BWW: A View from an Outsider

Well...

As an outsider, I have found that BWW is littered with a number of cliques. Which makes it quite hard for a newbie to jump in - which as a result has meant that I've been lurking for some time.

There are so many, where to begin?

The adults - the people who log in at work, and spend all day on BWW. They think they are slightly superior...like, Robbiej, Suleen, Rathnait62, Finding Namo, NYadgal etc.

The wise men - DGrant, MargoChannig...they are worshipped, and revel in their glory.

The artsy peeps - Gleeb, popcultureboy, Nyadgal, kissmycookie...they are slighty odd, but they seem to be popular.

The Adam wierdos - luvtheemcee, insomniak, etc. - get a lofe.

But the WORST little clique has to be the stupid Bitches thread.
Tiff, BaST, CameraAngel, Ellie3, ShubertAlley35, etc. They think they're so witty and clever when actually YOURE NOT. Especially Tiff and Ellie3 - they can barely stand each other appartently, yet they never stop talkingg - if you don't like each other - stop talking to each other, simple.

Y'all agree, right??

Ummm....alright.

My guess is you have had a lot of time on your hands to be able to make all these assumptions.

Not the best entrance.

And to tell everyone else to get a life when you are doing what, exactly?

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

perhaps it is your attitude that "makes it quite hard for a newbie to jump in"
I consider myself a newbie, even though I joined Jan of 2004, it's only been the past two weeks I've been back.
I've had no problem jumping in.

Oh, honey. We'd hardly agree with the slams geared toward us. Cute, though.

Oh, and of course the newbie who hates the community he's trying to get into isn't going to be accepted. Get over yourself. You're so observant, watching, and telling ME to get a life? Heh.

A lofe? If a lofe is a machine gun, I sure will. And you can expect a small hole between your eyes about two minutes after I get it working.

Yes, I agree that I'm slightly superior.

You know, I always thought I was, too. But apparently, I'm just weird. re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

RodneyK! How nice to meet your reincarnation.

Rath, superior hardly describes you. There is no adjective for your wonderfulness.

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

Well, I've been around a long time, and I don't believe I'm considered part of any "clique" nor would I consider myself part of one. Just as people in "real: life form groups of friends, this is all they're/we're doing. I like to spend my time joining in on threads I enjoy, and when I find one that I really enjoy (ala the Bare cast thread awhile back) I spend the majority of my time there. These people in your so called "cliques" are just doing that. I can't fault them for spending their time talking to the people they enjoy talking to, nor do I find it exclusive. I've also never felt excluded from any conversation. Parallels to real life--do you always feel included in every conversation around you? No, nor should you.
I echo Elphaba's sentiment--lighten up and join in.

Princeton and I already have a room, but thanks for thinking of us.

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

And what's the deal with jumping in and insulting people? That's only cool if you do it cleverly. Or humorously. Or kindly.

I take major offense.

Slightly?

Robbie, I'm just upset I wasn't included in the slightly superior list.
Maybe he was saving me for the infinitely superior one.

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

Maybe he was saving me for the infinitely superior one.
Ooh, can I be in that one too?
Or maybe MEF and I can start a "I went/go to a small liberal arts college in VT" clique. Of course, it would just be the two of us...

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

Well, dear, I guess you just have to work a teensy bit harder before you get elevated to such a distinct honor!

re: BWW: A View from an Outsider

What's the point of trying to become part of a community by putting down it's members. Especially someone like Addy... hello!

I don't think I'm part of any clique, really, though I tend to gravitate towards the same people. I chat with whoever, and ignore the posts that bug me... though for some reason couldn't stay away from this one.
