is there a 'clique' on MN?? my posts just get ignored/ unnoticed/disregarded

[LittleMissTroubled]

maybe i am just being paranoid, but i only joined last week and have tried on numerous occasions to join in the threads and it all seems a bit cliquey, anyone else feel the same? or is it just me?

TM, my lovely, YOU JUST MENTIONED IT!!!

I could get into this schoolmarm thing

Dunno, TM, probably for a bit - why?

i know the feeling. nobody ever answers my threads or even notices my posts half the time. if i do get a reply to my threads, there are just one or two replies and thats it then, the thread dies a death

What sort of threads?

Start one about smoking in pregnancy - you'll get bundles of posts then

hunkermunker; why not.

I'm just crap at it! -2 points. All my own fault for making up my own words . Might have to stick to scrabble.

TM, you're not doing yourself any favours, you know.

Play some randoms to practise - there are loads of words that come up a lot - I always miss OWL, for instance!

'tis the clock. I'm crap under pressure. Scrabble I have time to think.

Have to go and look after 3 classes of little devils darlings at school. Catch you later for a few games?

hunkermunker; see what i mean. you dont even know me and your telling me im not doing myself any favours. im busy with kids etc up till around that time (like you, im sure) but on my own tonight and might come on here. thats all.

No, not "see what I mean" - I asked you a perfectly reasonable question - why should I be here at 10pm tonight, since you'd asked a very specific question and you answered with "why not" which was rude.

"is there a 'clique' on MN??"

whooo-hoo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

HOW many times is this questioned going to asked?

Only asked by those not in the clique though, Nad

hunkermunker;
ok, i'll take that as a no then.

Don't be chippy. I was taken aback by your "why not" - it looked rude. You say it's not, that's fine!

TM, you are your own worst enemy. If I said "TM, are you going to be on MN at 9:30?" wouldn't you assume there was a reason for me asking!!!

If I did what you just did with hunker, she'd be saying to me "what the fuck's up with YOU? " I think she's being bloody polite!

doodle; thank you.

i just cant help being a bit blunt. if someone asked me to be on here tonight at 10.00 i would just say ok. (if i could).

when she asked me why, i just thought "why not" didnt mean to be rude.

sorry hunkermunker.

someone on a thread about smokers outside pubs (the op lives near a pub) asked for advice on what to do about it. i just told her she should move. what else can she do about it. she might think thats being rude, i dont know.

LOL talulasmum, you really are a creation.

To be pedantic.....you didnt ask her to be on here, you asked if she was going to be on here. It's not quite the same thing - one is an invitation, the other is a query. She did actually answer your query too.

The thing is - all we have on here to communicate is words....so we take them at face value, usually.

You seem a sensitive soul. That's cool. But not everyone is considering the complexities of the written word or a conversation like you may be. So basically, dont take it personally

well thank you very much saintjude.

yes i am very sensative. (are you a psychiatrist?)

sometimes i read my posts and think crikey, did i really say that? i forget people cant see me and see that im smiling while im saying things. not smiling in a crazy way, smiling in a nice kind way.
