I have some thoughts for you, but I want to hear more first...

What is your definition of "cliquey"? Yes there are people here who have become friends and post to one another. Is that "cliquey", some folks don't get along. Sounds like life, I guess life must be "cliquey". What is the point of the observation? Are you going to do anything with the data?
And you fully well know that "cliquey" can be considered a "loaded" word with value judgment applied. You also fully well know that it will possibly bring up discussion, even debate. I don't know if you wanted to start a problem, but you knew it is a possibility, but for what?
Again, what is the purpose of your observation? To compare it with other recovery boards? For attention? What? You just joined and the first thing you post is how "cliquey" something is? If that is your observation, why bother being at a place that is "cliquey"? Not good for recovery, if that is what you are here for.
You have the right to post whatever you want, I am just curious as to why one would bother being at a "cliquey" place.

Yea... I'm curious too. Actually I ditto every single word Elim said...
I have been here since Nov. 05' and have made some wonderful friends that have literally SAVED MY LIFE. If that's cliquey, then SO BE IT!
I do know however that when there is someone coming here that is new (or not) and is HURTING that EVERYONE is concerned and will do everything they can to help that person, close friends or not... and that's what matters.

Now I tend to have a cynical side and I also tend to, without proper available data, attribute rather negative motivations to people. Its just that the statement, without any specific examples given, looked almost, "trollesque". If this poster continues posting, elucidating on why they have made this hypothesis, then I can understand. If not, I consider the post a...."hit and run posting".

Stacey and Elim, I just want to point out that Slave is not a new poster, I believe that she/he used to post as Slavefor7(?)years.
And I agree with you both.

Slave, I think it's very important that you take the time to post your thought. Else, people might think you said that just to start s***...? But I will give you the benefit of the doubt (for now).

Slave,
I responded to your initial post, as did others. And yet you never came back to that thread.

Did the board disappoint you in some way? We can't help you if we don't know who you are and what you're dealing with. One post will not give us the whole story. The more you can tell us, the better folks here will be able to help you.
Regards,
Gina

Okay, now I have to apologize to the other person, I guess I got the names confused. Please accept my heartfelt apologies for being stupid.

You are not stupid, you just made a hypothesis on incomplete data. The data on this poster is, at present, very sparse.

when the other link was posted I read and found out I was incorrect in my assumption and didn't want to cause any problems for Slave for ? years. Now that I am thinking of it, I think she changed her name to Slavenomore.
Yep, it's clicky. I spelled it that way to bug Gina...lol It's just the way it goes..people make friends and they feel comfortable talking to eachother. Doesn't mean though, that we wouldn't welcome your posts....I'd like to hear more from you...
I'm sorry if you feel left out. I'm new to this board (any board) and everyone's been welcoming. I can't imagine coming in here for help and feeling ignored. I'm sorry if you feel that way. I'm SURE anyone here would love to help you.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Given that he hasn't written back, my guess is that he was trying to ruffle feathers. I may be cynical, but that's just what I'm thinkin'.
I mean, it's a good thing to think about. But eh...
Everyone made me feel incredibly welcome, and now look, I'm like, psychotic posting freak girl. Thanks guys ;)
hehe.

Oh no, this was definitely a "drive-by posting". Take a pot shot and then leave. If it is true they are popping Tramadols like Pez, I am not sure the joke is on us.....How can they laugh at a dingy when they are on the Titanic? (post iceburg)
"Slave, we'll never let you go..."
LOLOLOL
And here we are, rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. I've always enjoyed doing that.
Cheers,
Gina
Maybe we click because we are wearing dainty, little, strappy, cocktail shoes?
lol....it always comes down to shoes with me!!! I have made some very close friends because of conversations about shoes!
Elim: Drive by posting! I love that!
