if there is a MN clique? Someone mentioned it on a thread and I'm now wondering if everyone knows each other in person?

I think if you ask a question or have a problem as someone who isn't on very much (like me Grin ) then you will get fewer responses than if you ask the same question and are someone ever so famous on mumsnet. So, yes, just like groups anywhere .

succinct

Fuck it.

Gooseberrybushes · 04/07/2011 12:08

there's a party line rather than a clique

i don't know, yes a bit of a clique, the people that get agreed with no matter what they say or if they're contradicting something they said yesterday

it doesn't matter though

Beertricks is right: people who think independently and don't care about teaming up are really dangerous. You ought to avoid them. Dreadful. They're all ghastly.

i have meant a few and "know" a few on FB.
Yes there are goups that know each other better

Ooh so many clique/quiche threads this week already. Must be something in t'water.

There are cliques on MN, yes.

HTH.

Gooseberrybushes · 04/07/2011 12:13

in real life there are fb twitter and meet up groups for sure, they seem to end up imploding

in fact I think there's a strengthening mn rule that the whole "centre" explodes up its own arse every four years with recriminating private messaging and emails and people being banned or leaving

then there are fifty threads from the dangerous people not in cliques saying "what happened?"

Yes yes but LeQ everyone wants you in their clique Wink

Gooseberrybushes · 04/07/2011 12:21

maybe one of those lone wolves we all need to watch out for then

Gooseberrybushes · 04/07/2011 12:23

not too much fawning here so far, jolly good for a thread like this

Ilythia · 04/07/2011 12:25

All the MNer's local to me would be in a clique, if we weren't so damn disorganisedGrin

I have met MNer's in RL but they are friends who are on MN, not the other way round

TrillianAstra · 04/07/2011 12:26

LeQ is diplomatic and shares her time between all cliques.

BitOfFun · 04/07/2011 12:27

Aren't the Richard Armitage lot a clique though? Are those threads still going?

And the twisluts and the flyladies and the teashoppers and the listmakers and the pram huns and the scuttlebugs and the round and round circle of life madness and there was definitely a thread that said "jen and vools and jiggy and something"

DawnTiggaFashionGoddess · 04/07/2011 12:36

I want to have my own clique, it will contain just me and shall shower and pepper threads with random Tigganess.

This is a good MN quiz actually- name as many cliques as you can. So I'm adding Shineys, Nobdies, Wankers and IPOATs (are those two the same?).

BitOfFun · 04/07/2011 12:38

And the Crepey Hags.

Hullygully · 04/07/2011 12:39
