Maybe this should have been in IMHO, but it’s really dumb, so I posted it here.
Just list a few members who don’t irritate you. I know, it’s going to be most of them, but I’m just asking for a few. Like this:
Posters who don’t irritate me -[ul]Rue DeDay - Even if I have nothing to contribute, I can still read his threads and laugh.
FairyChatMom - Duh.
welby - He’s funny and stuff.
Scylla - Masterful. Sure, he gets political once in a while, but I tend to agree with him, so he doesn’t irritate me.
Fenris - I love most of his stuff (the stuff I don’t love is stuff I don’t understand, like when he talks about musical theater). Same as ** Scylla** on the “politics” thing.
Anthracite - When she makes an authoritative statement, you can take it to the bank. I’d ask her to marry me, but she plays for the other team. And she might hit me on the head with a big wrench or something.
beegirl13 - She had a link to a thread I started in her sig for a while. I only found out about it recently. Keep posting, kid. We like you.
Coldfire, Unclebeer, and Cajun Man - for not moving this to the Pit where I’ll get my but flamed off. Or, in the alternative, closing it before it gets completely embarassing for lame.[/ul]
Quagdop the Mercotian (sorry if I butchered your name) has got to be one of the best posters on the board. The guy is always willing to give appropriate levels of accurate medical info as well as share his unbelieveble knowledge of all of Middle Earth.
Gotta say Aesiron. He picked up on a real shitty week of heavy emotional content I was having a while back and e-mailed me privately instead of letting it be misread in a Trek thread. Tha’s a real person. Vivalostwages 'cause she’s so damn cute! Mind, personality, and looks. (I’m a fairly good photographer, girlie, so no more “My online Pics make me look funny/weird” stuff. I think you’re pretty and your pic is fine. Let me do one up real nice for ya, if you need to see your beauty for yourself.) She was my 1st Doper Crush and is still my fave Doper Crush.
Q.E.D. has never given me a right answer, not even once, so he gets a vote here, too. gotcha ya!
Skeezix. I like.
Flammebaby, you’re amazing. FlammsteretteX or however she does it…
All of the airplane loving Dopers! That was a really nice thread, thanks to y’all.
Okay, this was destined to become yet another “post your favorite posters” thread from the start, wasn’t it?
It just had that one little fatal flaw:
THE INITIAL PREMISE WAS STUPID, and anybody with an IQ in the room-temperature range could pick out the huge gaping hole.
It’s just like that “Unknown Posters” thread I started. The hole in the premise for this thread is big enough to drive a truck through.
Seriously, given what I presented in the OP, you have to discount the posters who do irritate you, but you can’t list your favorites, because that would be “damning them with faint praise.” I listed a few of my favorites anyway.
Therefore, we must conclude that I have come up with yet another stuipd idea. An inability to learn is indicative of something serious, right?
Yeesh. I need to turn the “think before you post” circuit in my brain back on.
Since I’ve started, there’s only been two posters that rub me like a hair shirt. One of them has gone away and the other I just skip the reading of. (No, I do NOT use “Ignore List”. Ever. I think it is un-Dope.) Oh wait, there’s another one around here once in a while, but we don’t cross paths too often.
So, other than that no one really irritates me. Everyone else is my Best Friend Ever.
Except for Exgineer. He’s a whiney little git.
-Rue. (the kidder of Ex)
I like you too Exgineer. You’re funnier than me. Neither of us is funnier than Rue though. I think that would take a compact witht he devil or something. Oddly enough, most of my “they don’t annoy me types” are the same ones on your list, though I also find the many different bears fun to read, and everybody else mentioned in the thread except for that welby bastard. I don’t like him one bit. Fairy Chat Mom is one of my favorites, mainly because she brought cake to the NOVA Dope and because she’s clever.
And Eutychus. I like Euty too.
Hmm. Now that I think about it, I get the feeling you’re trying to get some kind of cool poster clique started. I don’t want to be part of a clique, I always get thrown out.
Easy tiger! If they offer you a chance to join then take it.
Most cliques and elitist groups these days have all sorts of benefits on membership - from affordable pension schemes to family health care plans. Hell, with the Free Masons you get a 15% discount at Walmart.
I wouldn’t believe a word he says Lissa. Looks like you irritated him to the point that he made a post just for you. I, on the other hand, hold you in the highest respect.
