Whoa.....it also takes a friend to be one! A real one that is!
I do agree with @Hooty. There are some kind, honest, sincerely nice posters on these forums no matter where you post. There are also some that are very good at telling people what they want to hear and are not as pure and honest as they appear to be. I learned that the hard way. I tend to stay away from the cliques, the ooey, gooey, I love you threads, and the religious threads. To each his own.
Hi Catwhisperer! I think all of us are different and enjoy many different threads and forums, but I would not put a forum down as to say some are " not your friends", because some may read this thread and get hurt feelings by comments here! Also to say they are "in their own little club". To me, those kind of comments are unnecessary and make you wonder why the " dig" in the first place!
Have a great day, Catwhisperer!
@shell garden...maybe the "dig" has to do with a poster not feeling accepted by a certain group of posters. I have seen new posters attempt to join particular threads, post once or twice, then never return. Comments that some may feel are "unnecessary", may just be a poster expressing how they feel. Some people just tell like they see it.

Real friends are people you talk to in the flesh. People you *know*, the good and the bad, by being aware of how they live their *whole* life, not just the bits and pieces of themselves they choose to "show" strangers on an internet forum. It's very easy to project what one chooses to project.
It's quite possible to project onesself as kind, wouldn't hurt a fly, loves everyone, never says a harsh word, donates to charity, goes to church twice a week and all the other things that make one a "perfect person" and a "real friend" in the eyes of some.
But just get one of these "perfect people" angry enough and it all goes out the window. I've seen it, and smiled wryly to myself. Sweetie-pie, indeed.
People you meet on the internet are not your friends. They are people you met on the internet, with whom you have pleasant conversations & enjoy sharing - UNTIL there's a disagreement, which is when you will see the "real" person - whom you may or may not actually even like.
I prefer the bumpier, less glossy and superficial but ultimately more honest and meaningful to me, road.

But, some people don't think of others as we all know!
I couldn't agree more ..... you are my true friend for life. I am hoping one day to give you a big ole real hug

Hi, @shell garden! While I agree we have to be a friend, too, I do agree with @Hooty, because she said not everyone there is your friend. I think all of us have encountered that reality at one time or another.

@catwhisperer, I've seen what you mention. It does happen, there can be long-standing threads which don't seem accepting of a poster who's new to the thread. I've not only seen it, it's happened to me before. After a few tries, even with pleasant or simply conversational posts (not controversial), it's uncomfortable to be overlooked on a thread... but then, sometimes it's not intentional. It might be that a thread is moving quickly, people are distracted, who knows. But yes, it happens.
