This is that topic I said I wanted to post, in which we all give our opinions of eachother. Of course, all me fellow geeks know that much of this shan't be taken *seriousely*. However, some of it is in fact what I truly feel. I dunno, I guess I just wanted some of you to know what I thought about you and also just to 'vent' me opinions. Well, here goes...

GameMaster: Well, as I've told you before (but with no elaboration), aside from Neo you're practically my favorite here on these boards. You give great advice, are always in the right and never the wrong, and are one of the smartest and wisest people I have ever had the pleasure of... heh, somewhat 'meeting' .

Zorro: Yay, Frankie boy. I've always enjoyed your humor, even if sometimes it might've been pushing the envelope (though I respect the fact that you continued no matter what anyone else said). I understand that you aren't really that bad of a human being, which I am glad you cleared up for others.

Roach: Ahhh, Paul. I remember when I first posted here (I wasn't even registered, ahkens!)... double posted in fact. That earned me my damnation to WinME . Well I think knowing you was/has been fun, although at times I wish you could express yourself a bit more (thought from what you told us last, you were working on that).

Snupy: Well well. Hrmee... well, to tell you the truth, snupy, I used to think more of you. I actually thought you were a bit... brighter? Aye, I think that's it. Now I 'realize' that you may in fact not be (regardless of what you might say about grades, IQ, etc.). Plus, I don't like the fact that you're not that tough of a woman (at least, not as tough as I'd 'like' you to be).

Spungo: Actually I don't have much to say about you. In the beginning, I thougth both you and Snupy were a bit 'smarter', but now I think you beat her to it...

Spike: I don't think very much of you. Mostly everything I've ever seen you post was meaningless and only an attempt to increase your number of posts. I don't really believe you to be a geek (though everyone's exact definition of it is different, of course). I wish you would change and type a bit more... either that or just plain leave - mind you, not that I'm asking you to or telling you to, just that I wouldn't care if you did and would probably be 'happier' for it.

Nayt: Where have you gone to anywho? I still don't like you that much, particularly for all your ignorance on the subject of sex, women, and relationships. I wish you would grow up and broaden your mind a bit. That's not saying that I wish you would 'get it over with', but just open your eyes to it (not having sex, but women and the like... you know what I mean). However, I did like the subjects you brought up, but that could just be because they were quite broad (< also reasoning for getting so many responses to them).

Colonel Panic: I don't think I've ever had a problem with you. I like your humor whenever it comes popping up from nowhere (j/k, no doubt ), and don't really have anything against you because I've never seen you argue or anything... thought that doesn't mean that you're really one of my *favorites* since you have a complete balance... and I don't exactly know where you are on the scale . All I can say is... 'keep it up'.

Bregalad: In the beginning, I enjoyed that you kept up with Snupy and Spungo, but I never actually thought much about you - not thought much OF you, just... eh, you understand, eh? Currently, I like you much better than both of them and think your sexual references and comments are much better, too .

uilleann: Heh, well I think I do in fact like you much more than I used to. I think lately your humor has gotten better. You're not as, hehe, DRY as I thought you were . Yay for Zebby!

Sky: I always liked you, Sky. I dunno exactly why, but all of your responese just... fit, heh. Your opinions I agree with, your reactions/responses I am in accordance with. Hah, that's probably why :P. Anywho, you seem like a great person who's has a great mood about her. I do respect you.

Audrie: When you first started posting, I got a bad vibe from you. Sometimes I just don't like someone... period (see? there it is> ). I don't think I classified you as being worthy of being the geek that you claimed to be. But along the way, I've grown to like you much more, and do consider you a fellow geek. I like your style and enjoy reading about what goes on in your life (whether it be about that damned Kutin [er, I think it was him!] who punched you and kicked Stitches, or the fact that you enjoy dancing and also recently met Lost ). Also, just pointing this out for no reason: I think you and Paul might be good together. Either that or good friends, heh. YAY! YAAAY!!

