JB:  I've thanked you before for all of your work on this site, and I just want to say that I really appreciate seeing all of your work and reading your words about the various things we talk about around here.

But I've also got something to say to the mods:  I just want to thank all the mods and other folks who run this board.  The tons of traffic this place gets means that there is a lot of work to be done, and I think you guys are all doing a great job.

Without getting into specifics, one of the threads got disrupted by a few malcontents over the weekend, and the whole mess was cleaned up quickly.  That's great, and we all notice it. 

Every mod here -- even Matt Reed who hurt my feelings terribly about a year ago when he called me "Mr. Sensitive" (I still cry myself to sleep over that!) -- deserves a cold one, and if I ever meet up with you guys in real life, I'm buying a round!  (Matt, let me know next time you're up in St. Cloud.)

Thanks so much for making this a pleasant place to hang out.

stoopid typo

If there's any way for me to second that without ever having to have my lips
actually touch the butt-flesh, please consider it done!

Hear! Hear!

"The Ass-Kissing Thread"

***

So, Mike, based on the title, we should assume your statements are not sincere?

Yeah, I hate it when self-righteous weirdos come and make trouble.

Thanks for the kind words, Mr. Sensiti...er...um...Mike!  They're much appreciated!  I get up to St. Cloud once every couple of years, so I'm due for another visit Christmas '07.  I'll bring Monte and it'll be old home week at Bravo Burritos!

Wow, a thread for people on this board to come and kiss John Byrne's ass.

That never happens in any of the other threads.

There's nothing wrong with a little butt kissing.  This is my favorite place on the internet, so Kudos to everyone involved.

Gee, Elliot, I'm sorry that you have a problem with reading, since it's obvious that I was addressing my comments primarily to the mods this time.

I'll type slower so you can keep up from now on.

****

"Butt-kissing" and "Ass-kissing" are pejoratives,
directed at people who suck up to others, but who
are not sincere.

There's nothing wrong with sincere compliments.
Are we really so messed up that even these have to
be turned into something we have to sneer at?
