I get what you say DD, it really feels like that sometimes. Like there's an agenda and people aren't interested if you're outside that. But then you sometimes get a suprising comment made elsewhere that references your thoughts, and that's a huge compliment.
EXACTLY!!
I feel it's all getting so clicky and that if you not in a 'group' or a 'clique' that your an outsider and that your opinion is overlooked and just tossed to the side.
Unfortunately, that's how I've felt for... oh, about 5 - 6 months now and I've just had enough, hence the reason for not contributing much anymore. I say my congrats to those who announce a pregnancy and a birth, and offer hugs to those going through tough times because I know they like to know that someone is thinking bout them (which I often do. I often wonder how specific ppl - like BG - is going lately with their dramas)
But, I've stopped making threads (except for the BA that I posted for cherished and the soon to be BA for Miss K) because I just don't wanna put my foot in it.

I guess I've never said anything good, because no-one has ever referenced me in anything (unless you mean quoting)