Xanthine:Er, Xanathine ... ahh, you were one of the first I knew here on these boards. Memories! Hah, anywho, I always liked you. I have nothing against you (save that one time you tried to give me advice that mentioning a guy is 'small' is a bad idea and I got a bit testy about it, though I knew you were right anywho, heeh). I think you just started posting again, did you not? You were absent for some time before...

Quantumfluff: Aye, you were kinda.. quiggy, but I think of you almost as a big grump. But much of what you said was quite meaningful. I do respect you as well.

Some honorable mentions 8^): Trekker(*thumbs up*), Irkey & KG (Yeh! Both of you rock), platypus(your written stories were so neato! Especially that "Blue" one!), mephisto & annie (I'm so happy for you two), dragonman97(YAY!!!!), FatGnome & Geordie(Woop!), Nemo(Yippy!), Evilbunny (spiffy that you made a qwerky dictionary!) - You were all great! I love you!

I'll probably be adding more, heeh...

w00t, I've been rated "YAY!" My day is made (or at least night) .

Poor Snaggy, you're an important influence around here - I really can't think of anything better now.

I can't think of good critiques right now, but I thought I'd merely mention that I pretty much find everyone on TT's list to be quite interesting, except for the few I have not gotten to know yet. One such exception would be Spike, who has startled me by surpassing my post count in 2 months or less, and I haven't even read much from him.

Edit/Append: (Fixed a typo)
I did not have a whole lot of time to write the above comment, and tomorrow I will probably write something more meaningful.

Oh don't worry, I'm trying to make up a good thankful response for you and Nitro ...

Heh, aye dragonman, YAY TO YOU!! I like everything about you... I can't express it any better than that, heeh! You were always nice to me! I love you a lot!!

Well I will make a special exception for you tonight, and post another comment. Thank you, I'm touched. /me has warm fuzzy feeling - *virtual hug*. I've always found you to be a very interesting person (someone who can make Zorro (almost blush|blush)). You are quite wise for your age, and I believe you have always been nice to me as well, so thank you. You are a quiggy one indeed .

hrm..don't feel bad snag, she didn't rate me either, heh, though I KNOW how she feels about me....personally, I'm not going to go into detail yet about everyone on the board, mainly because I don't have much time before I have to get off the net, but suffice it to say that, of course, my favorite person is my Twinkie, but other than her You and Nitro are the best...you made these boards in the first place, and without you I would never have met Twinkle and I wouldn't have gotten some spiffy advice and views by the quiggy people here. I would like to give you all my sincerest gratitude....as for everyone else, I'll go into my own personal details about you later, the one thing I *WILL* say now is I won't go into detail on Spike, becuase frankly I dun like him...no offense, but you strike me as my deffinition of a dork, not a geek or nerd, but your welcome to stick around the board as long as you like...just don't expect me to respect your opinion much, though its your right to have it and express it as you will..well, ciao for now

I will start at the end of the alphabet, and work forward� Just because I am such a backward person.

Zorro: You are quite the interesting fellow. I am amazed y your entertainment ability, and the level to which you will sink to make a joke. I may disagree with the way you talk about going through women, but the perversion is always a great relief from lines of code.

Uilliean: I admire your thoughts, and think you have the ability to do a great many things. I think you need to get a little more, but don�t we all? Your lazy perfectionist tendencies remind me much of myself. I think if I were British, I hadn�t meet the people who pushed me out of my shell and if I was crazy about Macs and �� and �� and �.. Then I would be a lot like you.

Twinkle Toes: You are something, we are not quite sure what yet�. Oh, sorry, j/k. To be honest, I am quite impressed with some of the thoughts you�ve expressed on the boards. Your spunk and energy defiantly help shape the tone of the boards.

Trinity: I know your probably never going to see this� But I miss seeing your intresting posts and witty comments. Blessed be, where ever you are.

