The anonymous source behind Sophia Narwitz' article regarding a political "clique" in games journalism, has spoken! Maybe. (That's the trouble with anonymity.)

What does the supposed source's anonymous Blogspot post say about what they intended to convey?

How does the alleged "clique" operate, and what are its effects?

How might we all might be better served in our communications both within and outside the industry?

And With a few more personal anecdotes from us (who has seen more than our share of these issues in only the past few years on social media).

It may be clique-bait, but it's not click-bait...in Virtual Legality.
