, but I hadn't seen it, and now I can add myself to those who are "moralistic and full of hot air", and need to "feel superior" because I agreed with a lot of it. Bite me! I'll join your clique, Hukdonreality, and my addition to your membership criteria list is: 6. Be willing to giggle when people make scatalogical jokes, because they ARE funny. (My cheque is in the mail, I'm not THAT gullible!) |
Bbwannab | Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 05:31 am     I logged on this morning to catch up on nothing I'm missing.... All you guys,...are so funny. Your widdle talks , right now, are more interesting to read, then the live feeds were. *LOL* Thank you, for being so crazy!!! |