Trekker: Your posts are always full of�. Something worse reading (and you thought I was going to say something else!). Thank you for stopping by the page and answering a few riddles.

Spike: You can be a bit immature at times, and others your just immature. I must admit, though, that I don�t find you as annoying as I may have come across or as annoying as a lot of other people do.

Snupy: I no how mch ya luv my spilling�. Alright, I�ll be serious. I admire and respect the wisdom that you have accumulated over your LOOOOONNNNGGG life time (oldie). I have rarely found my self siding against you (but when I do, you�re wrong!) on an issue (that isn�t political) and I am rather impressed with the quick comebacks that you slide in before Zorro. I would also like to take this moment to thank you for replying to a certain thread (which thankfully hasn�t resurfaced since I edited it almost useless), in a time a need.

Snaggy: Snaggy, Snaggy, he�s out man, if he can�t do it��. SH*T! Thank you for having the board, and letting little ol� us post about our little ol� life. We truly do appreciate the contributions that you have made to our life, by your posts and your board.

Roach: A great flavor for humor and an intelligence to boot. Your not a bad guy, and the ladies will see that eventually.

Quantumfluff: Your quite an interesting fellow, QF. �Quiggy� is a fairly good word you�

Neo: There are some things in you that remind me very much of myself. I think that in the next few years some very interesting things will happen to you�. If I went into detail, people would think me a loon.

GrayCat: While you are quite anal, and enjoy knit-picky� I cannot help but admire your knowledge and political views about what is going on in this country. I realize that to you I probably seem like a �kid who can�t spell,� which bothers me a little bit. I do respect you, and would like to hear more of thoughts on the questions I post.

Audrie: Alas, Audrie. I hope that things start to look up for you. I truly admire your intelligence and strength. BTW�. :P~~~~~ !

I apologize to anyone who I didn�t mention. These are just some of the many things that I think of all you, and haven�t had a chance to say. To every geek here, thank you for being you� and bring a smile to my face with your many great posts.

Thank you TT for your nice words about me. And don't worry snupy, just because she likes me better than you doesn't mean that your not a great person.

Heh, aye, there... I corrected it. But who ever said I was trying to insult anyone? Don't get all festered up over it. I'm simply giving my opinion plain and simple. If it bothers you that I currently think that about you, I'm sorry but you have to deal with it...*sigh* Dun take it too seriousely... I don't even know you that well. I only know you from the way you choose to express yourself on the boards.

Oy, and if it 'helps', the last part of your statement isn't worded properly.

Good day

well, I guess I'll post MY opinions of you lot now:

GM: like Twinkie, other than her your my favorite poster here...from you witty remarks to your advice, I respect your opinions..though now you have me wondering what you can see for my future..

Zorro: I can see your not as despicable a person as some people seem to think...I'm glad you don't ever withdrawl from your comments regardless of what other people think about you..I find most of your comments quite funny, though some go over the top a bit...I hope you find someone to love eventually, and I hope your still on these boards when you do

Nitro: you stopped posting actively before I got here, and I've never been to the nitro cam...but I enjoy the comics you guys do, and I deeply appreciate the site in general

Snaggy: you don't post nearly often enough, IMHO, but when you do it's usually incitefull or funny, either way I respect you and give you my eternal gratitude for maintaining this site as you do

Quantumfluff: I dun have much of an opinion either way about you, to be honest I wouldn't want to see you go anywhere as you have some good things to add all around, but I don't count you among my favorite people on this board

evilbunny: same goes for you as QF...cept I like you a bit more because you have a dictionary of your very own words

Spike: I just had to reiterate I dun like you

GMx(the newbie one): see spike

Snupy: I know you aren't going to like it, but I don't hold you high in esteem either. I would hate to see you leave the boards, but I used to think more highly of you...you DO have some great comments to make, but in general there are few that are very incitefull anymore...again, I'd hate to see you leave the boards, and enjoy a lot of what you have to add, I just don't hold you as one of my favorite people here, and like Twinkie said, don't take it personal, I don't know you, and this is just based on the fact you havn't been very incitefull of late

Spungo: Pretty much same as Snupy with the minor difference that I've never expected better of you, heh

Trekker: I like you...funny at times, but still capable of being serious, with some good advice sometimes.

