Very interesting! The secret cliques are finally coming out of the closet. How revealing! Upon carefully scrutinizing the posts in this thread, I have identified the following cliques:

Ed's "Sunshine Clique"
Peter's "Pen Barrel Clique"
Mudder's "Meet the Parents Clique"
DSallee's "Too Many Girlfriends' Clique"
DozerMite's "Beagle Clique"
Hank's "180 Degree Clique"
Daniel's "Movie Clique"
Ragz's "More 'Voicerous' Members Clique"
Roger's "0.23 Clique"
Chris' "Waffling Clique"
Alphageeks' "Babbling Clique"
Thewishman's "One Free Pen Clique"
Roy's "No Stinking Clique Clique"
Cindy's "Take a Breath Clique"
Phil's "Leaf Peeper Clique"

and my "Cliqueless Clique"

I guess that about sums them all up ..... oh yeah .. except for one last one.

I almost forgot Cav's "Georgia Beats LSU Clique"
Go Dawgs!!!!

If I want to create an anti-clique would I have to call it a clack? :rolleyes:

While I certainly don't doubt your resource, can I ask HOW a GROUP can be EXCLUSIVE.

If you INCLUDE no one, you are EXCLUSIVE,
You are also ALONE. Thus, you are NOT a GROUP.

The FACT that you are a GROUP requires that you INCLUDE someone other than yourself.

I love this language, but even it's "definers" occasionally make impossible statements.

OK, Ed. Please further define how an individual can be exclusive, but a group cannot? Exclusivity is not dependent on numbers, but rather on attitude. Yes?

What people confuse as "cliques" on this site is merely a comfort level gained from familiarity. Familiarity gained from reading countless babbling posts or familiarity gained from personal interaction.

The IAP is simply a microcosm of society, albeit one of much higher intelligence. Anyone who likes pens as much as I do, has to be brilliant, right?
 
Of course, we are ALL correct, depending on how you allow "exclusive" to evolve in meaning.

The root word simply means to keep out, not allowing for ANY membership. So, "exclusive" would not allow additional members. The word has evolved to mean LIMITED membership. We, at the IAP will now help it evolve to mean "accepting only other penmakers" - or, as stated above, "brilliant penmakers"- that includes ALL of us and excludes everybody else.

OK???????
 
Hey Gerry sign me up for the Leaf Peepers clique also. Is that picture from your back yard?
I hope that someone else wants to join.
 
I think Gerry more appropriately falls in the "Brilliant pictures clique". I can FEEL that water rushing over those rocks!!!

Ed,

I didn't peg you as an extreemist back-and-white thinker.

I can't find the use of ANY, anywhere in the definition

(maybe if I keep referencing dictionary.com he will use it BEFORE he posts again :biggrin:)

Hey, you know what would be better.... you see where Cav has "Activities Manage" below his user name? wouldn't be neat if we could have our "clique" listed there? That way we don't have to have a Clique list of who's in what clique... My Clique list is getting very confusing.... LOL

That is just not fair.:frown: All I have to look at out the "office" window are pine trees which are always the same boring green, except of course when they're on fire.:eek:

I wish the picture I posted was even close to my house. It's the Swift River in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, about 2,300 miles from here.

Then by being listed in the list of cliques and it thereby being listed as "mine", by the length of this thread I declare you all to be members of The Grand More Voicerous Members clique. Welcome one and all. :p
