Let’s not forget about **Stephi** and **ladydisco** who are people whose company I enjoy 🙂 Oh… and that **CuriousCanuck** is damn sexy 😉 ---

I find **Giraffe** ’s leering in flirt threads hilarious. **Exgineer** is kind and encouraging to newbies and lurkers. **Rue** is wonderfully random. ---

Two I’ve noticed as of late that can both superbly present a compelling, sensical arguement are **DanielWithrow** and **Derleth**. And ditto on most everyone else mentioned above. BTW, I miss **DuckDuckGoose**. ---

**Manda JO** has this tendency of displaying so much good sense that it’s downright spooky. ---

Dang it, I got the numbers wrong! Sorry **scout** ybaby. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by scout1222 \* > **Thanks, GfH! Incidentally, I read a post you made in the Comfort Thread a day or so ago. And I burst into tears, because it was the exact same thing that I could have said. Although you were speaking for yourself, I felt as if you were speaking for me, too.** Aww, sweetie! We **really** need to meet one of these days. I have a feeling that you are my West Coast doppelganger. Big skanky hugs, girlfriend! ---

Well, I always get a laugh from reading stories by **Rue de Day** or **Scylla**. **Exgineer** always seems to try really hard to be fair to people with low post counts, which I think is great. **Qadgop the Mercotan** looks like he has a good set of facts available on a couple of subjects, and tells them in an entertaining way. Ditto for **Badge** about police topics. ---

**Polycarp** inspires me as a person not afraid to express his beliefs on a largely skeptical message board, and earning the respect of those with the most opposing of view points. I know my junior high English teacher would make me try to diagram that sentence as punishment for such a poorly constructed clause, but he’s not here. ---

**CrankyAsAnOldMan** has been practically a surrogate mom to me, except far too young and not nearly cranky enough to actually be my mom. **bristlesage** and I were seperated at birth. Actually, I’m not sure if that’s really a compliment to her. Anyway. Watch for the insanity - coming soon to a ChiDope near you. **manhattan** is the most generous person I know. Period. I am so happy I know him. **Zappo** , **Anahita** , and **SueDuhnym** are all unbelievably thoughtful people. When I grow up, I’m going to be exactly like **tomndeb** , but more female. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally Posted by AuntieEm:_ > Homebrew (back off, swampbear, he’s mine–though if you have a penis, I may lose out on this one) You lose! 😃 You can flirt with **Homebrew** all you like dear. I’ll be the one to drag him back to my cave at night. [sub]geez, if and when **Homebrew** sees this, hope he doesn’t run away.[/sub] ---

**glarGH** writes the best rants ever. I also appreciate the scolarship of **Darwin’s Finch** and **Ben** in evolution threads. I enjoy the input in religious discussions by **Polycarp** and **Libertarian**. I appreciate the placid tone and wide range of knowledge in the posts of **tomndebb**. I appreciate **DDG’s** “coffee.” 😉 I think that **vanilla** is one of the nicest fundies around. As wacky as he can be, for some reason I like **lekatt**. There are too many others to mention.