Panic: see Trekker

Bregalad: see Panic

Nayt: where you been man? did THEY get you? oh well, I wouldn't mind seeing you post some more around here, but, well I can't say I'll miss you too much if you don't come back...you *DO* have SOME good things to say, but for the most part your stances on things aren't really believable

Sky: I like you, your a witty girl with an attitude. Truly the world could do with more geekettes such as yourself

Irky(irene kelly): see sky with the exception of the fact that you don't post much, if at all

KernlGrl: see Irky

U: I like your comments for the most part, your humor I enjoy most of the time, though at times it's too dry even for me. I agree with a lot of your comments, and respect your opinions. I still want to call you a certain dimmunative of your name that you won't let me, damn you, oh well

Mephisto: I like you. Great temper ya got there, hehe. On the serious side, youve got some great points, and I respect your opinions

Audrie: When you first started posting here I held you as 'questionable' but as I've read your posts I've gotten quite intrigued with the things going on with you, though I've noticed you only post in your threads, which leads me to believe your using us *gasp*...well, use us all you want, it makes things interesting, I'd hate to see you go anywhere, but it would be pretty quiggy if you'd post elsewhere on the board as well, your opinions would be appreciated at times

FatGnome: yer funny, would hate to see you leave as well

Xanathine: see FatGnome

Dragonman97: good comments and opinions, with some humor mixed in, your oki in my book, pluss your name is an english translation of mine, hehe, always a plus

Maxomai: Yer oki in my book...see Trekker

Geordie: honestly I swear I've seen that somewhere before...oh well, yer oki in my book as well

MacGenious: your oki too

Janeway: whered you go? I liked you around...

SteelWolfe: yer oki I guess, dun really know much aboot ya

Daulg: originally I would've said 'see Spike' but right now I could lean either way on you..you've actually posted some meaningfull things, though when Spike first started here I didn't like you at all..

Platypus: I dun know anything about you to make a judgment either way

Twinkle Toes: what can I say about you...I love you, I hope to see you again very soon(suddenly I feel odd commenting about you while chatting with you, heh)

EVERYONE ELSE: if you weren't mentioned then I don't have anything against you, may or may not like you, but I just can't remember your name, so for those who feel left out, know I have a crappy memory...JAS and Abhorsen you fall under everyone else for right now, I dun know anythin about ya yet

ME: well, I'm Neo, known to one as Bees. I'm short of temper, sometimes I can be sharp of wit, though my memory is lacking sometimes. I'm quick to learn, and just as quick to forget. I'm a veritable fountain of completely usless information for the most part, and I like to read a lot. I used to be a big gamer and I used to watch a lot of anime, but to be honest I don't find them as entertaining as I used too...for games there aren't any really challangeing ones anymore, and for anime there arn't any good ones being brought to america. I know some Japanese, I like folk lore, I like the Celtic races, and mythologies, I've read a few books on just about every topic(quite why I'm a fountain of uselss knowledge, I only know bits about a lot, rather than lots about a bit, though I do have a few things I know a lot about..)..I read fast, when I'm nervous I get chattery. I'm deeply in love with my Twinkie, and while I'm extremely happy she loves me too, its a source of misery at times for both of us because we can't be together all the time...well, I think that's about enough about me for the time being, if any of you actually WANT to know about me you can look me up, heh...ciao

P.S. sorry its so long, but, well, heh

Okay, I'm going to do this in installments actually, so I don't leave people out in a single list, and because my hand seems to hurt a little from typing too much (need to get ergonomic keyboard, maybe). These entries will be in no particular order, just as they occur to me, more or less. Also, if not mentioned (here or in future messages, it doesn't mean I dislike you (necessarily), but that I either haven't come to know you much, can't think of an insightful comment, or just forgot to include you in it (I'm really bad at remembering people's names (w.r.t. online discussion, names=nicks).

