So three Dopers appreciate me? Damn, y’all are a cold bunch.
Aww. I know that these friend requests are meaningless and that you were joking, but I had to befriend you, Boyo Jim.
That’s sweet! I have performed an equally empty and meaningless gesture and accepted you as my SDMB friend.
"Kum By Yah, My Lord
Kum By Yah… "
Meaningless warm fuzzies!
I decided to make a larger meaningless empty gesture of warm fuzzies. I have invited all of you who have been kind enough to respond in this thread to be by SDMB buddies, except for those of you who got to me first.
This has made my whole day. That’s an unfortunate indicator of the present quality of my life, but WTF? 
<Narrows gaze> I’ll accept, Boyo, but this doesn’t mean I won’t say mean things about you in the future.
All my friends trash talk me.
I’ll bet they do… jerk!
Nothing personal me foin boyo, but I wouldn’t know what to do with a friend.

Do what you’ve done to all your friends. Betray them.
Every one of them, sadly enough. sigh

No, three dopers that actively use the feature appreciate you. Few people have very many “friends” unless they come from threads like this.
Also, I described it poorly. It’s not that they appreciate you as a person. I mean more that that. It’s more of a thank you for helping them out, like, say with a problem in GQ, or lending an ear when they are feeling down and everyone else is just ignoring or attacking.
For example, I got a PM from someone saying they appreciated me. Of course I added them as a friend. Heck, I’d add more people if there weren’t so many cynical people here. I don’t want people to be skeptical of my motivations.
