I don't think the Gilgamesh server is a clique. A fair amount of members on this site feel strongly enough about the issue to want another server choice. The various threads about it are proof of that. Rock was just vocal and proactive about it.
Some RPC members decide that they don't want to join an existing community, but start their own group, due to various reasons (economy, levels, achievements, fresh-start, etc). That is a clique.
Here's a better definition: a narrow exclusive circle or group of persons; especially : one held together by common interests, views, or purposes.
It is a clique. As RPers, we exist in a clique already in the larger XIV community. Clique-ception (stolen from Shippuu).
My point is, as was in my original post, that they are everywhere. The least we can do is acknowledge it and not be hypocrites.
