The Positive Thread

[Dee]

Negativity breads negativity, positivity breeds positivity.

I thought that there was some value in starting this thread... it is dedicated to saying sincere positive things about other members.

I mean it... don't try to slip one by by saying a positive which is really a negative... for those (like me) who have been involved in battles this might mean not even posting a sincere positive comment because it may be taken as a negative. For example if I said... nope I won't go there as I'd be doing what I want to prohibit.

At times we gripe and complain but, while we don't want to do it 24/7, it's nice to celebrate the positive from time to time.

I don't want to be hooky but the Olympics inspired me to start this thread... I was rather cool towards them but in the end I find my heart bursting with pride because of the Canadian athletes... win lose or draw... for the most part they are wonderful, modest, highly accomplished, people.

I'll start:

Techman truly does have a deep knowledge of IT and is generous with helping others.

With respect to the sex scene he has a vast "corporate knowledge" in the sense he's been around the scene for a long time... this brings an insight that is rare.

He has known many a lady involved in clubs and can bring their point of view to the boards.

He is open minded enough to become good friends with one that he used to battle with.

He stands four-square against child pornography and the sexual exploitation of children.

Thanks Doc... well said... I don't think I've ever seen legal matters explained so clearly and succinctly and with the appropriate caveats as by EB.... if all lawyers were like him no one would be like the fellow looking for a one armed lawyer... why was he looking for that... because every lawyer he met said: On the one hand, but on the other hand!

and I hope he isn't offended by this: He is a really nice guy when you meet him in person.

J. Peterman(son) had great posts about mundane things in life like winter tires and winter shelters. Always useful.
Oliver klosolof (spelling) is the most entertaining and funny poster to read.
YouVantOption is really knowlegeable about websites and I've learned reading his posts.
Merlot is a kind and wise soul.

I'm sorry Merlot, I do not understand what you are meaning to say. Everything I praised Techman for I meant and I'm confident most others share my opinion. I left out other positive comments as, given my history, they might have been construed in a way I didn't intend.

In this world of woe it actually does feel good to post and see positive comments. It is also a way of giving a small thanks to those who have been helpful to us all.

Your positive participation in this thread is most welcome and will be greatly respected I'm sure.

Thanks very much for considering what I have said.

Best regards.

I'm sorry Merlot, I do not understand what you are meaning to say.

Best regards.

"What do you mean funny, funny how?" Tommy DeVito...Goodfellas. Just funny.

Special K: humorous, to the point, helpful, typically above personal squabbles.

JMan: friendly, good-humored.

Maria Divina: beautiful, sweet, intelligent, compassionate and caring.

Techman: honest, willing to listen and accept, most direct.

Lilly Lombard: WONDERFUL!

Cheers,

Merlot

Friends...real or virtual...

Thought I would start with a couple of positive quotes...there are literally thousands and that's before you get in to the sports quotes...but I liked these because they ring so true:

“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours” Sweedish Proverb

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou


I only know most of you "virtually" so far. But that said I still felt there were things I could say about the people I've met (in life or here virtually). Sorry up front if I've left anyone out. Here goes:

Dee: What a great move starting this thread.

Lily-Rose: Beautiful in every sense. Kind, genuine, intelligent, fun loving, sensual, sexy, sweet ... I could go on but it's in her review.

Merlot: What a way with words; articulate and colorful; intelligent; knows who to root for in MLB.

Special K: To the point; helpful; obviously a good judge of MLB teams.

EagerBeaver: Well spoken; well versed; best legalese.

Doc Holliday: dedicated; colorful; creative review style.

Ariane Valmont: well spoken; intelligent; great opinions (even in disagreement)

Merb smileys: .......I got nothin'...lol

Have fun!

Eastender:

I think I said this a long time ago, but I'll repeat it here. When he used to post longer posts on various matters, I would often start reading them thinking that he was wrong and then end up questioning my initial view.

Additionally he has street creds, is a clear writer, has much more then superficial knowledge in a number of diverse areas and contributes as a volunteer in the community.

Hmmmm,

I'm sorry Merlot, I do not understand what you are meaning to say.

Praise for reaching your goal is a good thing Dee.

Cloudsurf: a gentleman, and great board member.

Regular Guy: another great gentleman, incredible writer, and a friend to all.

Roland: rare posts, very brief, tolerates the green board, kind to animals.

Johnmbot: quirky, funny, always entertaining.

CockAsian: always horny...did I say he was horny...lol.

Cheers,

Merlot

There are people in this hobby that I encounter that are real dears. Jman, you are one of them. Of all the numerous human qualities that you possess, I believe that your greatest one is your generosity. Thank you for your kind words. It deeply moved me.

Dee, great job on this thread. I don’t know many people here, but I always appreciate the writings of intelligent and funny gentlemen.

Take care and have fun!

Lily-Rose

P.S. Mr. Merlot, please note that I also read the sports section sometimes

 

[Ariane Valmont]

Ariane Valmont: well spoken; intelligent; great opinions (even in disagreement)

Thank you Jman.

It's always a pleasure to exchange ideas with you.

 

[Maria Divina]

Thank you Merlot! and thank you Dee...!!!!!

Merci to Merlot for your so sweet thoughts about myself. You made my day with those compliments... That's always great to feel to be appreciated and estimated. xx xx xx xx xx

I can say about you that you are one of the best receiver and attentive person I know.

and merci to you too Dee, that's a nice idea to have started this thread and try to focus on the positive.

I can say about you that you have a fantastic humor sense, and that you are able to face difficult experiences with it. Look like you have a great innert strenght.



I could tell so much about a lots of people here, but that will look a bit strange because this is coming from an escort.... but I am truly appreciating a lots of members here for their individual participations, and the qualities we could conclude they are blessed to have after reading them. I had the chance to meet a lots of you much more in GT's, and that was fantastic to be able to talk to you in person. I felt really lucky to have found such nice people.

Kudos to protagoras for his wonderfully thorough and helpful posts on Brazil. Bravo and well done.
