I’d quite like to meet all the moderators actually, if only to put a face to the names. ---

AWWWWW… **Ellen Cherry** thinks I’m a sweetie pie. :o I feel like I’m in some kinda elite doper inner circle. So many want to meet **FairyChatMom** and I met her! Not only did I meet her, I took her to dinner (she’s a cheap date btw), got a driving tour of Clay County, Florida, sat on her loveseat, got hugged by her (twice, even!), and petted her dog on the butt (the dog has a fetish for getting her butt petted, apparently). **FCM** is the only doper I have met. I get to meet some more at North Florida Dope in a couple weeks. Dopers I’d like to meet: \*\* Homebrew\*\* My major leage doper crush! woof! **Exgineer** Gotta meet anybody who calls me Angel Pants **Ellen Cherry** She did call me a sweetie pie after all **Rue DeDay** The man knows tasteful yard art **Lissla** She’s royalty **Copper\_moon** She confessed she had a crush on me. awww… **Kn(it’s fun to type stuff where the asterisk in her name is)ckers** She’s so much fun in **Rue** threads **wintermute** Another fun **Rue** threader **welby** Another one sucked in to **Rue** threads who did a wonderful job with the MMP this week **Zappo** I have a standing invite to his house for beer, pretzels and scrapple All the other regular **Rue** thread types Aw, heck, any other dopers I can meet, I wanna meet. ---

It would be nice to have a _ **real** _ Comfort Party where we could mix and mingle with all the cuddly ones who were there. ---

Rereading this thread, I’d also like to meet **Coldie** , **TubaDiva** , **Davebear** , er, in fact, all the Dopers, there’s too many for me to just chose a few. ---

I think I’d like to meet Coldie, Tir, Siege, Poly, Eve, belladonna and bodypoet. And Matt (so I could hug him in person). The dopers I’ve met are lovely (hi Kal, Washte and the Dub-dopers). ---

I’m just posting to be a party pooper. I doubt that I’ll ever meet another Doper, being a shut-in (practically) but if I could I’d like to meet the Bad Astronomer. -from the Doper most likely to be on someone’s ignore list ---

I got on two poster’s lists! And those happen to be the people I’d like to meet too! Actually I’d like to meet a bunch of people, but I don’t want to make those posters who haven’t been mentioned feel any more left out 🙂 But I can’t believe no one has said **december** , though. I have a feeling that if we met, we’d fall instantly in love and make a bunch of babies together. 🙂 ---

**Irishgirl** , you were on the original list I composed – I knew I forgot someone. As for you, **Steelerphan** , if I don’t get to meet you one of these days, I’ll sic my priest on you. He’s from your town. **Monstro** , I’ve read too much from you not to have you on my list. Now watch someone else I meant to mention turn up. :o CJ ---

There are a zillion dopers I’d like to meet, and I think we’d have a really great time getting to know each other better. (Yes, even **Ogre**.) However, for very different reasons, if I could pick just one doper to spend a little time with it would be **Shrew**. Never have I encountered an online personality whose every post made me feel like someone was scratching their fingernails across a chalkboard. I can’t believe how much I disagree with nearly every post of hers that I’ve read. In fact, recently **Shrew** posted a one-word response in some thread: “Damn.” I couldn’t believe it was Shrew’s post, because I actually agreed with the sentiment! We’ve never argued one on one here, but we have posted in several of the same threads over time. I am pretty sure that my usually jocular, sometimes inane comments may irritate Shrew as much as her comments irritate me. If there was a doper picnic somewhere, I’d like to pull a couple of lawn chairs up under a big oak tree, Shrew and I each get a glass of tea, sit down for awhile, and see if the personality clash was all that bad IRL. Realizing, of course, that if the two of us went to sit under an oak tree only one might live to tell about it. We’d probably fight to the death over who got which lawn chair. :eek: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dantheman \* > \*\*Are you saying you’d like to tame Shrew? \*\* I’m rather certain I’m not man enough to perform The Taming of _that_ Shrew! BTW: I don’t mean to imply that I dislike her. Obviously, she is entitled to her opinions. I’ve just never seen anyone whose opinions I disagreed with to such an extent. ---
