Are You Chatting At Me!

Yes, I think a hierarchy of sorts exists.

I think I rate at the bottom of the pile.

Posting on a bulletin board such as A2K and spouting opinions is much like driving down the highway and giving the finger to the stranger in the other car who cut you off. We are all anonymous and know that we can say whatever outrageous thing we want to the other guy/gal (within limits set by the moderators) without getting punched in the nose.

Here, posters can be whomever they portray themselves to be. While I've only been on A2K for a short time, I've seen statements made by some posters and I can't believe they honestly mean some of the outrageous things they say.

Is there a hierarchy here? I don't know. I haven't been here long enough to give an educated opinion about that. I can say, however, that the last bulletin board I posted on, definately had a hierarchy and an inpenetratible clique.

I'm not sure where I fit in yet. I might need to use a shoe horn.

I think different areas have their own hierarchies - depending on how much people know about their area, or, in the chat areas, how engaging and funny and such they are.

this sounds true, on a site as large as a2k you should be able to find others of your own ilk and build your own hierarchies.

"ilk" seems to be the word of the day.

Bilk that ilk, tote that barge.

Me, I think a2k is pretty good for some camaraderie between people who disagree a lot on any given day.
