Question re. our forum

You know how many people have me blocked?  Probably TONS of them.  Their loss. :)

 Your still on my good list, not block yet 

I'm here I just don't post a much cause, I think I do good researches and read almost all post too.
Plus one thing when I come on my question is already asked.

Then sometimes I don't know what to say.

Clique: A small group of people with shared interests, who spend time together and exclude others.

I've thought a little about this Hanneli. I think it is a clique in the sense that we are a 'small' group of people with shared interests ie WLS.

I don't think the 'regular' members exclude others though. 

When I think of those that post on a regular or semi-regular basis I don't find they post to certain people and not to others. Sure comraderies are built, but that is the way of life. I do find the regulars to be welcoming to the new folks.
 
I've only blocked one person Vivian on the Main site because she doesn't have much to offer. I haven't even blocked the religious nutter on the main board YET.

I mentioned to you that I thought it was odd that the person who blocked you did so, (you don't seem like an annoying type to me). Maybe he took it the wrong way and in a second there you went. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even remember why he blocked you.

 Hi friends,

I will add that I have found this group to be a life-saver for me.  I check the site throughout the day and it is usually the last thing I do before going to bed.  It is has been insightful, humorous, *****y, intellectual, welcoming and fulfilling.  I have learned so much here from everyone and feel that I have made a wonderful connection with people that love to share and care.  I read as much as I could to gain insight into this whole WLS topic and felt comfortable asking questions without fear.  I know that I would not have been as successful so far without the knowledge I have gained here. ( and p.s. I only want to gain knowledge lol)  

There are personalities, temperaments and high-handed opinions here just as in every walk of life.  It is refreshing and normal.

Just me
Nancy

Depends on your definition of "normal". LOL!

Thank you for your perspective Nancy! 

I agree with what you said, totally. Could not have said it better. 

I am a newbie. 

Sometimes I try not to post things and it happens anyways ( like my whiney sobfest yesterday).  Then I feel dumb.  However, I can't take it back ?  can I ?  

I find most people (old and new) supportive with lots of helpful advice. 

I guess i don't understand clique's because I don't find that to be the case ? 

That's my 2 cents.

oh and I wish there was a "LIKE" button !! sometimes I like a post but don't have anything further relevant to add to it but wish I could "LIKE" it !

Yours in newbie-dom,
Amy

I think facebook has trained us well, I would like a like button too!
