The thread has wandered from the original intent, as often happens, sometimes for the good, sometimes not. Anyway the original intent of the thread was to expand upon the point brought out in another thread about the "boys club" (sorry jjj) being a discouragement from people posting. I simply pointed out that the boys club sometimes act a bit like bullies and discourage everyone from posting that isn't part of the clique.
I believe that this is the case, it certainly is for me and the other several people that have contacted me personally or through the thread. The example given was probably not well chosen.
On the subject of "once you get to know these people face to face, you'll feel more comfortable". What makes you think that if I feel uncomfortable online I would attend a star party where the organiser is probably one of these same people. About as welcome as a Nun at an orgy methinks.
Cheers
