i have had a little thought.
It's about what sophable said earlier about her feeling that some people didn't really want her over there.
I am thinking that possibly if some people were correct in their assertion that it is set up as a select group who consider themselves superior,
then surely that whole vibe of 'we are the top girls, everyone do as we say' (demonstrated perhaps in the sometimes arrogant interruption of other people's threads on here, in the past, in-jokes etc etc) would have difficulty in perpetuating, as everyone would be '[invite only' and therefore nobody could be perceived as being a pleb or having second class status - as perhaps some people felt they were on here, before the arrogant element departed.
Therefore the new forum will either have none of that class ethic going on, and will be all sweetness between the top gals, or else it will need to supply its own underclass somehow in order to facilitate the arrogance.
In which case it is just same old, same old, happening in a smaller petri dish. And if there is no hierarchy over there, I wonder how long it can survive as surely the arrogant superiority of some was key to the elite? And without that...nobody to toast the crumpets, as someone mentioned...how can it survive?
Of course this is simply a kind of exploration of another 'what if' experienced only through one perspective, which I am unwilling to take ownership of personally as my own feelings are still so unsettled and ambivalent.
But it makes for a good social experiment.
