Of course it's not going to bother the members of the clique..why would it ever offend the offenders themselves?
...but when the dialogue turns off topic it destroys the thread and renders the subject matter useless. Not to mention the fact that other users, those who can't afford IIN Gold, or who are inept in chat rooms, become outcasts.
So I'm part of a "clique"? Sounds like you have something against people who have actual friends here.
People are free to comment on a story and say whatever they want, so might as well let them. If the OP doesn't mind, there shouldn't be a problem. Don't see how it's reasonable for it to bother you if it's not your story or poll.
It's the first time I ever here someone say that someone who can't afford IIN Gold, or aren't part of a "clique" are an outcast. Do you see it that way? Very shallow opinion, if you ask me.
While you make some valid points, they fall on deaf ears when you attack me on a personal level. I'm certainly not shallow by any means. I'm among those who defended you when you were being publicly smeared by some childish user. I exposed their petty behavior and berated the Management for approving their story "people who like Pink Floyd are sluts..." really? C'mon!
I never faulted anyone for becoming friends on this site. That's a good thing. I'm trying to point out the fallibility of rendering those without IIN Gold impotent within the approval process and how several among you have formed an elite and exclusive group who yes...make others feel like outcasts while littering a thread with pointless, off topic conversation.
I'm sorry if I offended you on a personal level...that was never my intention. I certainly didn't mean to drive you to hostility and personal attacks. I'm one who believes in speaking...and listening...in dissagreement for the sake of valid debate.
I didn't attack you, I told you how I felt. I apologize if you saw it that way. I never said you were shallow, but your opinion is and I made that clear.
I don't think considering users who aren't part of "cliques" or who don't have IIN gold to be an outcast. But that's just my opinion.
We're all equal here, having IIN Gold or having close friends here doesn't make anyone better than the other.
I completely agree with you, I think it's very easy for a user to become an outcast on this site. Not because those in cliques are mean or anything, it's the opposite really, but for the reasons you mentioned. I find it very easy to feel unwelcome here.
Is it normal turned into a circle jerk?

And why does this bothers you?

Point taken. I apologize for not reading it the way you intended.
That being said...we are far from equal. Look...already there are 20 comments on this poll...
...and I stand alone...defending myself from a barage of criticizm prior to the approval where "outsiders" can give their input.
