I think there will always be people you feel more comfortable with than others. Not because of anything more than stage of life, or shared experiences, or common backgrounds or values.
I dated one guy from high school on, and married him. So relationships are something I just don't get. I tend not to respond to those posts, and don't get to know the posters as well as people who post about hating their jobs, for example.
But that doesn't mean that it's a clique situation exactly. Since I'm equally likely to respond to similar posts no matter who makes them. And equally unlikely to respond to similar posts no matter who makes them.
I'll admit that if someone has consistently gone out of their way to be supportive to me in the past, I'll be more likely to post a response to them even if I'm feeling crummy at the moment and not responding much. That only seems fair and polite.
