Personally I thought the post starting 'long time lurker...' was a spoof, and a funny one.
It literally listed every single thing from the 'how to spot a flying monkey' guide.
It made me smile.
There is (in my opinion) a clique, there has been for a long time. However, it usually just rolls happily along. It only causes a problem when anyone mentions it, and there's a chorus of denial. It's not as sharply defined or defensive as it once was, which is probably why it doesn't cause many issues. It's probably impossible not to have within a large busy group tackling sensitive subjects.
Some people are being vilified for saying the same things that others are getting away with. Maybe some people are just on ignore by 97% of the posters (points at self, typing happily into the void).
Just thoughts. ..
