    These posts about intimidation and cliques are killin' me softly this morning. So lame. Makes me not want to come here out of secondhand embarrassment for people who have pride in their status on MFP forums.

    Hilarious y'all. Wow.

    Goodness.

    Well as the creator of those threads, I guess my intention was misunderstood.

    I am glad the intimidation thread is going ok. I thought it might be an issue for a hot second. I think its kinda a neat idea though, break the barriers down. Sometimes the best way to do it is bulldoze right through.

    I guess if nothing else we are all seeing that we may be misunderstood and not even realize it

    So true. And so ironic, because the point of these threads was to mitigate any misunderstandings :grimace:

    It's cliquey enough I'm afraid to ask for friends. I'm not here to get ripped or lose a few pounds for Summer, I'm here for a life change, lose almost 200lbs, multi year commitment.

    In the Chit Chat area people goof off, we joke and use mostly sarcasm. I have a lot of the people who post in the forums as friends and I find them to motivating, encouraging and inspirational. Don't take anything you see here as a sign that MFP isn't a great community of wonderful support


    So says the lady holding a massive banana... :laugh:

    I’ve noticed one big clique (except for a few randoms) keeps commenting on this thread saying that their are no cliques. Hmmmmm...

    I hope this isn’t me because I like to think that while I’ve developed friendships in the last year, it’s not to the exclusion of anyone else.

    I’ll play with anyone, I’ve been inoculated.

    hmmmm not sure that is something you wanna say in this crowd :#:D:D

    I find it very interesting some of the responses from "loners" or those not belonging to a clique, who (in my observation) seemto.

    But being a mod you have an entirely different perspective no?

    Why would being a moderator give someone a different perspective? Especially when similar comments were made by others who aren't moderators?

    I may be way off, but I was told moderators have insight to the who and when of woo's, likes, hugs etc... Wouldn't that introduce an entirely new data set to review? Giving a better view of who is on what bandwagon?

    I can see who reacts in what way. But, tbh, trying to figure out woo patterns is a deadly spiral, even when you can see who does it.

    Trying to figure out sure. I would think though that there has to be some stuff that just JUMPS out at you. But I'm not now nor have I ever been a mid so I'm really just talking out my fifth point of contact.



    Just a FYI- If I wooed you- it was because I thought it was a positive thing.. Now i no woo
