I've not noticed bullying or those of us outside of a percieved clique to ever be shouted down at all. Plenty of disagreements and a salting of idiotic contributions after people painted themselves into a corner but I haven't noticed a 'hard-core-poster' single voice on anything.
I agree with you there mate, I think people take themselves a little to seriously at times and other get a bit precious, it just an internet forumn after all. Lets just have the crack and not worry to much if people don't like it or get their backs up.
Defo a power ranking imo. I just class it as the premier league, top 6/7, middle 6/7 and those dredging the bins at the bottom of the league. Like me.
Can't say I've noticed a clique on here. You do get people who seem to agree with each other all the time and there is defiantly leaders and followers. That's life though, isn't it. From my own point of view whether I'm considered a regular or not, I do know I've had far more falling out's with regulars than newbies. That said I don't dislike any regular posters and I'm always happy to see new names crop up.
I dont contribute as much as I used to, but certainly don't think there's a divide. Much I would say is said for me. I used to love comin on for a quick one-line joke or put-down. I love this board and the SAFC supporters on it. I'm just lazy! xxx
Of course there is a divide, there are some who are on here all day everyday whether through work or lack thereof. Then there are the rest who are at work most of the time so rarely post, no conspiracy theories no bullying just down to actually getting on here.
After almost a year on here I do find there is a lot of repetition, but that's 'cos new bod's come on and think (like I probably did) they are saying something innovative or unique. Whatever. This is a place for SAFC fans to chat. Just keep it going. X
