    You mean to tell me that you have to ask such a question?

    I thought it was obvious. Do you really want me to go through that stuff again ?

    ;) :D :p

    Cliques are for 6th and 7th grade girls. And Manny. :D



    Do you guys say "we (the clutch community) have a Bulls fan amongst us"

    or do you say "A Bulls fan posts on our board??"

    Honestly, gettinbranded, I don't really think about it.

    I know that some people may not like me saying this, but I think that you have done a better job in not being so inflammatory.

    When you posted some ridiculous thread in the Rockets forum about Francis leaving to go to the Wizards, you should be expecting people to slap you upside the head and consider you an "outsider". However, as other posters who root for other teams like Swopa, mrpaige, and the Nuggets guys - NugzFan and Nuggets 4, they have shown, at least to me, to bring up interesting points in threads. Just because they are not Rockets fans doesn't mean that I'm not going to read their posts. I feel that some of these guys, mrpaige, especially, are some of the better posters on the BBS.

    As long as you cut out the trolling ****, I think that you do a good job. However, I rarely post or even read the main Rockets forum...I just stick with the Hangout and the Fantasy sometimes the NBA Dish. So, I don't know if you are still acting controversial in that forum, but it doesn't seem like you are acting that way here.

    Do you seriously care if we consider you an outsider or not?

    Would it change your behavior even slightly?

    I find your posts amusing sometimes, but how can I consider you, when I don't know you.

    No one here REALLY knows each other, it is our BBS persona.

    Most people are a lot more brave behind a keyboard then in real life. Me included.

    :D

    As you're a Bulls fan, I feel it would be cruel to say "Yes, you're an outsider". Like kicking a man when he's already down.

    I don't always agree with your gobbledygook, but I do like most of it. If for nothing else than the entertainment value. :)

    And I respect anyone who can piss the masses off. :p

    Unless there really is some Ultra-Secret Band of BBS Insider Cool Dudes Clique that we don't know about, you're just as much of and no more of an outsider as everyone else here. It's a BBS, man...

    When someone anyone comes to this board, they are an outsider, until they prove they can converse with some semblance of knowledge (or at least passion). But, most of the visitors (especially those who stick around) have one thing in common..... we're Rocket fans, duh.

    You don't have that luxury, neither does the couple Nugget fans we have scurrying around in here, but you're working your way in. If it means anything, I don't see a thread or a post by you and go, "Ugh, not this idiot again" (as some probably do with me). So, that has to count for something (in my book anyways).

    There's no real "clique", but there is a "community".

    So, to answer your question more directly, neither. You were an outsider and you're becoming a member, IMO.
