OK, I'm creating this thread for the express purpose of giving respect where respect is both due and seldom given.  You know, we all give props to one person or another on occasion, and the crush thread serves this purpose quite nicely, most of the time.  However, this is not a crush thread.  This is a thread dedicated to "This person rocks and I hardly ever take the time to say it."  This isn't where you come to harp on the person you always harp on.  So if you like, respect, or just plain adore someone that you've never really had the chance to talk about, now's your chance.  And to start the festivities...

Benji, you are one of the most awesome posters on this forum or any other that I have had the pleasure to see the wisdom and silliness of.  You are insightful, witty, irreverent (which I actually respect the most), freakin' hilarious, and convoluted.  You and I hardly, if ever, speak, but I enjoy reading your insanities whenever they are posted.  You rock, and don't you go changin'!




chantrea -> RE: Seldom said (7/31/2006 11:48:03 PM)

VandalHeart ~ You are a wonderful, great and sweet Man.  One day, i hope to meet you for real.

LaMalinche ~ Ditto.

SavageFaerie ~ You have taken the time to listen to me whine, complain and cry... thank you

Litleone ~ You are an inspiration to us all... and thanks for saving me :)




LaMalinche -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 12:37:37 AM)

Sad to see you all go. . . but this coil of mortal life is just to much for me.




shivvy -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 2:05:27 AM)

there are loads of people on here i really have a great deal of respect for. In no particular order, they include:
 
LaMalinche, Lord Vandal, RavenMuse, susanofo, Lucky Albatross, mixilicous, SavageFaerie, Litleone, Vancouver_cinful, irishbynature, DracoAU80, Lifetime, chantrea...
 
i'm sorry, i'm sure there are many more, but these are the people who spring to mind.
 
may i just thank E/everybody for just being so lovely really..
 
luv,

enigmabrat -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 6:32:45 AM)

ok Im sorry to burst bubbles maybe its the fact that life has pissed in my chireos yet again but i hate these threads they leave so much room for people to get hurt just as in the crush thread it can be a bit upsetting to those that dont get mentioned do we really need to keep giveing the same few people pats on the back... maybe im saying this becuase I never get mentioned and yes it kind of gets to me so I  know it gets to the others that never get mention I know it seem to be no big deal and people joke saying "Oh no one has a crush on me " or what ever the thread may be but those people are really saying damn im beeing left out again do those of us that dont get mentione on these threads really need another thread to make us feel infirior and remind us yet again that people here dont care dont like or dont notise them

sorry VH you know I love you but this is how I feel

gooddogbenji -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:19:33 AM)

Enigma,

These threads are not PC.  Each person will mention their favourites specifically, and 99% of CM will not be included on each list.  Granted, it's more fun to be mentioned than not, but don't piss on the rest of our collective parades. 

I'm not a fan of Valentines day for that exact reason, but I don 't go burning down flowery gazebos because of it.

Going on an emotional rant about how this is unfair may get you a few immediate mentions out of pity, but really, it does not contribute to the forums.  It's your right to post anything anywhere, but I thought I'd say how I feel.

And yes, I know, not PC, what I just wrote.  I don't do well with complainers in real life, and I don't do well with them here.  I also know I will not make any friends through this, but if one person learns something, mission accomplished.

Yours,


benji

why is it that when someone points out something negative about a particular subject they are labeled as "complainers"?  

Guess what?  When you complain about complainers, it makes you a complainer too.




gooddogbenji -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:29:20 AM)

Don't make me post my "complain about complain about complainer" post again.  Because I'm complaining about complaining about complaining about complaining right now.  And I know someone will complain about my complaining, I know this.

Yours,


benji





gooddogbenji -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:38:04 AM)

More seriously though.  There's a rational way to point something out, for example, "Threads like these leave too many people out, therefore I will not participate," and emotional, "No one ever mentions me!  It's not fair!  Other people shouldn't be allowed to hear that they're doing well!"

One is a statement of fact, even if passive-aggressive in a way.  The other reminds me of kindergarten, and is complaining.

I earnestly believe that people not being allowed to receive accolades and rewards for good work is what is wrong with the world today, be it in school or in the work force.  Unions work on this principle.  If we had a union here, it would work as follows: If someone has over 200 posts in this forum, they get mentioned by 30% of the posters.  If they have 1000, 50% have to mention them.  If they have 2000, everyone has to list them.  That's not the way these forums work, and that's not the way humans work.  In my opinion, any system which imposes fairness benefits only those who would otherwise not make it.

And of rant, and I do hope I hijacked this thread well enough.

Yours,


benji

Edited to clarify (I hope)




litleone8620 -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:41:41 AM)

I totally agree with you, Benji. There have been people here who have 3 posts, and theirs are very insightful and thought provoking.

The fact is that the more you post, the more recognition you get, no matter what it is you say.

I will take that as a compliment, even if I should probably cry over it.  LOL

benji




gooddogbenji -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:51:01 AM)

Now, after my little failed hijack, I want to post my "seldom said" thanks to a bunch o y'all.

Anyone who laughs at my jokes is in my good books.  Anyone who hates me, thanks for making me important enough for that.  Anyone who's undecided, ask around, tell people what you think, and make me more popular in that way. Then I can thank you for that.  And anyone who doesn't know me, fuck you. 

Tee hee.  I just told a group of strangers to fuck off.

Yours,


benji




RavenMuse -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:55:59 AM)

Someone I hardly ever mention but damn well deserves cudos.... mons. Dyslexia is a hard one to overcome in a written forum especialy when you lack much confidence in it. But sweetie you do wonderfully well, post some heartfelt contributions at times and I've watched quite a gutsy voyage of self-discovery these past few months going on quietly in the background of your postings.

Cudos[sm=flowers.gif]




Tamerofwild1s -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:57:39 AM)

gee benjjii ... is that like those who know me know me well . and those that don't can go to Baltimore
 
 
lmaoooo .... *runs out with the last word on that subject*




litleone8620 -> RE: Seldom said (8/1/2006 7:59:53 AM)

I would like to acknowledge my respect for Master RavenMuse. I never skip his posts, i've learned a lot from him, and respect his opinions greatly.

Also, Noah. He might be rude and crude, but when it all comes down to it, he knows his shit.
