clique (IPA:/'klɪk/) is an exclusive group of people who share common interests, views, purposes, or patterns of behavior. A clique is a subset of individuals from a larger group, who are more closely identified with one another than the remaining members of the group, and who exchange something among themselves, such as friendship, affection, or information.

A clique has an informal structure, and it is composed of more than two people. All the members of the group have some type of relationship with one another, and thus the group is tightly knit together as a type of social network.

Deb that is a fabulously copied definition and I agree with it wholeheartedly but I think these days clique goes further - I tried to add to a thread earlier and was really shot down in flames because I didn't fit

I'm the same as Rose......but they say fools rush in......I just add, if anyone is interested in what I have to say that's OK......and if not, that's OK too.....

I don't think you have to fit in Errol, whatever your views, they are yours and as valid as anyone elses.....

Yer Errol it is copied, it put it better than I could explaine.
I don't know how a clique nowadays is different than the definition????

I have no idea what thread you are talking about. Were there people on there that you have had a run in with before?

We have all been ignored on threads at one time or another. Don't take it personally.
