I want to know: Who here at the SDMB likes me?
Sally Field? Is that you?
I like you, but I think you need to stay out of the pit. 
I don’t know you, so I can’t honestly say.
However, you may want to consider (as an ego boost, perhaps) that no matter how many people answer in the affirmative, there may well be lots more who don’t chime in through simply not having read the thread.
And of course, some people who hate you may lie and say they like you, in an effort to get you to drop your guard.
Moderator’s note:
Uh, I may be splitting hairs but this is less a survey than a simple query about popularity. Not intending to bust your chops here, MSK. Full marks for trying to put this in the proper forum but I’m moving this one.
The line separating questions vesus polls/surveys can blur, especially when it’s “yes/no, thumbs up/thumbs down” voting. And IMHO is Debate Lite, though “less than cosmic” issues can spark a lot of BTU’s.
Anyway, thread placement is a combo of interpreting how the thread is phrased in relation to what’s actually being asked. (And hey, ain’t gonna cause nuclear winter either way, ya know?)
More art than science but I’m sending this off to MPSIMS.
TVeblen
for IMHO
I like your name.
Translation, please, Moderator: BTUs?
Well, MSK, you haven’t enraged me enough that I have the urge to hunt you down and stab a ballpoint pen through your aorta.
But the month is still young.
…and THIS folks is taking your job seriously!!! 
…as per the OP, I’ve always thought you were nice, though you’ve never bought me lunch!!!
TN*Hippie, BTU = british thermal unit, meaning even ‘less than cosmic’ debates can get quite heated.
MSK, this was a bad idea. You’re not going to get the response or reassurance you’re looking for, regardless of people’s true feelings towards you.

Ahhh… what the fuck does THAT dork know!!! :D:D
Blush.
Yepper and thanks, Homer.
I was trying to say–politely–that people crank their underwear into incredibly tight knots over sports, rock lyrics, movies, etc.
Not that those things AREN’T crucial, y’understand.
Sigh.
What a pisser.
Just lurched from “polite” right into confusing.

Your a jive kid msk.
I haven’t had much interaction with you, so I cannot say too much. What I have seen of you doesn’t seem that bad. Just watch out for those rants making fun of:
Mentally challenged people
Handicap people
Gay people
[snip] (any minority)
Kids doing…well, things that Kids do…(I.e playing)
People that believe in Magic
People that have big ego’s
Well, the list goes, on, and mostly as long as you don’t offend somebody for doing something they can’t help, and don’t come off as too snotty, you should be fine.
You want the truth?
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
Having no interaction with you myself, I really couldn’t say, but you seem like an okay person. I do think you have an interesting handle.
But I do wonder why you ask this, have you been a jerk in the past?
Are you paranoid about something?
Are you thinking about coming out?
Do your feet or breath stink?
Are you too fat or skinny?
Are your panties all in a bunch?
Did you just step in dog shit?
Are you having a bad hair day?
Or is it you have been lied to before?
What?
I don’t know you well enough to comment on whether I like you or not. I rather suspect not. (Not that I hate you or anything, but I don’t know you well enough to like you.)
However, this OP is so elementary school-ish and self-absorbed and insecure that it actually made me wince.
And with all respect to Veb who I worship and admire from afar, mightn’t the Pit have been more appropriate, given the inevitable?

I have been away from the boards for a few days so I didn’t see you rant in the Pit.
It’s all starting to make sense now.
Maybe if you would have answered my question I would. But not returning to your own thread and/or answering a simple, polite question is rude. Otherwise, I didn’t know you enough to have a strong opinion. So here’s where you stand right now on the sliding scale:

Since I didn’t respond to the Pit thread-everything I had to say was already said by the time I got there-
MSk-How insecure do you have to be to start this thread? Really? I could start a thread titled “Who Lusts hardygrrl?” but I don’t need that much of an ego boost. Or ego reduction depending on how the responses go.
I’ll admit,I have my issues with insecurity. I was once convinced I had pissed off someone special because he didn’t answer the phone right away and sent him an email that in retrospect was pretty lame,begging his forgiveness for whatver I had done. Turns out he was sleeping and I was overreacting.
And the Dopers who know me off the board can testify that while I am the ballsy chick IRL that I am here,IRL I do have insecurities and moments of self doubt.
HOWEVER-I have never ever gotten to the point of starting a thread like this. I might smile when I see a flirt I started has gotten a response but I don’t base my day on that alone. I prefer to get my emotional/spiritual gratfication through real life interaction.
Think about it MSK.
Alright MSK - here is some honesty for you.
I guess I like you alright - although you seem a bit too needy most of the time which gets on my nerves (this thread is a prime example of neediness). You apparently pissed a lot of people off in chat for doing something that was just plain stupid and shouldn’t have been done in the first place (especially after being warned not to do it previously). You complain a lot about your life, however you don’t seem to be doing anything to make it better ie. counseling or therapy. Sometimes I just want to shake you and say “ya know what? life is hard - deal with it”. And sometimes I just want to give you a hug. I mostly wish that you would get some kind of help and at least a part time job. However, I realize that I am not an expert on the issue of your disorder…
