[You are using the word "cliques" in its negative sense, and imagining an intentionally exclusive-natured mentality among some members of the board. That is what I do not see. There are groups of like-minded individuals, yes, but nothing more overt than you should be accustomed to handling if you've ever dealt other members of the human species in a social setting before.
I believe there is an intentionally exclusive-natured mentality among some members of the board and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it. I've seen it happen to more than one noob. It isn't just a case of some noob taking offence to a bit of friendly banter either, many of these posts aimed at the noobs lack any bit of humour and are just being dickish for the sake of being dickish. Perhaps I’m better able to notice these things because I’m relatively new and my judgment isn’t clouded by friendships I may have with the perpetrators of such dickish behaviour. You admit that your attitude says something about you, but ignore
it because the attitude of other people says more? That's like kicking a rock and complaining that your foot hurts, but then justifying how you're not responsible, because the pain says more about the hardness of the rock than your action of kicking it. I don’t agree with that analogy at all. I haven’t metaphorically kicked anyone, all I have done is remain honest and just call things the way I see them. I realise the truth is often unpleasant to some but like I said, I believe that says more about them than it does about me. I never said you needed to change, I said that you need to change your behaviour. I don't know enough about you to make a judgement about your person, and it would not be my place to do so if did. Nevertheless, all I am offering is my advice. I would like you to accept it, or at least use it to better your life and relationships (both online and for real).
I’m doing alright in my real life relationships and online relationships aren’t really of great concern to me to be honest but thanks anyays Dr. Xanfor. Anyway back on topic. That noms ended pretty quick, I voted for Randi but it looks like Xanfor is running away with it. Were you saving that song for the POTM Xanfor? I suspect some of your votes were also from the Anti-Super Hans brigade. Using my unpopularity to help you win POTM  Well played.

I’m doing alright in my real life relationships and online relationships aren’t really of great concern to me to be honest but thanks anyays Dr. Xanfor. You're going to be alright, Super Hans. We understand each other enough, I think, to know where we both stand. I hold nothing against you, you know that? There were just some things I thought you should know. I trust you'll do the same for me if I ever misunderstand something. I've done it before, right?  I suspect some of your votes were also from the Anti-Super Hans brigade. Using my unpopularity to help you win POTM The last time I won, I did it quite by accident by running an obnoxious campaign in support of Kryten, with the gracious favor of the mighty Vindaloovian Empire. The threat made by Dalek Sec seemed to turn things against my candidate, however, and toward me instead. (This was quite probably the origin of the now infamous "Sec's for Xanfor" movement.) Were you saving that song for the POTM Xanfor? Um, no. I was inspired by FHM and Frisco17's prompting at 6:15 and 6:30 Central European Time, respectively. I know the original song by heart, so the only thing it cost me was some time. Like posting on PEEL in general, totally worth it!

Since people liked the song, I fixed some errors I found in it. I'd probably faint if I read futurefreak's book and found out a mistake of mine had made it to print!
Also, I am ashamed that only one person has voted for Nutmeg so far: me. I'd do something more about this, but like I mentioned, last time I tried something like that it backfired horribly.

Just putting this here.
A little off topic so back on, I voted Xanfor, not sure why i'm not on this enough to see who actually posts the best, or whatever this thing is about. But he seems alright so.
