If I'm insulted for no reason I have the right to respond.

All I'm saying is that you don't have to respond with an equally harsh remark. All it suggests is that you're no different which makes anything you say about Rob inconclusive.

I'm starting a clique with waterhog, anyone who wants to join has to submit a haiku

Tbh there isn't one particular "crowd", but there are multiple groups of users who seem to gravitate to one another which is naturally going to happen with semi regular posters. There are people I find it easy to strike up conversation with and, as you said, there are times I find it hard to get involved with a discussion when certain others are on together.

But at the end of the day it's an online forum and anybody who feels they have some sort of real status and acts standoffish to lesser known members needs to go out and get some fresh air a bit more often.

I always feel like this.

The dique clique are the worst

Tbh, when it comes to people being accused of being a "clique" on here yet you have the likes of Lilbro and RileyHollyoaks who not to long ago weren't really all that much active on the forum, and just jump in and chat regardless about anything and whoever they want.

I think 90% of the time people feel ostracised or like they can't post because of their own mind set whereas if you jump right in and do whatever you'll see it's not a clique. Just a group of members who have become familiar with one another.

Just like when I first joined and didn't really use the chat threads for years because the regular posters in them I didn't know.

It was only by jumping in, I got to know members.

But then when you have the very odd person, not all that common really, but the odd one who purposely tries to rile people up or say something controversial for the sake of it. Then when they are called out on it cry "Clique! Clique! They won't let me play!"

Tbh, clique is usually just a word that's thrown about by people who don't like certain members, when they can't think of anything more relevant to say.

What a distasteful sig to suggest anyone who feels uncomfortable or draws attention to the cliques we all know exist are ‘misfits’. Proves the threads point I think.

But again, its like that in real life too. if a group of friends is talking and a randomer comes to join in, people tend to pay much more attention to their mates

That's the difference for me though, a clique IS deliberate and there's the difference.

You're right, it's natural for people to gravitate towards the people they already know/are familiar with or like and it'll take time for anyone new to bed in. Especially all in a large group together. But that's not cliquey.

A clique implies a "Mean Girls"esque club where people are purposely excluded or pushed out. That happens extremely rarely IMO.

The sig is his sig, it has no relevance to the post

Yeah, that, or the television show "Misfits".
