Topic: We are in a Cult Posted: 15 Jan 2019 at 5:50pm |
Words mean something. "Cult Following" is not indicative of a Cult. I like family personally to describe us and not tribe or clan. Archaic.

I vote for "tribe" as the most accurate description. Cult, no for the reasons stated above by others, clan, well that implies a little too much inbreeding. Tribe on the other hand allows for the wide divergence of life styles, beliefs or lack thereof, ages, economic circumstances, etc. etc. that we have on this board. We're all a little nuts, to be sure, but not to the level of a cult.

I am glad to be in this cult and this forum is unique and a great source for all of us! |
Thanks for posting this! And I know it's all in fun, but I'm with TheBum ... we're a clan. Hearty agreement about the draw of RPods. Great features, compact package and price.

Agree that "cult" has a lot of negatives associated with the word. Alan, "clan" is much closer to what we have here or maybe "family" where you may certainly have differences but overall you all try to work together and support one another even when it's not easy or convenient.

Always wanted to be part of a cult. What a great sense of belonging. Who's bringing the kool-aid?