Ladies first:
Nitrozac: Magnificant valor! The great artist who brings such life to this place. Looking forward to more AY2K, and the more frequent JoT. JoT is greatly appreciated from my IT point of view, and I've shared it with many of my coworkers. (Presently this is my favorite, for added reasons I may have mentioned in IRC.) While you haven't posted much here in the general Forums, it's always a pleasure to hear/see from you in the SuperFan Forums.

Xanthine: Your comments are most fascinating, adding to the intrigue you have about you. I'd love to visit "The Lab," perhaps some of the experiments from the X-Files take place there.

Trinity & dragon34: Both of you post interesting comments, but ever so rarely - I'd love to see more of your great insights (or even just nonsense).

Janeway: Come back to the Light!

Snupy: Always a pleasure. While your early back and forth 'very serious' discussions with spungo were most fascinating, it is very nice to see your independent views these days (along with the occasional snupy/spungo discussions). Thanks for the positive words about beards, I considered your words to be a contributing factor for me to go ahead and grow a beard (it was useful to know some women out there do actually think it's a good thing).

Edit/Append: w00t, I'm "Assimilated" now!

Thankee kindly, neo and twinkie for the nice things you say about me; it really does make a geekette feel good to read stuff like that

I wasn't sure whether to post in this thread, and I've decided that I'll refrain from mentioning most people, simply because I don't know them yet. However, honourable mentions do go out to a few people:

Neo: If anyone doesn't think you're a brilliant person, they must be insane! Truly, I love seeing a post by you, because I just know that you'll have written something that I'll really enjoy reading

Twink: I always liked you too, Twink! I admire that you're not afraid to tell people how you really feel, and I think you're very funny, and very smart and you give as good as you get and I'm gonna start gushing in a minute, so I'll stop now

Zebediah: I'm trying hard not to over-think what I write Suffice it to say, I like you a lot (is that alright with you?), and very much enjoy our lengthy sessions of stating the obvious.

Spike: I feel bad being yet another person who tells you they don't like you much. But heck, that's the truth of the matter; if you would only say something when you type!

Snaggy: *bows down in gratitude* Really, thank you so much. *gets a little teary-eyed; has to turn away* You rock.

Snupy n' Spungo: I always think of you two together You seem like nice people. Snupy, you seem like a real girl ans Spungo, you seem like a real boy, if that doesn't sound too insane...

Roach: We haven't chatted much, but hey! You liked my sig so now I will absolutely love you forever

MacGenius: Cocky kid who thinks he knows more than he does, but is man enough to take the flaming that follows...

Audrie, Irene Kelly, Subar, Perfectstormy, Fimbrethil: Hey. When you all joined I thought you might be a little Abercrombie and Fitch, but you all seem to be great people and I look forward to posting with you sometime soon!

Quantumfluff, GameMaster: I don't know either of you much, so will reserve judgement, other than to say that so far I get a very positive vibe from both of you.

That's it.

I'm not the kind of person who would make a list of names and put down what I think of them. I will let them know if they ask, though I try to keep things a bit confusing so as not to lose eny advantage I might have. Besides, I don't really spend much time thinking about the things I like and dislike about someone. I am much simpler than that, either I like you or I don't. I use the word friend rather loosely and I can't honestly think of someone I truley hate since if I don't like somone I usually wont waste the effort thinking of them. If you really have to hear it from Me wheather or not I like you, then you really don't know Me. I do appreciate all the nice things that have been said about Me, and the bad stuff, well there is nothing that can be said that I haven't heard before from people much closer to Me. It just don't bother Me anymore and is ultimately irrelevant. I'll try My best not to change but I can't make any promises. >;o) ...............z

Spike, you'd do a lot better in my book if you got rid of that really obnoxious .sig - not only is it loud, but it eats up a few extra CPU cycles, and mucks up my scrolling (the repainting in Konqueror suffers at times when scrolling past animated GIFs).

