I recognize some here won't contribute because it's not cool, but I'd like to start the New Year off with some positivity, so I'm going to take the plunge Smile

What I like about engineer is that he's fact-based, rational and doesn't engage in angst arguments.

What I like about hightor is his reasoned, researched, logical opinions and he refutes with the best of them.

What I like about neptuneblue is her directness - she states what she feels/believes with no holds barred. Actually, ditto with Glitterbag.

What I like about Jespah is that she also is rational in her approach to the many issues she comments on. You can count on that. Noddy2!

What I like about edgar is his gentleness and basic acceptance of the way things are. And I love his stories.

What I appreciate about oralloy is his predictability - I don't have to even read his posts to know that 'evil progressives' will signify in there somewhere.

What I appreciate about maxdancona is his unflagging efforts to get people on side. Utter determination.

There are others I will add when I've refreshed my glass of wine and/or had a nap. But you... feel free to go for it Smile Lots of lovely redeeming attributes about people on here that shouldn't go unappreciated.

@Mame,
This is like middle school valentine's day.

It seems a little bitchy from where I am standing.

@maxdancona,
You always think that, but I can't understand why. I do appreciate your determination.

Can't you take this thread the way it was intended? I hope you have a great NY and really wonderful 2022, max.

I don't know what I like about you three ring characters. As Rosanne Rosanna Danna used to tell me, "If it's not one thing it's something else." Farmerman, Mame, Glittterbag, BillW, George, Jespah, Cobbler, "Sinbad the Sailor and Tinbad the Tailor and Jinbad the Jailer and Whinbad the Whaler and Ninbad the Nailer and Finbad the Failer and Binbad the Bailer and Pinbad the Pailer and Minbad the Mailer and Hinbad the Hailerand Rinbad the Railer and Dinbad the Kailer and Vinbad the Quailer and Linbad the Yailer and Xinbad the Phthailer. And everybody I left out. Love you all.

What I really like about Linkat is that she's determined to be nice, lol. She IS nice, of course, but I like her determination to be.

What I like about Roger is that he's... well, he's Roger. Met the guy and will always love that gentle soul.

What I like about Frank is - well, what's NOT to like? Met him too, and his is in person as he appears here. He's absolutely charming in person.

Coluber - his intelligence and his perseverance in the face of dogmatism and ignorance

@Mame,
If you don't enjoy Roger, there must be something wrong with you. 🎄

Thank you Glitterbag. I am going to assume you are being sincere. Able2know is a nasty place for people who don't fit in. I say this as someone who sees things from the outside this clique.

You want to brush over the nastiness here.... sorry, Mame is not the person to start a thread of good will.

If you want to start a thread of good will, then why not start by treating people outside the clique with kindness, rather than writing these saccharin Hallmark Cards.

This is a whitewashing of what is going on here.

@maxdancona,
Maybe you should start a thread on good cheer, that would be nice.

That would be awfully hypocritical of me.

I could have answered this thread with the fact that there are a few people here who I respect, who consider perspectives outside of the ideological bubble and treat people with decency.

I would rather be direct. As someone outside this clique, this thread feels nasty.

@maxdancona,
Able2know used to be a decent place that accepted diversity of opinions.

I had very good interactions in the past with Dyslexia, and Sozobe and Thomas.... people who were interesting and opinionated, but also decent and kind.

I miss this.

@maxdancona,
I'm just not in the mood for a pissing contest tonight, but you keep yourself happy. All the best in the coming year.
