Meh, part of the whole Mutual Admiration Society thang is taking gleeful pleasure in annoying people with it... (dead giveaway- you don't have to name names)... best not to encourage

This clique seems to feel its reason for existing is to run the boards.  We have Mods for that -- why the need to add yoursleves en masse to the 'board authorities'?

There is a forum for discussions about meeting people real time.  It's called 'Postive Experiences' and its on the 'Introductions' board.  Posting an Op or post where it doesn't belong is annying

Funny. I've been here for about a month, and haven't noticed cliquey behaviour here, just people who are friends. Coming from a board that is actually cliquey, I was pleasantly surprised at how many people here are willing to joke around with and befriend a n00b. I've had a lot of fun both on the board and in cmail with folks from the forums. I also love reading about the R/L meetings and hope to meet some of the great folks here at some point.

That said, my approach to new communities (online and off) may differ from yours. I tend to lurk a bit before jumping in, and then try to get a feel for the board/community. I haven't yet started a thread, as I prefer to read and contribute for now. When disagreeing, I try to do so without pissing off the person I disagree with. In short, I try to respect the community and see where I fit in.
But that's just me, YMMV.

Or do you prefer to spend time with people who you vehemently disagree with and don't respect?

RS?
I think I love you :)

Now there is a reply to reply I can really feel.  Thanks for love sweetheart, it is well received and I give mine in return.  I hope your house has cooled off to the point you are confortable now and get your domestic chores in order.

Hmmm… My good friends in real life like Lucivar, Gethan, dareman and Zync1000 are on these forums.  They have been guests at my home, my parties and I have played side by side with these people in local dungeons as well as ‘vanilla’ activities like movies, the beach, fishing, dinner, video games and etc.  Why shouldn’t I play side by side with them on these forums too? 
 
Lovers/slaves like slave donna, slave aimee, slave anastasia and accipitres are on these forums.  Are you saying I shouldn’t play with them here on these forums just as naturally as I would in real life? 

My fellow Floridians that I talk with on the phone, some of which I have or will be meeting in the near future like Cjan, GreedyTop, lronitulstahp and Gwynvyd are on these forums.  I chat with them as I would any other time. 

There is a long list of people I talk with on the phone that live outside of Florida, some of which I will be meeting in the very near future like CaliGirl, Lushy and LadyHibiscus. 

I would rather see a casual or humorous post from them in a reply to a reply than address your bright pink wall of text OP about the deep meaning of your font, its color, your latest identity crisis, your latest screen name, how you think someone isn’t a “twue Dom” because he wouldn’t let you top from the bottom or how you feel left out of the clique of real people that meet, date and play in real life.

Nonetheless, I am glad you see them as authorities despite the fact they are not.  I hope you listen to the advice they give and eventually your posts actually come to bear the very substance you claim they lack.

y'all are a figment of my imagination...

And Bear...i too am going to hop on an imaginary plane and go to Rain and Lumus's wedding...even though they don't exist. I can't help but wonder how much i am not going to spend on the cheap gift i won't give them......

speaking of alleged weddings i wonder if that means my alleged handfasting is off since i met my alleged fiancee and master here?
