Having a bad day? Need a compliment?

I’ve got your solution!

Here’s how it works:

Take the time to read a few threads featuring the last person to post to this thread. Think for a minute and post a sincere paragraph or two complimenting that person. The next person will compliment you. Since I get complimented first, I’ll wait till this thread goes a day or two without any posts and then I’ll compliment the last person so nobody gets left out.

Grab yer shorts…Sgt. Veb of the Thought Police checking in…

**Scylla** is the rarest of the rare: an honest man. Not diplomatic; screw euphamisms and squishy thought, he’s gonna say it like he sees it. High minded, bright, refined of thought with a street-fighter’s disdain for cant and dweebishness.

All in all, a helluva pissant, kind, funny, tough sideways poster.

Vebbie!! Where have you been, dear?

I don’t need to read up on Vebbie’s posting history. I will just suffice by stating she’s one of the most eloquent posters on board. Friendly, caring, and always insightful.

We need more people like her.

Now, do ME, you slackers 🙂

I tried the search function, but couldn’t find any threads with anyone named ColdFelcher. Are you a newbie or something?

Coldfire is always a positive force on the boards. He brings peace where before, there was violence. He knows good beer, but not good music. He knows the board so well he can hunt trolls quickly and without flaw. I think he has a “Spidey Sense” about them.

Demo has a really promising future in modeling bizarre headgear.

He’s got a thing for Shiva, which, depending on how you look at it, could be good or bad. 😉

And he didn’t laugh at me for liking Weezer.

Anti Pro is a dollface. She is loving and kind, and always puts a positive spin on whatever she speaks to.

She is honest, she is open, and she is funny. She is a good mom, and has sacrificed to BE a good mom. I think that Anti Pro shines.

I am honored to call her my friend, and I hope she feels the same way about me.

Scotti has a way with words and she always has a kind thing to say about everybody. She sees the good in people and is empathetic and compassionate.

Plus, I’m pretty sure that she’s really an adorable Scotty terrier with a blue bow! :^) Either way, Scotti rocks.

Welfy is a lot of fun, and very creative. Anyone who keeps her room a constant mess can’t be all bad. It’s probably a sign of creative genius. Her posts are usually interesting and fun to read. 🙂

After checking out the SD People Pages, I discovered that **pricciar** has a smile that can only be described as radiant. He’s hilarious and in tune with all of his fellow dopers as evidenced [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34056) and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=29482&pagenumber=2). My verdict? **pricciar** is just generally smashing. 🙂

I can compliment **Serendipity** from just reading one of her posts.

From the “What cartoon character would you be…”

> [@](#):
>
> I would have to go with Anastasia

How cool is that?! In my book that’s schway cool. That shows a want to have a very independent and strong character, and to also have a strong family relationship. Excellent qualities in a person. After reading a few other posts, **Serendipity** comes across as a very caring and intelligent person. With a good sense of humor.

Plus, she’s sorta a newbie like me. 😃

**Serendipity** , in our brief acquaintance with her, has been very sympathetic and sweet.

Well… I’m off to eat my worms.

…and I really did need a compliment after the day I had today. \<sniff\> Oh well, guess that’s what I get for posting at 2200 on a Saturday when all the cool kids are out partying or on dates. 😃

**Simetra** made me burst out laughing the other day when he posted…

He seems to be an all around good guy. He responds to people’s responses to his thread…and is definately good at complementing others.

Of course, I also have to say that I think guys in glasses are sexy. 😉
