Quote:

A while back I did an experiment. I wanted to know If I could get honest feedback from the "Showcase" posters. I took 15 minutes and created the WORST possible song I could create and posted it. I milked it in just the way I notice the clique do and posted a few positive comments on their work. Click Here to jump to the thread.





what you call cliques, I see as the bond between people who have made an honest effort to get along with others in a world where we don't all share the same opinions. If you've spent any time here at all, you've no doubt seen some long threads filled with respectful disagreement. There is honesty in that, and honesty leads to trust, which leads to friendship and collaboration.

What you're describing in the quote above comes across to me as a disingenuous act intending to "prove" an unfavorable pre-judgment of the group. I have a hard time thinking up a reason to get friendly with a person who would admit to setting us up.

Where's the trust in that?
