I felt this was worth repeating.
Cliques exist, anyone denying it is delusional. However, cliques existing, in and of itself, is not inherently bad. They form because people enjoy the company of others with whom they've had positive experiences. They're getting what they want out of their group, so they have no need to open up their group to others.
It's akin to recruiting for companies/linkshells. Recruitment is open when more people are needed/wanted, and closed when that need/want is met (and to induct the new members into the "clique").
Good points were made on both sides of this discussion, so there's nothing to regret in regards to posting it.
My two cents... *shrugs and kicks the dead horse*
