I guess I will respond now. I kept silent through the whole rds issue because I felt he was wrong to try to call members out and blow the situation between Rich and Pru WAY out of proportion.

For me I felt the same way as some other members when they started out. "How am I going to produce the same high quality work?" So it took me a while to become comfortable with replying to threads and posting pictures and I admit that I have a long way to go. But I have received nothing but encouragement from the "older" member. I even miss the old days of the chat room rich started last year.

I think that the "clique" issue started when Blowtorch blew a propane tank after that weird contest. I think that situation made us all cautious with the word "clique" and we have been afraid of being accused of having different cliques ever since. I agree with Fel. This whole site of Joe collectors is one big clique, and I am just fine with that. If people want to get their feelings hurt over action figures, then that is there problem.
Peace
