The thing that I don't get about the whole "clique" perception is that it's so ridiculously easy to join the "inner circle" that I have a hard time feeling sorry for folks that feel left out. And I'm frankly surprised at some of the folks that do feel left out since my perception is that they're part of the inner circle.
I think that the problem here is perception, and I don't know how to change that. One of my favorite sayings about this place is that perception is reality. If you think you're on the outside you are. If you think you're in, you're in. There's not much that the staff can ever do to change that.
