Does anyone else find it funny...

...that on this forum there are all these little niche groups of posters who tend to stick to thier area and avoid venturing too far out of it. It's almost like Shroomery is comprised of a bunch of little cliques that are only vaguely aware of each other. I'm a P&S kinda gal, but then there are all these posters in other areas that I don't recognize despite thier 2000 posts. Everyone has thier little place and is content there. This is the case to the point where I think most of us are more inclined to post slightly off topic threads in the place we like than venture into the unfamilar mob outside. I'd rather post something crappy (like this) here and get P&S regulars responding than post to the Pub and get who the hell knows!? For the sake of keeping this on topic - does this parallel social relations in the real world?

Once you are initiated into The Brotherhood, everything becomes more clear; and while the membership is few and legion, you will feel the circle expanding into the far reaches of the cosmos.
We have our eye on you, but you are not yet ready. Be patient.
Namaste.

This is evident in every aspect of social behavior. We hold our own unique interests and invest our energy in areas that best supply us with that which we seek.

Thusly, my role as a moderator is to inspire social behavior, like walking along and pushing people standing near the wall out onto the dance floor.
You might like to stand and congregrate with your buddies in front of that fire exit, but I'm all like fuck that nigga.

I've already answered this above, but yes.
This is the "real world".

The only parts of the board that I post in are: The Psychedelic Experience, Other Drugs Discussion, The Pub, Philosophy & Spirituality, and Music, Art, & Literature. Reason being that they pertain to my interests.

Exactly. You would only make friends at a car show if you were into cars, right? So basically, a board harbors a topic of general interest. And regardless of how broad this is, you can still round down a group of people that you will probably get along with on the basis that you have that particular interest in common.

I post around a bit. But I get your point. Most of the rest of the forums hold little interest for me. Just like the "real" world. Mostly I stick to my little world. Fuck the rest of those idiots.
