Ah Becca, I see what you mean.
But honestly, we weren't writing them off as people at all (maybe apart from one or two people and thats their own personal choice), we are writing off the idea as meeting up as a club just to chat - as we all think that it won't go down so well - I'm not saying there is going to be any problems if the two clubs do meet. As you all well know, Mitsi clubs and Subie clubs are never massive fans of each other, it's just the way it is.
Seriously though, my previous statement still exists - if we do go for a meet with MMC or likewise it should be on the track for a mini-competition of sorts - I think that will boost club relations far beyond starting around looking at each others rides.
And TBH, I have met them, I used to be apart of them, I don't really like them - so don't say I can't like them because that's a personal opinion I have towards their club/certain people within the club. I'm not scared if they outshine me, it's not like it's hard with my Gravel Express.. LOL.
