I have that problem, but my ophthalmologist says that my glasses
correct my vision as well as is feasible[1]. After having to repair
two detached retinas, I should be happy that I can recognize anybody
face to face. All: if I seem to not notice you, it may be because
you're a blur; try coming closer.

Ah, yes, the snubbing threads.

Probably to snub[2] the newbies.

Possibly chickens coming home to roost. I would have talked to you,
but I imagine some others are irritated at your repetitive claims of
cliquishness.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. You are not only
boycotting the regulars who allegedly ignored you; you are also
boycotting readers who have not done so.
[1] With the exception of cataract surgery, which I'd like to
avoid if possible.
[2] Inside joke; if you're new, search the archives for "snub".
