To be sure. I met some of my best friends here, though they don’t post much anymore. ---

I have said from nearly day one I have found a home away from home here on the Dope. If anyone tells me this place has no worth and is out dated I will punch them squarely in the nose. I’m a late comer and still newbie-ish enough to marvel at the Charter members and all the old threads. It fascinates me that people have been here so long and have been so loyal. I just love this place on the internet and all the folks here. ---

This is why I so strongly dislike these kinds of threads. It’s all a popularity contest, and just when you think nothing could be worse than not being mentioned at all … ---

To be fair, there are a _lot_ of posters whose contributions I usually enjoy. Just because I haven’t mentioned a name doesn’t mean they’re not on that list. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > This is why I so strongly dislike these kinds of threads. It’s all a popularity contest, and just when you think nothing could be worse than not being mentioned at all … Then go with the ‘post’ option. I don’t normally follow Stranger directly, but when I bumped his post (and the follow-up I didn’t quote) I nearly spat my drink on my computer laughing. I’ve found people I disliked that still had that one gleaming, jewel-like post. ---

I like that people are spotlighting great posts. Like threadspotting made small. This also gives more opportunity for less prolific posters to have their valuable contributions recognized. ---

@Ann_Hedonia is back in extra fine form today (warning, PIT link) > **Summary** > > [A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers - #1984 by Ann\_Hedonia](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers/925537/1984) I try to avoid some of the political posts because not everyone has the same politics, but it is an incredibly well written and amusing post mocking a political Trump apologist (to the extreme) who has recently been cast aside by Trump. Bring tissues to wipe your eyes if you enjoy reading this sort of thing. ---

Since my last recommendation was full of a certain sardonic smirk, back to a post that reminds me that my smugness is sometimes at the cost to others. > [@This has to be a scam, yeah?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-has-to-be-a-scam-yeah/945471/26): > > Nobody is at their best at every moment of their lives, and people who are highly skilled and smart in specific fields can be innocent babes in other areas of human activity. I’m currently on a bit of a crusade against the whole ‘victims are stupid’ (’/and deserve to be scammed’) thing. > > I’ve been talking to scam victims about their experiences - they come from all walks of life; they are distributed across all age groups (another stupid myth is ‘only boomers’); I’ve spoken to one recently who is in a life-and-death job role where acute thinking is required and mental competence is frequently tested - not a stupid person by any reasonable standard. > > Scammers spray out a huge variety of scam scenarios, and people generally fall victim when they are in a situation or state that has already ‘primed’ them to accept the story, often through no particular fault or action of their own.

This one from @Measure_for_Measure > Collective guilt is a concept which should be resisted. Collective responsibility is another matter: among those responsibilities is a commitment to the truth. (Thread has been closed so I can’t link to it.) ---

@GIGObuster and @Stranger_On_A_Train have been mentioned already, but those two, as well as @jshore, for fighting the good fight. If we really are about fighting ignorance, they’ve done stellar work over the years.
