I like to post when it touches home since I'm newly fading I would like to see wt crumble. Only cause the lies and hurt they caused not of the individuals themselves cause I think their decent human beings getting the blind shaft
I post if subject touches me but sometimes I could say so much and don't cause I cant type that fast, However I believe its important for one to be acknowledged

I like an interesting choice of an avatar and name,and someone who has their own perspective on things.Someone who seems to always be kind and wise,like Mr Flipper!!!! he was one of the first posters that I started following because I could always count on some interesting info,and he was KIND....I like the weirdos too.We all make a fabulous crowd,dont we?

I usually don't like the sugary sweet ones...
Had enough of that crap from my parents - sugary sweet in front of other people - whenever they had an "audience", but nasty as h*ll at home. So whenever I see a sugary sweet poster, my first gut-level reaction is that I'm looking at a major hypocrite... And I can't STAND hypocrites.
[Now, don't panic, those of you who consider yourselves "sweet"... There's more to come.]
BUT!
If a person shows a bit of "vinegar"... Shows that they have a "spine"... Shows some "sass", so to speak... In addition to the "sweetness"...
THEN I'm in "luf"!!!
Too much "sugar" sends me into diabetic shock - and I'm NOT diabetic...

I won't name names because the problem is probably mine, not the posters' but am I not alone in this view? ..."
No, Mad Sweeney, you're not alone in that view... And due to the enforced black-out, I cannot publicly state certain names, so I have no way of knowing whether we're referring to the same person/persons, although your reference to condescension makes me suspect that we are talking about the same popular posters... Ones who also give me that familiar "nails on a blackboard" feeling... [ Good way of describing it!!]
But then, I'm jes' an evil lil' She-Devil, so who listens to me???

I like 'em all....the good, the bad, and the ugly. All of them have something to offer. We are all like flowers in a garden. Some require lots of light and gentle handling. Some are drought resistant and tough to kill...like weeds. Others are beautiful and colorful and stand out. Others have a foul smell, but once past that, there is a tender beauty. Some have wilted over and are almost to the point of no return, but with gentle watering, kind attention, a little trimming, and TLC, they begin to blossom and grow.
