There is someone here on SDMB that I like a whole lot. I like the “cut of his jib.” I like what he says, and how he says it.
He’s not set up to accept private messages! If he was, I’d simply write him and say, “I want to be a member of your fan club!” But he isn’t…
What’s the best way to communicate this…or, really, is it so tacky and cloying and naive that it’s simply best not to bother? Is it best done in the Pit, as an “anti-Pit?” Or MPSIMS, or…just not done?
Calling people poopy-heads and stinkards in, say, Great Debates, is verboten, but is saying, “Doggone, bub, I love your posts” a good idea, a bad idea, or…?
Alas, they don’t receive PMs. Actually, I’m gonna use that as my clue. If they don’t want PMs, the sort of implies they aren’t very open to personal input.
I also tried to think it through on a “Golden Rule” basis: would I want someone to say something like this to me? (I should be so lucky?) Dunno; it might make me feel just a little embarrassed.
So… There exists a Doper, out there somewhere, whom I admire very much. Keep on keeping on. I’m your fan.
