A “clique”
is a group of people who “got there first”. This occurs on many forums – diabetes,
health related, nutrition, angling, bowling, etc. All have their clique
consisting of long-time members who feel they own the forum and are senior and
superior. Moderators are supposed to monitor this behaviour but more often than
not succumb to the same arrogance themselves. If a member’s viewpoint is out of
step with the clique they are attacked and stoned until the member leaves the forum. No individual
among the clique can be identified as the one who “killed” the member, yet
everyone involved plainly bears some degree of moral culpability.
On d.co.uk I
think back to the quality information and advice provided by Fergus, Timo,
Trinkswasser, etc. Where are they now? Stoned to death?
An easy
quiz, name the clique members on d.co.uk. However, for every wrong answer, you
get to spend a day in a locked room with the Bonkers Brothers. Two wrong and
you get to spend the weekend in a locked room with the (weight challenged)
ex-copper/pipefitter wielding his truncheon/pipe.
