    Shame you feel that way. I think there’s a great level of camaraderie on here. A disparate family that often bicker, it would be boring any other way.

    Can’t agree there’s even a hint of racism here at all and Diane Abbot, really?

    To my mind the forum is a poorer place without most of the posters, even some of the old fruitcakes that were ultimately banned.

    Try and make it a short break eh?

    Being honest, I just haven't made the effort to find a better QPR forum. Maybe I will, one day.

    The thing I like least about this message board is that it's so cliquey. I can spend time writing a well thought out post and no one interacts with it. But then occasionally someone who is part of "the crew" will quote reply it saying something as simple as "yeah, agreed." and they get a number of likes and replies.

    Sometimes it's like you're invisible if you're not one of the clique. In that respect, I have myself to blame for even bothering.

    Oh, and I agree with the tone... it can be really childish and bigoted here with attitudes towards women, non-straight people, immigrants, etc.

    We should make a clique. I was recently informed I’m not part of the clique I thought I was :(

    You had me till your last paragraph.
    I really don't see any racism on here, although there's plenty of accusations of it.
    Apart from one poster, who shall remain un-named, I don't see any homophobia either.

    It can be a bit cliquey at times, but isn't that just like real life? I mean, if we all met up one day, we would all eventually gravitate to those with similar views to our own, possibly to the detriment of ignoring the viewpoints of others.

    I've trawled round a couple of the other fan forums, and they all suffer from the same clique-ness, and some are far worse than here for the bitching that goes on.

    You make some very valid points during the matchday threads, and obviously have a keen eye for tactics which I for one find interesting, so don't stop with your observations.

    I'll join your clique, Watford. I don't seem to be in one either.

    I've seen no bad attitudes to women or non-straights. It's perfectly acceptable to debate immigration - Gordon Brown tried to say it was bigoted, and he was rightly shot down in flames.

    There is a dedicated thread which pretty much mocks certain parts of the LGBTQ community.

    I might take a peek at all the threads, QPR is all that matters.
    I have known a lot of QPR supporters who I have not got along with, but they are still in the family.
