Here's my unsolicited opinion. (It's a message forum right).
I don't see cliques on these boards just groups of like minded posters. Their minds differ but I see groups of people who generally think one way or another about topics. If you're around long enough you know what posts will churn the butter of what groups. It ain't rocket science.
Here you have one general group of like minded posters that are having a discussion regarding what the OP posted. For the record, whatever the OP intended for this thread to be...I don't think became that...which is where I think her defensiveness is coming from. I don't think it turned out the way she thought it was going to (whatever that was meant to be).
That doesn't make anyone right or wrong, it just makes it a discussion. Which is quite fitting on a discussion board.
And I use "hey" (personally) as a greeting all the time being that I'm from the South. But I don't do it when I respond to posters, when I quote them it's obvious I'm responding to them. I also know that there are multitudes of cultures on these boards (including many that aren't American and even more that have never been to Sheetz or WaWa) and even though "hey pebbles!" Is supposed to be a greeting, it comes off over the internet as snarky.
