dreamingoftigers Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 This is sort of a response to the bitterness thread. I selected some of the regulars at random and I am keeping the list short, so don't feel left out. I hope that a lot more people add to here. Even if we don't agree with everyone's lifestyle or relationship choices, I am sure we can agree that just about everyone on here has something constructive and unique to offer. Let's celebrate the positives: flying: I see you as being quite open-minded and able to see both side of an issue carhill: It's really great the way you welcome all of the new people to Loveshack. It is also really great how you share from personal examples to really try to help those that are hurting get the ball rolling with actions to make their situations better. Jennie-jennie: You share your viewpoint in a respectful way and you never insult others even when they insult you and I think that is incredibly commendable. CrazyCatLady: You seem to have such empathy for those in tough situations, you also seem like a very gentle and open-minded person. Owl: I think the advice and suggestions that you have for the men that come on here searching for answers is excellent! I think we could all recognize each other a little.

Nemicron Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Very kind of you to add this thread. Thank you for being positive. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dreamingoftigers Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thanks Partner, I think this thread got lost in the shuffle. Time to boost it up and stay optimistic. Maybe I should have titled it "YOU ARE ALL SO F***ING STUPID!" just to get people to come into the thread. Just kidding. Link to post Share on other sites
denise_xo Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Maybe I should have titled it "YOU ARE ALL SO F***ING STUPID!" just to get people to come into the thread. Just kidding. Totally OK, so a random selection: - yourself for very considered and thoughtful posts - GorillaTheater for I'm not sure what, I just consistently like his posts (and for the charming av) - GoldPile for all the good stories - donnamaybe for relentless, sarcastic effort at the gender war threads (and another great av) - Feelin Frisky for being warm, smart and special Link to post Share on other sites
Crusoe Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I think we could all recognize each other a little. I haven't read her words for a long while, but RonnieW, is/was an absolute sweetheart. Link to post Share on other sites
Crusoe Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I should also add, Gunny is one wise and sharp old fella, knows what it is all about. Also, TBF. That girl can chew nails and sh*t bricks. My type of woman. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 There appears to be a mutual fan club. Too bad Crusoe joined in 2009, instead of earlier. I probably would have taken a run at him when single. Tough guy, alpha males are my kind of guy. The ones who give the number one sign to stupidity. Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 - GorillaTheater for I'm not sure what I get that alot. Carhill, for his unflagging willingness to help others with consistently top-notch device. Flying, for being one smart, funny cookie. TBF, for being a good sport despite how many times I yank her chain. Taramere, for being so utterly smart and articulate it nearly brings tears of joy to my eyes. TaraMaiden, for perfectly balancing wisdom and crustiness. 2sure, for being generally fantastic. Phineas, for being a tough hombre who hasn't let adversity hold him down. Denise XO, for liking my posts. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 GT for his single-handed attempt to repopulate the entire Earth. Taramere for her balance between emotion and intellect. And the elegance of her text. Link to post Share on other sites
denise_xo Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I get that alot. Haha, sorry I couldn't be more specific. I forgot Philetus - for intelligent and honest posting. Link to post Share on other sites

I probably would have taken a run at him when single. Tough guy, alpha males are my kind of guy. The ones who give the number one sign to stupidity. Woman. You never fail to bring a smile to my face. I'd have chewed you up and spat you out. That's how stupid I am. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Whew, then it's a good thing you joined when you did since I'm a real softie when it comes to people I care about. Regardless, I'll still enjoy your posts on LS. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dreamingoftigers Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 OKay, now we are on a roll: bentnotbroken: standing up for your beliefs with strength, courage and class. Being able to laugh it all off when people get a little nutty with you. jthorne: great wisdom! Woggle: The ability to be open-minded even though your personal experiences would pre-dispose you to be otherwise. Since I started logging on here, you posts have changed in tone even though some may not recognize it and your committment to your morals is commendable despite your embittering experiences. (run-on sentence) Don Ho - when you get back on here: you take no crap, good for you! Link to post Share on other sites
Crusoe Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'm a real softie when it comes to people I care about. That, I already know. Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 That, I already know.How do you know this? Ronnie is also an LS member who's pretty cool. She doesn't appear to allow emotion to overwhelm her decision-making. Link to post Share on other sites
Crusoe Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 How do you know this? I look in the mirror. Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 First and foremost the moderation staff for their fair and balanced moderation of my heinous outbursts of vulgarity. Members, in no particular order, ladies first.... whichwayisup for sensitive, yet firm advice and the clarity to look at and for both sides of the story. Mary3, for her unabashed and unwavering interest in and advice about sex TBF, variously Trialbyfire/Threebyfate, for her logical and well-considered arguments and advice. donnamaybe, for reminding me that I suck at witty, incisive and cutting come-backs. Gentlemen: Owl, for his singular interest in, persistence regarding and advice pertaining to affairs. His posts were a great help while I was in the midst of my affair to see the unhealthiness and hurt it caused. Kudos. JamesM, for his calm and cool-headed recitations of some very painful parts of his life and his resolve to see his way through, no matter what obstacles others might throw up or what criticisms on this board flow his way. Wogs, for singular valor in the face of repeated personal attacks and insults and never a harsh rebuttal nor invective hurled in return. He's faced a lot and at a young age and shows maturity far beyond his young years. When I feel a 'f*ck you' coming on, I think of Wogs and reconsider. GorillaTheater, contrary to his provactive avatar, a quiet and wise contributor, reflective of his professional credentials and family success. Successes come from quiet perseverence. CaliGuy, on voluntary hiatus right now, but a long-lived, introspective and daresay 'hip' contributor. Great advice for the single man navigating the minefields of dating. Obviously, there are many more, but those names struck me first when reading the topic. Without *all* the individuals here, LS wouldn't be the community it is. It sure has helped me a lot Link to post Share on other sites
threebyfate Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 carhill for his tailored advice which considers the sensitivities of the opening poster first. Lady Jane for her ballsy attempt to make a difference in divorce busting and understanding the psyche of an infidelist. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dreamingoftigers Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 *sounds of crickets chirping* C'mon we can get more compliments out of everyone on the forum then that.

D-Lish for her positive contributions to LS, always giving solid advice which considers not only the good of the opening poster but also, their sensitivities, wants and desires.

anne1707 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Star Gazer - for being a strong woman who can also recognise where she sometimes gets things wrong and never thinks her viewpoint is the only one that matters on LS. Owl - my absolute hero Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Owl- level headed . Anne1707- a true -hearted woman. 2sure- the kind of "cougar", I always hoped to meet. D-lish- wonderfully soulful.

always_searching Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Me thinks this is going to turn into a popularity contest. Either way, I'll contribute. The best compliment I can give is that if I were President of LoveShack, I would pick these people to be on my cabinet: VP: JamesM Secretary of State: TBF Attorney General: Skydiveaddict Secretary of Homeland Security: Tony Secretary of Education: Teacher's Pet Secretary of Health and Human Services: alphamale Secretary of Veterans Affairs: Carhill Secretary of Energy: northstar1 Secretary of Treasury: Gold Pile Secretary of Labor: DesertIslandCactus Those are all of the cabinet members I can think of right now... Oh, and Homecoming Queen to D-Lish Homecoming King to Owl Master of the Universe: Art_Critic Rival for Master of the Universe: Johan Edited November 8, 2010 by always_searching Link to post Share on other sites
