Oh pffft! find a better word then, because what we have here isn't a clique!
yourdictionary.com provides a rather useful distinction between the most common synonyms, with examples, methinks. They don't all have identical meaning:
Fair dinkum. I've been around plenty of forums which truly ARE 'cliquey'. Anybody thinking that what happens in 50+ here is an instance of that perhaps needs to widen the outlook a bit, harden up a wee tad, and stop being too precious about it all. What happens in this forum section is reflective and typical of general social interaction anywhere. No more nor less than that.
My opinion

Is this an example of your smooth persuasive way of talking to women, as you were schooling me about a few weeks ago?

Personally, I'm not friendly to anyone here
Except for you - and you - and maybe you ---
Oh for goodness sake, get in line, haven't you heard of an orderly queue
Oy, you, you're barred. Now,where were we...
