>>>clique - I really haven't noticed this

All you have to do is look at the threads over the last several days.

If certain folks say something, there are those who will rally the wagons around them and defend them to the last even if what they said was offensive, unintellgible, or incorrect.

When they run out of frivolous (or even ludicrous) arguments, you start to hear how wonderful the person is and how much they do for the hobby and how bad a person you are. This is generally coupled with the name calling. Current favorites appear to be "horses butt" and/or "horses a$$"

The latest tactic appears to post such messages and then subsequently delete them.

Don't think this isn't a coordinated effort. A certain member admitted that there is a group that exchanges "100s of emails" about other members. Why? I have been told both directly and indirectly that the price for questioning the club elite is exclusion from the clique.

I honestly wish I were making this up but its been posted right here for everyone to see who wants to see it.
