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

Shock @ wankers and ipoaters slur.

I went to a meet up a few months ago. Didn't know anyone at all. Terrifying yet in a good way.

Cliques are mostly people having a shared interest or a shared sense of humour. They just evolve I think.

hully I doubt they'd take offence at being called the vampire porny people! Grin

BoF I wasn't aware of the Crepey Hags clique, but I feel I ought to be in it Grin

I wouldn't say I am in any particular clique, but I am on some quite specific threads continuously, which don't feel at all cliquey. As I said upthread, there are the usual drunken bums, which I suppose to someone looking in mid thread can look cliquey and utterly mad and incomprehensible and of course I only lurk on those threads ....Wink

But surely in many ways, as in RL, there are certain people that one will just click with, others we may nod good morning too and others that we will avoid at all costs. I have only been posting on here since late January, but once I took the plunge I have never felt 'left out' or intimidated (bar one horrible moment, but that also showed me just how lovely random strangers can be).

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 04/07/2011 13:03

Chaos apologies but I have absolutely no idea what HaikuVille is....

I didn't mean that the IPOATS are wankers, just that I wasn't sure if they were the same as the Wankers. Grin

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 04/07/2011 13:08

and continuing on my cluelessness, what is/are IPOATS please.

PinotsEvilTwin · 04/07/2011 13:10

LeQ I wasn't fawning - note the wink. I avoid your ear-clipping!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 04/07/2011 13:15

All the antenatal threads and all the postnatal threads. (I win!)

All clever with your haikus
Mine aren't so great

I can't manage a haiku
There's not enough scope
I prefer a limerick

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/07/2011 14:29

Love it, rhanks everso!

Like-minded people
gathered together does not
a clique become, right?

Hullygully · 04/07/2011 14:30
