Can I say CO-SIGN and AMEN to this post?

I doubt that anyone cares about any benevolent clique. In fact, we wouldn't even notice it, the clique wouldn't stand out.
As far as why don't people respond to hurtful posts by PM, why would they want to? Why would they want to have to mix it up with someone for being uncivil?
We are talking about a posting pattern of several people.
Is Ginger or winneythepooh or whoever, supposed to fire off 5 or 6 pm's asking the people to play nice? Play nice both in the original thread and in reference to snide comments that spill over into other threads by the same group of people?
The same group of people that other people have been insulted by?
I think a lot of readers are missing the point utterly.
When most of these individuals post by themselves its not a big deal, when several individuals from a group post mean comments in clusters as well as spilling it over into other threads its majorly noticeable.
What is so difficult to understand about this?
What is so hard about not making direct personal attacks just becasue you disagree with someone?
Why is it so difficult to refrain from posting mean comments in clusters with your pals?
I mean, if you are going to be a group can't just one of you tell the person off lol?
Does it take 3 or 4?
Are all us readers a little clearer now on what dimensions of a clique we are talking about now?
