Yes, we have moderators here -- something that is lacking in the offline world -- but they're not supposed to serve as our parents. What are they supposed to do to fix this situation? Say, "Kath, Blaine, and Heather -- you guys aren't allowed to be friends because that's too cliquey and other people on GC are upset by it"? Give me a break.

Being a mod is about being in a positon of leadership. Some should change the way they are, people look to mods on this site for leadership in a sense. No one ever said certain people can't be friends or have cliques. No one is upset about having cliques or friends here. You are missing the point behind the message. It's about being in certain clicks and having the luxury of getting away with stuff to an extent and then others don't have that luxury. And you are right about the way things are in the real world. People say and do what they want and are allowed to do so. But, if this site is to be ran as if it were the " real" world, 3/4 of the people who have their posts deleted or are banned would not have been done they way they were. Right?
