There is no CORE group--- that's just something people say when they feel rejected in some way. I think it's a natural reaction to see people disagreeing or discussing things as being "aligned" against you as a newcomer. I know I have felt it on other threads and usually am hesitant in a new place until I feel more comfortable with the unwritten rules of behavior every thread has.

The only original poster here is me, I think, (exclusive club of one!!) with X, LLR and Del following soon after...unless DEl got here the same time as I- I don't remember. All of us have argued and disagreed with each other plenty over the last four years.

What changed - at least in my eyes-- was that the marauding group came in and began hurling insults right and left, sort of like jla's posts this weekend. IF there is no content, no ideas, then it can only be destructive. And it invites reciprocation. Why wouldn't it?

But the accusation of cliquishness or exclusivity is without merit, and indeed, posters who enjoy discussing issues and are either very diplomatic or else thickskinned, usually wind up staying.
Then they can get called CORE too.
