Compliment The Person Above You
« on: February 02, 2004, 11:20:16 PM »
I've had a pretty bad day.  Nothing big, just a lot of little factors adding up.  I'm starting this to try to spread some cheer.  The only rule is that you must give an honest compliment to the person who has posted above you.  Be sincere, please (this means you, Saint).

Since there is no post above me, I'll compliment TWG.  I lurked here for a long, long time before I actually posted and ever since I have I think I've been addicted.  I visit a lot of message boards and this is by far and away my favorite.  It's one of the few boards I've actually got to know people on.  The reviews of the site itself drew me in, along with the Talisman article.  I've tried to give a little bit back review-wise, but wish I could write more.

The best compliment I can give TWG is that it fulfils its mission statement.  Like now, for instance, when I should be working through contact lens problems, I'm here typing this.

Dr. P is a pretty good guy. Don't know too much about him, but he's a cool dude. I thank him for his Avast Ye campaign. A basket of fun in a basket of chicken fingers. mmmmm


Edit: I don't want to cut in line or anything, but fuzzy, thats the nicest thing anyone's ever said about me. Thanks. I feel a lot better. :)

Gemm is really nice to his friends and is very spontaneous and creative.

Fuzzys got a nice personality and she likes way cool spiffy stuff... oh and the Pandas kind of Snazzy too....\

Gemms a nice guy, if a little immature, but he's loyal, smart and occasionally funny.

Mr. Pleasingtons a great guy, friendly creative and one heck of a Dancer....

TWG is great fun.

Mad Dr. Jeffe always has interesting things to say and I like reading his responses, especially in the Rant section.

If it weren't for Brenna, I wouldn't know any of you here. She's welcoming and friendly, and I'm glad she's been my friend all these years.

SE is a pretty cool guy. Not as cool as Mr Man, granted, but then who is? He has somehow managed to survive for 30 years in america without getting shot by a high school kid, which you have to give him kudos for. And he puts up with my moronic behaviour on MSN, and generally has a fairly intelligent response. Plus, he is a useful guy to know when you have questions about roleplaying games, history, or literature.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Entropy is... well he's surreally witting at times. And he sure can smack the newest of noobs. Overall... there's a basket just waiting for him somewhere, filled with something special probably. He's also hard to compliment.

Gemm is probably the most interesting person I know, and I mean that in a good way. Sure he'll say something completely random out of the blue occasionally, but that just helps you to have a different perspective on things.

Being the Newbie (as onion doesn't come around much...), I don't really know a lot about anyone.  You all seem like fine people, though, or I wouldn't spend most of my waking hours here...I mean, today I almost took lunch in the library to read up on this site and the message boards just cause their so friggin' adicting... but then I decided I have to eat or rot away and die whilst on a computer reading statements from many a person.  It was a tough choice, though.  Maybe tommorrow...

Anyway, Jam hasn't posted a lot since I've been here (it's been less than a week so it's hard to really get the gist of people's personalities).  But he seems to be intelligent enough to hold his own...

i admire the wonder cow for putting up with our $#!+ and getting to know us, and being willing to take a suggestion eventually rather than keep getting more mad.

The way I see it, if you dish it out you should be able to take it.  And boy do I dish it out.  Hey Saint, I admire the fact you were willing to put up with my ignorance to the social formation, if it were, in the beggining.

Gorgon, despite the hazing we initially gave him, is still here.

Impressive.

What's more impressive, is that he seems to have gotten the idea.  I expect him to develop into a productive forum member who is good to have around. Given my experience of 15 year old newbies, I never expected this to happen. I thought he would spam off topic stuff for a few months, then leave.

No hard Feelings Gorgon. I am impressed.
