From
the Brunching Shuttlecocks
:
Sjöberg
's
Law
of
Public
Cliquishness
Any
unmoderated public discussion space
, no matter what the
ostensible
subject
, will eventually
attract
a
clique of contributors
who will use the
space
primarily to
discuss
their
personal lives
and
trade
in-jokes
. In
addition
, it will attract at least
one
regular contributor
who will
make
it his or her
goal
to
harass
and
harangue
the other
regulars
.
