Why you disgusting little newbie! You infintesmally small piece of pond scum floating around in a sewage treatment pool! Who gave you permission to post? Who authorized you to think? Are you feeling frisky???*end voice mode*
All kidding aside...it's natural in a way for us to gravitate into groups of like-minded people, even here on the internet. That's to be expected, I think. Some groups, by their nature, are more open and accepting. Others can be more exclusive and aloof...it all depends upon the underlying framework of the group and
why it formed in the first place. Is it a group of people who enjoy tossing around silly jokes and who enjoy having a good time? That's where one will often find the quickest acceptance. I think of the SLURR threads and spam in the old days and the fact that anyone could jump in and join the spamming. Beldin, Eery, Ode, and others were more cavalier and jovial than most others here with the threads they created, and just about anyone could find a place in the madness (as long as they weren't a grump
). Then, of course, there is Weasel.
It's more of an issue of group personalities than any penchant for exclusion, I think. These days we are looking at SYM bereft of much of what it once possessed. I know for myself, I simply don't have the inner energy to write in the DFs at this time, nor spam like I used to. Yet I still remain here, perhaps out of habit, hoping to see some of the people I had come to know here post once in a while...
Sleepy. If you're out there reading this, you lurker, a pox on you.
