Busyman, for being gay, but still cool. ;) [/b][/quote]
Oh you stop it...just stop it ...silly willy you :smilie4:

OK OK something positive about a member?

Ok..

Mine is HUGE&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :01:

So, letz carry on woth thiz chicken soup for the soul. Fabulous&#33;

Hobbes, for the strangest avatars ...

http://www.uploadit.org/BillyDean/hob.jpg

I&#39;ll forego touting my buddies-they all know who they are.

I&#39;d just like to recognize and emphasize the positive, inquisitive curiousity everyone is capable of; some of my happiest moments have come when someone who gets a rep turns around and surprises with an unexpected sentiment, or gives a compliment, or notes a good point made, or just contributes in a way that indicates genuine exchange.

For me, there are several members who I have a strange kind of synergy with; we don&#39;t agree on anything, and to name them would lack grace, not because they need to be turned out, but because we find ourselves communicating indirectly, by virtue of an aside, a word, a phrase or remark, and knowing full well that the message is passed and received only because we read each other&#39;s stuff.

I can think of one right now, who has posted in this thread.

There are many more-the ones you circle warily, but, as I said, never communicate directly with, possibly out of fear of a blow-up.

As my very good friend Hobbes has noted, time on this board has the effect of moderating (appropriate word, that) our first impulses in order to accomodate others, even in such instances that invite disagreement.

I look forward to exchanges, even though I get a bit preachy at times.

Believe me, I&#39;m working on that-if I can&#39;t make a point in such a way as to disarm the negative response, I&#39;m not succeeding in the least.

I don&#39;t look to score points, but I do look to make them, and I am aware that I raise hackles constantly, but if you are trying to convince somebody of something, that is a fait accompli.

This board is a place for exchanges of all types, and the fact of it&#39;s international flavor would be shocking, I think, to someone who was somehow unaware of the fact.

We who post here are well aware of our differences, but we become more adept every day at communicating; I think an observer would be amazed at how easily and well we do what we do, given our variety.

It is a pleasure to be a member of this board, and I salute you all.

Wait&#33;

I will take the opportunity to single out Busyman, whose demographic, at least superficially, doesn&#39;t fit this board:

He&#39;s a proud, young, hip, happenin&#39;, urban, smart, black, (Busy) man who has figured out how this board works in record time.

He is engaged in an outward, rather than an inward, fashion.

I wouldn&#39;t have spotted him for one who would last when he arrived here (kind of a rocky start, I think :) ), but he has extended himself, and become an asset in fairly short order.

I have a special empathy with him, because he suffers from the same affliction I do:

We both insist on being right, and we don&#39;t mind if others don&#39;t like it. :D

It has been my pleasure to watch it happen. ;)

To Martha, the ancient Canadian crone - for being as mad as a feckin snake, or indeed a bag of frogs.

More importantly for sending a lot of us in the direction of soulseek. In the process getting me over 1,000 full albums. But more importantly letting me get albums which my two eldest want allowing me a small amount of cool in my decrepit years.

Slainte mate and look after those cats.

I dont have the link for soulseek. Could someone type it up for me. I have tried to get a few things on here recently with no success. :)

Thanks Hobbes,
My pregnancy kit said something positive about me a few months again. :P

Well done on another intresting and caring topic,
The board would be a duller place without you. :)



Also, OMC, thanks for everything.
Haven&#39;t seen you in a while, and wanted to say how caring and helpful you have been. Ta. ;)

Just a little *bump* for a worthwhile thread and my buddy Hobbes. :)

Id like to say a special thank you To Slinger for helping me out with some stuff lately. :flowers:
Also: Dutchie, Sir Liam and Face... thank you :)


:*

Hobbes, for giving us this thread. He should be canonised.

Or do I mean anodised? Just being positive. :P

oh, is this negative meant or positive? I never want to spam... hope you did not get wrong impression ;(

positive :D

I think for me it would have to be lynx, for his humour. Also for so often baffling me with his correct answers in Riddler&#39;s threads; his answers were often more difficult to understand than the Riddler&#39;s riddle ... :)

But there are many more members that deserve a mention.....

:huh: I have not said anything Positive about anybody in this Thread yet.Hmmmmm.Let me think here.http://members.shaw.ca/wenpigsfly/smileys/g.gif

nigel, I forgot to mention you as well and your nice radio shows with live in
between shows ;) I listen still to it ;) and it makes me happy hearing the
"internet.news, are you standing by?" ;) This makes me feeling not so lonely here
and makes me happy sometimes...

nigel, my mother loved the music you was playing on K++ Radio ;)
She wanted to know a name of one artist, but I did not know it ;(

And I also have to say a great thanks to all the ppl who mention how to say
things in a way that does not hurt. Yeah, I also am happy on myself and on other
when I manage to be opened in a way that does not hurt so much as it is difficult.

I would like to make a big mention for the weemouse, my diminutive pal.

I have never seen her post anything negative about anything or anybody. She is a beacon of good nature and positive attitude.

Dinner is on me.

I would like to thank Jpol for his lack of pretention and his durable and reliable service to cheeses worldwide.

Thank you bunny boy.

I think it is obvious I find pretension repugnant. I appreciate you corroborating my self image.

Not that I require extenal validation, obviously.

Hey, can I say something nice about myself? If so, I am the best poster here.

internet.news. I read all his posts as if he were Fernando from the GTA games (can&#39;t help it&#33; ;) ) and it gives me a laugh :D

what laugh?

It&#39;s good, man. Don&#39;t worry about it&#33; :D

Evil Gemini is the best at everything&#33;

Could those wrapped up in themselves please go jack off elsewhere.

This thread is for secure people who can actually express gratitude or thanks to another without needing external validation of their own worth.

I would like to thank Clocker for not cooking me in that pot of boiling water on his stove.

A special mention to Hobbes, for his good intentioned, but ultimately doomed attempt to run a thread without the usual idiots fucking it up. Nice try mate. ;)

Thanks to Fatbastard, who tolerates my idealistic tendancies without getting fed up and telling me to "get a clue".

Here is to idealism, and all the idealists here.

Another good point, sir.

A general well done to Unspecified, for expressing their own opinion and not just jumping on bandwagons or hunting with the pack.

Thanks for truly sharing openly.

Riddler, for providing a seemingly never-ending stream of puzzles and brainteasers (and a few riddles) for us all. Hope he sees this someday :blink:

Agreed. I found an old thread with loads of riddles from this guy and was entertained for hours :D

Also, muchspl2... he has some pretty amusing posts that I&#39;ve caught on many occasions.

SharedHolder - I believe everyone knows why.
