nobdies are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from cliquey.
After all, they let me in didn't they? 
Seriously, please don't put them/us in that category, every poster is welcomed with open arms. There's no secret hand shake, strange wink or drinking of cat semen something gross to gain entry.
As is any poster in search of support with alcohol on the Brave Babes thread. That has taken well over a year to establish as a real life line for some, it's NEVER cliquey, we welcome everyone who needs support (not trollery) with open arms. You don't judge you, we just listen and try to help you if that's what you want. You can post there at any time and there'll be someone around to chat.
Not everyone does but hey, that's what makes the world turn.
Of course as with all 'regular' threads, there are people who 'know one another' and ask how posters are, it doesn't mean that you aren't welcome. It just means that over time, we've gotten to know each other. That's all. Don't be put off by that.
Just jump right in. You have as much right to post on there as anyone else.
If you don't like the threads, just hide them. Don't banish them to where they can't be seen....... or found.
