Considering that people have said over and over that the admins are wrong about there being "cliques" I would have to say then that there is not an "in crowd" so don't expect to be part of it

Seriously, don't take comments or lack there of as  any sign of anything.  Just write what you want to write and comment on things that interest you.  With the numbers of articles generated per day, there is the very real possibility that many people won't even see your article unless they go to your blog.  It takes awhile before people decide to put you on their "rounds" of blogs to read.

And, about the "fitting in".  Do people really care if they "fit in" or not?  I sure as heck am not going to write differently or state my views differently just to fit in.  If people don't like me, that's fine.  At least I know that the people who do like me actually like *me* and not some fake shell I have produced.

Jess:

If it's any consolation, I do read your blogs, but as of late, all of my commenting has been minimal.  Keep on writing, and if I think of anything profound to say, I'll contribute!

Controversy will create comments. Compare my non-controversial entries to ones in which I ridicule an entire group's beliefs, and you'll be known.

Your thought is wrong.  I responded because of something that had been said before, and that had to do with my ranking.

Believe whatever you want, dude.  I know what I meant, because I wrote it. Unless you were there inside my head, you're just guessing and/or assuming.
