I just have to respond to Bridget's message. I'm a relatively new frufan, and as an even newer lurker to this ng, I want to say that I've never felt left out. I think that Bridget's comments were very appropriate. What appears to be "clique-ish" to some, is the kind of enthusiasm that develops when you go to a concert and meet fellow fans in line or at the concert. That became very apparent to me after attending my first concert. There really is a camaraderie that develops from the shared interest and appreciation for this band. Living in Iowa, where we have little to no opportunity to see MF, the person I sympathize most with is the new "listener" from Australia. Unless s/he's made of lots of money (and don't we all wish we were!), the chance to see the band live may not come up very quickly (though it'd be great if they could make it over into the next hemisphere!). However, you are welcome aboard to this ng, and I hope you enjoy us all. I think it's great that such a diverse group of people can come together over one common bond (MF) and have such a good time. In some cases the band may become the first common bond, but for most of us it will be the only one. Yet that is something that pulls us all together. Personally, I do not like tofu (in spite of spending a summer in Taiwan and trying it in many different forms), and my love of cheese is pretty run-of-the-mill. I have NO IDEA of some of the things our Canadian friends are talking about, but it's still fun to chat, read, and maybe contribute. This ng is something pretty out of character for me, but it's really the light spot (and sometimes the highest!) in my day. I always look forward to coming here and I even enjoy the healthy discussions and differences of opinions. You all keep me young! (I'm not THAT old, but probably older than most of you, except maybe the person who knows who Timothy Leary is!)

Matter of fact, in several recent conversations/emails I swore I was staying out of this very one. But then a moment of weakness overtakes me, and I just fall into yet another thorny dispute... Maybe it's just 'cause I have no discipline. Maybe it's 'cause I'm too wrapped up in this ng and need to get a life. Maybe it's 'cause I like to run off at the mouth (fingertips). I dunno. I thought of taking my concern about this thread backchannel rather than plaguing *all* of you with opinion -- but sometimes I think backchannel kibbitzing, if it veers into ng concerns (and not just mutual interests that maybe were brought up on the ng but are really of particular interest among just a few people) just feeds into the divisive mentality that's being alleged here. Nothing on this topic -- the civility or lack thereof on the ng -- applies just to some people, so it belongs in the public forum, not just among the people I think might care what i think for one reason or another. At any rate, after a fresh round of misunderstandings and bickerings and personality conflicts, accusations of cliquishness and faux bonhomie on amm-f have raised their heads again, and I for one am just weary of it. We're a big group. Not as big as some, but far bigger than we were in the fairly recent past -- and getting ever bigger. In big groups, some degree of subsetting is bound to exist -- and not everyone has to be bestest friends in order to keep it a civil, lively, informative board. Can't we just be mature about this? I know, i know. :) I think it would help if we recognized and acknowledged the obvious: that yes, in some ways this group *is* highly atypical of Usenet. Many of us know each other in real life as well as via ng banter. Some of us knew each other long before the ng existed. Some of us do non-Früvous things together, and/or have built friendships based on outside interests. That's been one of the most rewarding aspects of amm-f for me -- but I do think it's where a LOT of the confusion and initial trepidation comes in for those who are newer to the group, or who have drawn fire based on what they thought was an innocent observation, or who haven't met people on the ng in real life, and maybe have no desire to do so. They come to amm-f thinking it's a discussion group for fans of Moxy Früvous, but soon find that there seems to be a *lot* of personal history among some ng people, which can sometimes factor heavily into discussions becoming arguments becoming, in some recent cases, divisions of armed (with words only, thank goodness) camps. I don't think that these friendships necessarily indicate cliquishness, but they certainly can *lead* to it, if one falls into the assumptions that go with thinking "our group", "their group", "I don't like him, so if you acknowledge him or his posts in any way that means you're choosing his side not mine." In an ideal world all of us would have moved beyond that mentality, but in the heat of debate/argument/flames one does tend to regress back to it. And that's where things get out of control, and namecalling and backstabbing starts, and the fortifications grow heavier. And then we *do* start to split -- and what once was a group of people who were comfortable with each other; who had varying degrees of closeness to each other but basically was very non-judgmental and willing to let others find their place in the group -- to converse openly with all persons whose discussions interested them regardless of who else they knew/associated with -- now starts to think in terms of "whose people" someone -- even a newcomer who may not know ANYBODY on the ng and is just trying to make a place for him/herself --seems to be aligning with. Which I find sad. It's hard enough for people new to any group to acclimate to the rhythm and flow of discussion, to feel comfortable joining in a conversation, and to become a blip on the radar of the regulars so that they are acknowledged within the discussion and feel like a part of the group. Not everybody enters the group after lurking for the requisite two weeks and then introducing themselves as a newbie and getting an official welcome from Maria or Chad or Nicole or.... Some people do just fall in -- I was one of them. Others make awkward entrances. That they get off to a rough start, and may draw some initial criticism, doesn't mean they don't deserve a chance to carve out a place for themselves here. And having politics enter into it -- which is imo what this ng is veering into -- just makes it that much harder. We're risking the type of charged environment where if someone crosses one person, whether intentionally or inadvertently, s/he also crosses all of that person's "allies". Ultimately, I think that doesn't give very much credit to ourselves or our friends -- why do we have to defend another perfectly competent ng member against what *we* perceive as an attack on them, when if they feel attacked they can defend themselves? That's the nature of discussion -- people disagree. Sometimes they *don't* get along and never will. That doesn't mean we need to assemble gangs of "our people" and "their people". That reduces rational discussion to a schoolyard brawl. Anyway, overall, I tend to think you reap what you sow in an ng or anywhere else. If someone, doesn't matter whether they're a newbie or a regular, views an ng -- or any other group of people -- aggressively, critically, and spouts combative opinions without showing any concern or consideration or respect for the opinions or feelings of those already there, without even bothering to find out what those opinions/feelings are before they start spouting, and without being willing to admit when they don't know something, were mistaken, or perhaps said something truly offensive even though they didn't intend to, then that person can't really expect others to give their opinions or feelings much credit either. Furthermore, if someone expects a group to be cliquish, and expects to feel like an outsider amid those "cliques", then that is what they will experience -- and help to create. They will spend most of their time trying either to find an accepting clique or to form one of their own, in the process eliminating a whole bunch of others based on the groups they seem to belong to. OTOH, if they give others a chance *as individuals* -- if they don't put down others and their behavior without even bothering to get to know them, if they don't reduce them to the labels borne by the groups they seem to circulate in -- they might build some very rewarding relationships. They might also find some people they really, genuinely, can't get along with and don't wish to bother trying -- but by viewing them as individuals, at least they're not cutting off everyone else that one person might ever have had a civil conversation with. This is not the 3rd grade. This is a newsgroup composed of teenagers and adults, all of whom are interested in one band, and a significant number of whom have great affection for at least some of the other ng members. It would be nice if we remember that, and acted accordingly instead of launching full assaults everytime someone writes something we find questionable. Question it by all means -- but a question doesn't have to be an angry, bitter attack. It might just be necessary to point out sloppy writing, or lazy reading, or misinformation, or unintentional ambiguity.
