Ahh, you shouldn't change your mind just because I'm sometimes the guilty party. :)
I also see whole posts filled with private jokes that I wasn't party to and don't understand. On occasion, I see a very valid question that doesn't get a single valid answer despite having a hundred responses. I know it's nice to be familiar with people but it does make me wonder about my own behaviour and whether people are thinking it about me too.
I really do try not to exclude people. There are a couple of dozen people on the site that I know I'd get along with and wish I knew better but, weirdly, I'm actually quite shy and I tend to wait for people to come towards me, rather than approach them myself. Virtually everyone I know on this site had to make the first move in getting to know me. I know it doesn't come across that way and I think I can appear a bit cliquey because of it.
Where we get the posts that get filled with non-relevant answers, I do try to give a real answer. I initially answered you with an apology, though, because that's how I genuinely feel. I know I'm not the only problem on the site, and I hope others see this and show some consideration. I think you've made a great point.
Is it normal turned into a circle jerk?
