Since being exposed to the Blogs, Polls and Threads, I have noticed something I find very significant:
If it is a long standing member, most will reply in their favour, and the member expects it too.
While if it is a not so well-known member, a lot of controversy is displayed.

I wonder why?

How do you know who is a "long standing member" and who is not?... unless you have been here a while yourself?

You, and your friends, called me all sorts, what are you doing now?

Isn't that how things work in real life too? Perhaps it's the difference between having been accepted as a member of the club and still being in the probationary, testing stage.

Could you please clarify to whom you are referring?? And what I have called you?
I am merely pointing out that the system does not show how long people have been on the site...
The only way of knowing is by being here a long time.
And you seem to have been here for some time.

To me jumping on the band wagon would mean to support a cause only because it is popular to do so. If you 'jump on the bandwagon' that is.
Which I don't believe I do even if my original intentions were't to do so.Yes believe it or not I'm not flawless.

It sometimes feels like it but when I see some people say how many years the've been here I feel like a newcomer. I've been here long enough to establish my friends and enemies, although there's always room for more of either, especially the enemies. grin

I'm surprised you have to ask that. Of course she's been here for a long time and she's a friend of mine.

I know, but it's taking some people a long time to realise it.
