so quit griping. You have not yet been assimilated. It could still happen. Better sleep with one eye open.

on a serious note - I totally get it. I think there are two problems with the "cliques" - first one is that they don't really exist in any meaningful way (it's the lounge fer cryin' out loud) and the second one is that people are too sensitive and ready to be outraged. All this negative energy at the world is re-focused right here where we have a voice, and sometimes on other people here.

It's crazy - we're all on the same side, more or less, lurkers notwithstanding. I like to think that damn nearly every one of us would do something nice for any of us if we asked and they thought about it, which just makes the squabbles here seem more like sibling bitchiness than real social wars.

Don't take it so seriously. Judge the performances, not the performers.
