What bothers me is not the written guidelines of the forum but the "unwritten" ones, the same ones you find in all social circles. You are seen as either "in" or "out" with the crowd. This may be a general observation but I've found that being truly different and being your own person is quite a disatvantage if it doesn't fall with in the boundries of what's accepted. Having other "flaws" (which people may say doesn't matter) doesn't help eiher. Some may deny there are no cliques but there are. It seems that, when it comes to sharing a thought in the form of a post, the replies it receives appears to depend on who happens to make the post. I can say something and it's as if me and my thoughts are invisible. Someone else can say the same thing and boy, it's reply after reply of positive feedback. Those who've been welcomed to the "in" crowd probably would never notice this. To those of us on the outside looking in, it's quite obvious.
