I hear the comments .... I think I'm much like GingerV ... I bring my own issues to my place in this forum .... I've been confronted with cliques most of my life in one form or another ... at 47 yrs of age, I've come to accept that has to do with the way we humans socialize ... if there's more than 3 people involved, then a heirchy seems to form .... you can accept it, you can work to change it from within or you may choose to walk away from it .... For the most part I tend to combine the first and second of those options ... I accept that each of us will pick and choose who we allow into our emotional proximity .... and the closer we allow them to be, the pickier we are likely to be about who they are and how they are. Pixies is a very large group of members .... for the most part only 1-2% are really active at any given time ... but that still means 100-200 people ... which is still a fairly significant number of people to deal with in a social situation. I share certain things in common with almost all of the people of pixies ... I am a member, I am a human, I am a sexual and sensual being..... after that I think we have more individualities ...

Sorry that some feel the need to leave, but that being the case, I wish you well in your life journey and hope you find happiness on the path you choose.