>>Heh, aye, there... I corrected it. But who ever said I was trying to insult anyone? Don't get all festered up over it. I'm simply giving my opinion plain and simple. If it bothers you that I currently think that about you, I'm sorry but you have to deal with it...*sigh* Dun take it too seriousely... I don't even know you that well. I only know you from the way you choose to express yourself on the boards.

No, it doesn't bother me. I never was very good with children.

snupy:
I'll say this much: when I first saw Twinkle Toes' comment on you, I just though, "OUCH", and then, "she's dead." I can see the openness and honesty in such a post, but something I'm still learning the hard way myself is that such openness often only hurts people - one must be careful not to volunteer the truth when it is not called for and not what people needed to hear. I won't make any pretence that I like everyone here - it is only natural that I don't. What I'd never do, is openly tell people that I don't. Considering this list, even if you only commented on everyone you liked, those who got omitted would start wondering... I think the very principle of the list is an ill-advised one. Subtle (and not so subtle), and, more importantly, in-context, comments to people in posts is a much nicer way of showing appreciation and admiration for people.

Anyhow, snupy, you seem a very nice individual to me. I think all of us here generally are a decent bunch, and we must all think so, as we all stick around in each others' company.

Now, here's the twist - were I to air my views on Twinkle Toes in here, would I soon find myself in hospital with first-degree burns, Celtic style, or is she able to take the same level of frank opinion that she herself is dealing out to others? And how frank and open could I get before I'd be pushing my luck?

- uilleann

Edit:
And yes, Spike, the anti-Spike attitude I see here is distinctly lacking in tolerance. I do wish people would stop getting at you - I find that more irritating than anyting you say, and your banter with ilovemydualmg4 can actually be amusing, now that I'm used to it. The two people here I find really irritating are very popular with the rest, so it just goes to show how everyone thinks and feels different. Spike, take on board some of the constructive criticism, but don't fall to the pressure of the bullying.

I don't know, U-that's why I haven't commented much on this thread. First of all, I think it's childish and mean-spirited, and second, if I said what I thought of TT, it would betray my nature. Believe it or not, I have said very few unkind words about people in my lifetime, because I believe life is hard enough without people judging each other. Yes, I know I have reacted angrily in the past to you and Spike, in particular, but I believe I did apologize later. IRL, I would have never reacted like that, but that's what these boards are for, isn't it? Sometimes it's refreshing to not be the 'nice' person I always am IRL and let loose here if something rubs me the wrong way.

Good job staying above it all, U. As I have said before, sometimes I think we need to have an "adult" gc, and a kiddies one. Kinda like an 'adult swim' at the pool.

As I've said before, Spike, I admire you for graciously taking the crap people dole out to you and not dishing it out in return. You are probably a better person deep down than most of us here. Either that, or you're just a wuss.

i dont think im a wuss.. when somebody i know in real life gives me crap for no real reason.. i usually stand up for myself.. but taking crap well when i did something wrong or offended somebody is something i guess i am good at.. i dont kno i think its because i studied the martial arts as a kid and learned to control my reaction to stuff.. and uilleann thanks for not hating me.. and if you read up a bit you can see that i already came to the conclusion of of taking on the constructive criticism but thanks for the thought anyways..

