    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.

    Damn turtles!!! All hidin out in their shell and stuff...... actin like they're better than I am. Ugh!

    I know, they're effing ridiculous. ARGH :explode: and so high maintenance...

    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!!!!

    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:

    HA
  • Ain't nobody f*ckin with ma clique..clique..clique..

    I haven't really noticed. Then again, while I have met awesome people on here and am glad for that, my goal of being an MFP member is to get fit and lose weight. Not to become the MFP forum queen.

    That being said, what is wrong with "cliques"? I mean, if I see one of my friends posting in a post that is encouraging ED then ofcourse I will join in to talk and back my friend up. Its just natural. Also, repeated points usually tend to get through folks better than just being mentioned once.

    Im guessing you meant DIScouraging ED rather than ENcouraging them

    I don't seem to have this problem...maybe you spend too much time interacting with people who are always on the forums. It's a website, I wouldn't be concerned.

    You said "retribution" which reminded me of Sons of Anarchy which made me just miss two thirds of the beginning of this conference call because I was fantasizing about me and surly, grouchy, massively jacked Opie.

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

    ^Trust Story and so sad.

    MFP is a collection of individuals. Individuals are by nature bound to form cliques. While your point is well taken you are engaging in an exercise in futility in attempting to stop the cliques. This for sure is not a good exercise to waste your valuable time on. Moreover, at the end of the day, it really shouldn't stop you from your fitness goals. The community is secondary or at least it should be. I think that is the real problem here.

    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.

    Awww did someones feelings get hurt by the big bad interweb. Honestly everyone should remove the sand out of their V*****'s and get over it..

    No feelings were hurt and you'd know that if you comprehended the English language. My entire point was that people get tired of it. Being sad about something is different than being tired of dealing with something. Two very different things.

    Actually it's not. If your tired enough to complain about it then it must be affecting your lifestyle... People's opinions do not change and your not gonna do anything about the way people interact with each other by complaining.

    Flame on people lol

    It is "you're," not "your."

    Yes because correcting my gammer is the proper way to win this discussion. It hurt so bad :noway: :huh:

    What about if we move on to spelling???

  • Pretty sure this isn't high school and we're grown adults. If someone is going to put someone else down via internet they need tougher skin.
