The Compliment Thread

lumberjim · 12-12-2003, 08:33 AM

I'm setting this up to have a place where you can formally register a compliment about another member of the cellar.

if we could avoid thread drift and sarcasm here, it will work a lot better

you don't have to think of something nice to say about everyone and list it all at once, i was thinking something more like: when you are impressed by someone, you come over here, make the persons name the topic of the post, and put down what it is that impressed you. Also, it isn't neccessary to reply to a post unless you have something to ad, or a seperate instance of how you were impressed by that person. (I don't think rebuttals or arguments would be useful) we will assume that the posts herein are the opinion of the post-er, and don't represent fact, and therefore should not be argued against.

Grow up? Who wants to grow up?

I'd like to compliment UnderToad for encouraging me to check out the wild, wacky, and mega-timewasting world of blogs.

For having patience, intelligence, and wisdom. At least as it pertains to the Cellar...

I would just like to thank all who took part in the second part of the "Strawberry Thread".
The banter about what colour to post replies in was the funniest thing I've read for weeks.
It was a Hoot.

Shame about the wee Hampster though.

2. maintaning the IOTD thread
3. walking the line between mod and member

good job, Tony. It means a lot to a lot of people.
