Is boards very cliquey?

DeVore

People are nasty online occasionally, not because poker is a competitive game but because those people were raised poorly and are rude.

Don't make exceptions or excuses for them.

As far as the staking goes I know Id prefer to be staking people who are posting regularly - particularly in the strat section as a) I know theyre working on their game b) theyre giving something to boards aswell as getting something out of it and c) yes its a bit easier to trust someone you see posting a lot.

Ship the chips

And I'd imagine that in terms of banter here certain posters tend to have a certain tone about them; once ya know which snipe is serious, and which is merely a wee poke then yer doin alright.

And as for the Cork comments... :P

Urk? Sorry, I wasnt having a pop at RT. Thats what I genuinely feel and I dont see how I was even vaguely having an underhand pop at him. Its not even limited to Boards let alone one person here.

Also, please please do show me where I have done that before (obliquely, directly confronting him in my well doesnt count). I think you'll find a dearth of examples of cheap shots from me.

Don't listen to em Dev, cheapshots at RT never get old imo

DeVore

I had a bumpy start to posting in the poker forum due to two jokes that did not go down well.

Bit like my relationship with yorema.

i think the very nature of a specific forum is clicky. You tend to get the same people posting about the same type of topic and therefore a kind of fellowship emerges.

How deep you get into the 'click' depends on how often you post and interact with others. It's this that allows for all the in-jokes and non-boards.ie related discussions (i.e. live games or meeting during on-line sessions etc).

Despite he board being 'clicky' I think it's relatively easy to get into - or out of - just partake and it kind of absorbs you.

Oscar, linking to that particular piece is completely out of line. I expected better from you but I leave the link there for people to make their own judgement!

I don't think the forum is cliquey at all. There are loads of regulars here who despise each other. Non boards people seem to think that boards posters don't give non posters who play poker any respect but I don't think that's true at all, If it is it's down to just one or two imbeciles.

There are however a few bunches of three or four who stick together and back each other up. You find them ganging up on the OP in the same thread a lot. There are also some people who like to take on whole different boards all-powerful all-knowing persona which is totally unlike them in real life.

there is nobody on this forum I dispise, some i consider to be arrogant dkheads (I know the feeling is mutual) but i sure as hell dont despise them.....sometimes one of them do something and I think he's not all bad then I slap myself and think.....nnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawww he's a dkhead stop this. I dont know why people get hung up on the word clique, every walk of life has cliques, birds of a feather etc. I dont think its a bad thing , its human nature. I think the rag2gar story (dont mention the war) divided the forum a little with some surprising sidetaking...

remember though, its just the internet, smoke a spliff and laugh back at the cigar wielders.....the written word contians no obvious phycial emotion so sometimes what's written with a grin can be mistaken for a gimace....