"those who are easily offended should be, and often" I'd be more than happy to read many flames about myself, because it dosn't bother me in any way. I'm sorry to those of you who think this is 'childish' topic in anyway, but if honesty is childish I hope I don't ever look at things as 'maturely' as you people do. I do agree with you Snupy, that Spike is one of the most controlled people on this board when it comes to flames....

heh well neo thanks for that compliment at least
its just all the people that hate me in real life for most of the same reasons here.. ive gotten used to getting "flamed" but in real life the person is usually roasted in return.. and i end up hanging out with the vice principal afterwards but who really cares?

well i see, a few of you have wondered where i have been. I have been busy working, playing computer games, biking around, and pretty much hiding from THEM as normal. I had that trip there where i fled into the mountains to hide from THEM. I foresee another coming up, as well, some new car has been following me around. oh yeah, and i have been working on writing a story. Once i get back in school, i will post more, as i will be online more often, and not running from THEM as much.

Snupy, I do understand why you think it is a bit childish to laundry list your feelings about those on the board. I, however, believe that in life we don't say as much as we should... If I have something funky between my teeth I want to know about it. If what I said about this or that is inpolite and someone is offended, I think that they should tell me. Avoiding conflict is as moronic as heated argument. The books on negotations, war, sales and dealing with people all state something about being honest and sincere even if you are couching it nicely or sugar coating it a bit. I posted because there were and are still somethings that I have been thinking about saying, and this was just a convient time to post them. Notice that I did leave out some a lot of people... It is because there wasn't anything that I hadn't had a chance to say that I didn't to anyone else.

I personally would like to point out that I don't mind spike, like I said, although he is a little immature (who ever said that was neededly a bad thing). As for "judging people" we all do, and I don't think that is wrong. There is a universal morality that we all should be held against; moreover we are entitled to our opinions no matter how unpopular or off base they are. I think that idea of always being "Politically correct" and attempting never to offend is just an assinine idea. An action is immoral, an opinion is not immoral.

So says I is now being replaced with a quote we all could stand to hear a few times...

"Every man is somehow my better, in that I learn from them."

Jesus! What the hell's going on here?

TT - let me ask you a question. So what, you woke up on Saturday and asked yourself 'Hm... how many people should I piss off today?' I'm puzzled as to why anyone would want to start this thread with that tone: what exactly were you trying to achieve? If you don't like what someone has to say, don't read their posts. It's simple.

You may think that the people on this forum are just names and words: wrong. I assure you that there are actual people who are typing these posts. Call me foolish but I don't see why individuals here should be treated any differently than those IRL. I believe that's how the vast majority of us have recieved you! Do unto others, TT...

actually she was quite looking forward to reading exactly what everyone thinks of her, and she started this post because she wanted everyone to know how she felt about them, and it's exactly what she would've done IRL, how she would've treated everyone IRL, and the same could be said for me

GameMaster:
I know you don't like the monochrome world you perceive too many people live in, and I do see the merits of such a topic, in that it clears away some of the unknowns - makes people feel more like they are seen as people with personalities than just names on the screen. However, as I explained previously, I see it as also being a dangerous idea.

It's all very well, of course, for both of us, as we are people for whom others have positive feelings, but for those who are disliked by some, it's a bit more harsh a ride. I think the support shown for those who previously got knocked should cheer them up. My view ultimately would be the similar to spungo's - if you don't like someone, don't trouble them. If I don't like them, it does not mean they're bad, it just means I don't like them, and I feel it better to keep that to myself, for their sake. If I felt I had genuine reason to believe that someone was in the wrong, then I'd feel more inclined to speak out.

A difficult subject, either way.

I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood the whole point of these forums. I thought they were a place you could say what you wanted and not be judged by others. You all should have told us there'd be a critique at the end, and maybe some of us would not have participated. No one asked for your 'honesty', nor TT's and Neo's. Honesty is great when mutually agreed upon, but not when thrust upon you by strangers on a child's self-centered whim.

; moreover we are entitled to our opinions no matter how unpopular or off base they are. I think that idea of always being "Politically correct" and attempting never to offend is just an assinine idea. An action is immoral, an opinion is not immoral.

Yes, we are. So why do you judge people by what they've said in these forums? You're contradicting yourself.
