I think I did this last summer as well. The rules are simple. Your post must compliment the poster directly before you. I'm first and get to pick anyone. Scott is a wonderful writer and his posts occasionally make me laugh out loud. And I mean Scott R, of course.

If celia starts more threads like this everyone is going to find out her real self is Sweetness and Light and she'll ruin her Evil reputation. AJ

Tom Davidson is the only Jatraquero I have seriously considered meeting up with in real life. He is consistently funny, down-to-earth, and generous. And he once called me 'sincere.' I have been sarcastic and flip ever since. Darn you, Mr. Davidson! Darn you to Sheol!

Kaioshin is obviously very young, but he tries to pay attention, and I like that. He's also better at following rules than certain Scott R's are. [ June 09, 2004, 04:10 PM: Message edited by: celia60 ]

Oh. . . Um. . . Rats. . . :thwack head against cactus: Celia is one of the few people whose posts I will go out of my way to pay attention to. She's funny-- and when she's serious, she's sincere. I dig that.

I've often disagreed with Telperion about the more *weighty* isssues, but he has always come across not only non-offensively, but not even annoying. He comes across as honest and sincere. And when it comes to lighter issues, he and I agree a *LOT*.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post about the person who posted about me, but... it isn't like the rules were that concrete! Phanto values his/her uniqueness (not sure of gender). What strength in a world where fitting in is often the most important thing!

Hmmm...as a new board member I don't know all ya'll that well. So, DocCoyote had the insight and education to spell all of the words correctly in his/her post! (yes, "all ya'll" is the proper plural form of ya'll, which is actually the singular form)

Farmgirl likes to debate issues here on hatrack, but shealways come across as wanting to hear others opinions. It doesn't mean that she will agree with them, but she alway seems to care what others have to say even when they don't agree with her. To me, that is a great thing..
