His contributions to the board to disspell ignorance, his quick wit, and his patience have earned Esprix an appreciation thread, in my massively unhumble opinion. He has managed through time to maintain a thread which disspells ignorance about gay people and often is successful in creating understanding. More than that, he also adds to the board in his flurry of posts on a plethora of topics and is able to maintain good humor and temper in a way that I hope some day to achieve. So, feel free to join in with how and why we appreciate this wicked stud muffin of the SDMB. ---

Why, because he’s absolutely gorgeous, of course. ---

He is a cutie…but he’s also one of my favorite posters. I agree with all that Hastur said. I always enjoy Esprix’s posts. Yes, he rocks. ---

Well, he’s admitted that he had a crush on me. And we **will** be meeting at the dopefest next weekend. I **would** like to make out with someone at the fest… but, alas, I’m not gay [sub]That and I’m not legal, keep your hands off, bub[/sub] ---

I have been an admirer of **Esprix** since before I even joined the Boards. He’s intelligent, witty and has enviable the ability to have fun no matter where he is. Bastard. 😉 **Esprix** is totally cool and … ya know, stuff. ---

I think **Esprix** is a class guy. Stand-up, standout poster. Very intelligent and always has something interesting to say. “One trick pony” notwithstanding, he’s the originator and driving force between the one of the most prolific sets of threads: “Ask the Gay Guy”. I’m not just saying this because he said he heard that I’m attractive and he was planning to go to an LA dopefest that I was thinking of attending. (For one thing, he heard wrong. For another, since I’m an incredibly insecure heterosexual, his presence actually scared me off.) [sub]not really[/sub] Seriously, the man is a distinctive, valued, and popular poster here. I wish him nothing but the best and salute him! [sub]Though he’ll never make my sig. No offense.[/sub] ---

Evidently, I agree that Esprix rocks. I always look forward to his posts. He’s gives intelligent and often hilarious answers and only loses his temper when it’s been earned several times over. Hats off to you, good sir! ---

I like him because he’s gay, so he doesn’t try to steal my women. 😉 ---

Esprix is gay? Get outta here! Next thing you’ll be saying Doob is, too. Anyhoo, I think Esprix is nice, intelligent, and witty. He would probably be a ton of fun to hang out with IRL. Zette 🙂 ---

Chalk up another “me too” here. **Esprix** and I haven’t had too much interaction on the boards, but I do enjoy reading his posts. I’m sorry I don’t really have anything new or insightful to add, but this is a well-deserved thread. Nice call, **Hastur**. ---

My first experience was with **Esprix**. I stumbled on to the SDMB (Lord only knows how) thread regarding the Elf who wanted to be a dentist. Prior to this I had never heard of the boards. He posted, and I clicked on his sig link. Oh dear. 280-some posts later… I just-can’t-seem-to-pull-myself-away… Cheers! Ginger ---

Oh, go on… and on and on and on… 😉 **Beadalin** , **Euty** , **Zette** , **Crunchy** , **Ginger** , really, thank you very much. Your words make me proud. Frankly, a few things have happened lately, both IRL and online, that have made me consider how much time I spend here at the SDMB and if I shouldn’t take a long, long break from things, so your kindness really comes at the most opportune time. Again, thank you - it is most appreciated. Esprix ---
