I had hoped to have finished with this, but ...

There seem to be lots of "experts" & people who have been around a long time, who keep telling me that it's wonderful here & I'm mistaken. As always - those that are part of the problem, denying there is a problem.

It would be interesting to hear the views of anyone else who has been here for around as long as I have, i.e. not long. Am I wrong in feeling that the place is very cliquey, not so welcoming to newcomers & intolerant of views that do not match those of the "inner sanctum".
