Could you guys stop "trash" taking users who are not on to defend themselves. It is an incredibly low down thing to do. The discussion started touching on the question of whether cliques exist or not. But then primegen started naming names.
I happen to have nothing at all against Qbone so when someone else is "trash talking" him I take exception to it. I have found him always to be pleasant and very helpful when I have sought advice. He may well have said something to annoy you primegen but you need to realise that you are just one out of many users on this board who have opinions that may often differ from yours. This doesn't mean you can moan about them and use other threads to belittle and demean these users. Ironically this is a good illustration of the crap side to cliques.
And while this thread is actually on topic for now I will say that when users try to back up their opinions, comments and mindsets by mentioning other users, that is resorting to clique-ism to imply that you have a group of other users behind you in what you say or what you think. Primegen uses this technique frequently when he is trying to put other users down. He has used it with me to try to convey how he he right and he has the support of all his comrades in some disgusting things he says.
This aspect of clique-ism is not constructive and might deter users from feeling that their opinion has any validity unless they get some kind of recognition or respect from other users. They certainly shouldn't feel that or let it stop them from saying what they think and I say that all users shouldn't give 2 shits if another user is bad mouthing them and just go ahead and say what's on their mind and exercise their freedom of speech

I feel a bit diffident answering this type of question because certain users use these kinds of details to try to degrade me. But then that's why the flag button was invented....I don't have a degree as yet but am currently in the process of completing a mathematics degree through via a long established correspondence university. Next year I've got to get my ass in gear and try to get the bulk of it done.

Yeah I don't like to consciously rule out someone based on their sign but having said that I tend to advoid scorpios. I supose it's any hint of emotional controlling and I want out.

Proud Sag..I can definitely relate to the 'I don't want to be bothered'...and the 'look'!!! And those that don't know it and approach me...I can be very 'short' with them.
notso07...I have heard and read that too. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I have read Sag traits and it's not me..I can relate to very little of it..yet when I read Scorpio traits, that's me in a nutshell, yet astrologically I'm a Sag. Go figure!!!!

And one morething..!!
She is not representing the America.... but the idea of being free! The Statue of Liberty was presented by the people of France to the people of the United States in 1886 to honour the friendship between the two nations.
Today, it is recognized as a symbol of liberty throughout the world.
The Statue of Liberty may have been created by the genius of a few visionaries, but the concept she represents speaks to the minds and resonates in the hearts of ordinary men and women everywhere.
Now PIG? ?PIGS? are against it.. and it is my duty to defend her honour?!
