I'm totally amazed when someone actually DOES communicate clearly.

Or I would be, if it ever actually happened....

it is but only self destruction, if one seek to get the last word in, only but to cover and deny any greater truth from another, lol......

what does not hate anything that reflect back as a mirror, that shine any real into self, less it has already stood fast, and accepted all as true, and broken the mirror once constantly ran from into pieces.

When in doubt.....ASK~

Jess, you are my new clique administrator, penlgrif, you are my new pr person, i'm thinking about a vacation...

"Birds of a feather, flock together"

That old adage is true. It isn't some great big conspiracy. It is simply, that these forum posters, most of them..have been here for a while. These people are considered "family" and this is their place to meet, and enjoy each other. Yes, i would say there are certain groups..and with certain interests..but they are all friends to me. My suggestion, would be to jump in, get in the conversations, rub some elbows and have fun with it.

Everybody is different, and some groups form, strictly on likeness..I mean...if you're not a nascar fan...then you're not a nascar fan..and you may not want to hear about it...at all...


I'm just saying...stick around..find what interests you, and get to know these people...you might just find, that most of them are pretty cool!

welcome to the forums!

sometimes yes......

got yer metaphors mixed up squeaky wheel gets the grease, hard to roll on cogs seeing as how they are on the inside of a wheel and don't move!....lol...just giving u a hard time!..lol

Thank you!

I believe that effective language is a huge thing when one is trying to communicate -- here, in the forums, all we really HAVE are our words -- so I try to make mine clear and comprehensible; although I do like to toss out some big words every now and then to confuse people, and see if anybody is paying attention.

why am I not surprised about that Loo?

I've been commenting on the cliques here for ages.

It used to be a lot worse, back when the site was newer and smaller and some of the real old-timers resented it when anybody other than themselves posted anything. They developed an entitlement attitude, complained ceaselessly about how "This is not MY JSH anymore," and eventually they went extinct.

The few real cliques we have now are smaller but maybe more vociferous, in terms of the forums. They like to post long threads about nothing, six or seven of them posting the same things over and over, and they make a concerted effort to ignore any non-cliquers who try to join in.

They're easy to spot and easier to ignore.

We have so many new people, people who are actually trying to communicate and get to know the terrain here. I would much rather deal with them than read the same old boring clique-o-rama trashola that the few truly cliquish cliques put out there.

i heard this in a movie and have adopted it for my life.
