    You didn't know? People have this dart board, see. It constantly updates with everything we see and hear throughout the day. In the morning, we wake up, lob a dart at the board, and whatever it lands on, well, that's what we're going to be pissed off about today. It's sorta fun, you should try. Weird results sometimes, though. Apparently today I'm pissed off at turtles.

    The fact is most of MFP is women. And everyone knows that you make a woman happy by rubbing her clique.

    Since when did clique become synonymous with friends?

    Offline, if you have a group of mutual friends and you cut one of them out of your life, don't the other mutual friends want to know why? It's a natural reaction.

    ^^^

    It's just the internet.

    So everyone out on this site are robots and not real people? I have made friends with a lot of the people on my FL and have met a few....and plan on meeting more in the future if fate allows!

    I had a hit put out on me this week for deleting someone. Now I need to walk the long way home from school. :sad:
    Did the person you deleted have a spreadsheet or database to track their friends? I tell ya -- some folks take that list waaaaaaaaaay too seriously.

    ^This DOES happen.

    I take a firm stance of apathy. It serves me well.

    Indeed. These are the same folks that worry about you having their "enemies" on your list. :laugh:

    This is what I was wondering. How on earth would you even know you've been 'unfriended'?

    I've never noticed any cliqueishness at all. Maybe it's just you.

    You do you. Everything else will take care of itself.

    I see it all over the forums and user pages.

    I only bring it up because it chases of newbies and even serious members because they get sick of the childishness.

    Here's what you can do. Just be you. If you're really concerned with cliques, or what I'd like to call "groups of friendly chummy people with common likes and interests", either ignore them or join them. It's the f*cking internet. No need to get all sadz over silliness on the message boards and friend lists. Who cares. Be a legend in your own mind. Or be one of those kids that isn't part of a group/clique but yet everyone respects. Just don't be a whiner.

    It's time that we stopped worrying about drama like this, and focused on the real problem here: The lack of hot chicks posting pics in the NC-17 group, and the overabundance of nasty pics, including tufts of *kitten* hair. :sick:

    A lot of people are cliquey on here. I can't even delete someone without their friends complaining and wanting to know why or wanting to delete me as retribution. If you disagree with somone in the forums, all their friends join in so they can win with numbers instead of substance. People watch who you add, delete, and speak to and then try to control it. Not to mention some of the popularity contests. I've seen cliques swarm seemingly obvious questions that are sincere inquiries by new members and chase them away with unnecesary judgments. My question is... how do we stop it? How do we end the cliques?

    Well, we could all grow up and stop caring what the mean girls think or do.

    So....how do I get into "said" clique. I want a family. All my life I just wanted to belong. To be loved. Accepted. How do I get in? Is there an initiation? A beat-in? Off? Circle jerk? JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!

    I can honestly say that I don't pay attention to who my friends add and delete. Who I keep on my FL is entirely up to me and I would never tell one of my friends that they had to choose me over another user.

    That being said, I was attacked this morning via PM by another user because she didn't like something I wrote on a mutual friend's profile. The mutual friend decided to delete the other user from her FL. This kind of stuff happens every damn day. I would have never asked or expected her to delete the other user. It's an individual's choice as to how they maintain their FL. If they let their friends TELL them who to add and delete then that's up to them.

    That chick was deleted because she started drama with a friend on my page. Drama is not something I want to deal with while trying to lose weight.

    I thought drama was part of losing weight?? That's what I learned on the Biggest Loser....

    I was attacked via PM too, over the weekend for offering sound, rational advice. I was told I was a horrible person and blah blah blah...but in truth who is the real hypocrite here? HMMM.
