First, of course, my comrades on the mod team…..there is not a bad apple in this bunch, regardless of our occasional slip-ups , miscues and oversights. vauge has an eagle’s eye for good people seen through the backwards telescope of the internet.
vauge - Simply the best person around here. Has been nothing but gracious and kind since the day I first got here well over a year ago and started a “Hello“ thread….seems so long ago now. Never seen him say an impolite or disrespectful word to anyone. He is what they mean by “good people.”
Pacridge - My first and bestest DP friend - comrade-in-arms during the early days of DP. Even stuck by me during my absence. Probably the only reason I even came back here. Going to give me a sweet job in the Caribbean. Gotta love that.
cnredd - What can I say? Kick-*** funny, an incisive & relentless debater and a great friend. Anyone who says they don’t like him can kiss my ***. You just don’t know…….
Tashah - Good. Beautiful. Brilliant. Can explain the minutiae of cosmological theory and likes the feel of a badass bass groove pummeling up her spine. Is there anything not cool about this chick?
Kelzie - Possesses a wit that could cut glass. Also a relentless and committed debater, but never loses her sense of humor……and knows when to interject it when the heat goes up. And she calls people “hun” - I just like that.
Gandhi>Bush - Fellow pacifist. Shows such patience in explaining the theory of non-violent resistance over and over and over again. Will join all us heathens at Gandhi’s Two Turntables and a Microphone tea party blowouts in hell.
GarzaUK - Funny and sweet. Asks all the hard-hitting questions, like….well, have you guys checked out the Everything you want to know about gays thread yet? Just go see, I don’t wanna say it here.
Simon W. Moon - Mr. Elegance. Expresses himself with clarity, class and the sort of dry, inscrutable humor that I love. Even when I don’t “get it” ‘til hours later.
shuamort - Gawd….so funny, smart, interesting. Introduced me to a stripper’s forum which has supplied hours of laughs and, ehem, interesting reading material. Even my kids like that one…….eh, they’re old enough - get over it.
galenrox - ****in’ sweetheart, man. Smart and funny and uses the descriptive “fantastic” to its utmost potential. Totally ****ing endearing he is. Fantastic!
Arch Enemy - Another sweetheart that I’d like to hear more from. From what I’ve seen he is bright and funny. Can’t say I like his taste in music, but he is young, he’s still got time to develop an ear.
Right@NYU – Very formidable debater with a dichotomous and lovable penchant for low humor. His avatar choices are ****ing weird, though.
And the rest of us……
independent_thinker2002 – Funny and smart. Fellow traveler on the heartbreak highway. Hasn’t been around much lately. Miss him.
aps – Loved her since the very day she showed up around here. Brought new life to the liberal contingency on the board and keeps bringin’ it on every day. Thank you, babe!
Stace – Adorable and funny. Smart and brassy. Won’t back down to anybody on this board no matter how imposing they present themselves to be. Gotta respect that. Will be giving birth to the 1st official DP baby. If you haven’t seen the ultrasounds yet, head on over the Member Pic thread and check out the little peanut.
teacher – Outrageously funny and uninhibited. Laying it all out on the line may the heavens fall. Has a gift for consciousness streaming that is unmatched at DP.
AlbqOwl – This woman has impeccable class and is always a pleasure to debate. Has a wacky, funny streak on the side, too. See: The person below me thread.
Naughty Nurse – What can I say - simply the most lovable person at DP. Makes me laugh, laugh, laugh….and is the best thing to happen to the Word Game thread since its inception.
Gardener – My favorite new DP member. SUPERB taste in music. So incredibly droll and so glad you are here!
GySgt – So long ago, months even, I couldn’t stand him. I still don’t agree with all of his views, but I respect his commitment and eloquence very much. I think the only member of this forum that has, individually, modified some of my own positions on the war. And his dry sense of humor – priceless.
Deegan – Has been known to drive me out of my friggin’ skull. Stopped calling me miss – now calls me mixey, which I kind of like. Have not, as of yet, managed to stay mad at him for long. Too damn likable.
jallman – A true Southern gentleman…..until you **** him off and then WATCH OUT!! Can lay into both Nazis and flaming queen trolls with equal amounts of vulgar aplomb. And then turn around and tell you about the delightful apple tarts he made over the weekend. Remarkable.
The Real McCoy – Always enjoy reading his sound and well-reasoned posts. Keeps his cool. Has a great sense of humor. Lots of fun on the old Person Below Me thread……we gotta jumpstart that dead thread. I miss it.
MrFungus420 – Another member I have always respected. Not always agree with – but respect his non-offensive style. Then I saw him in a corset……hmmmmmmmm……gotta love a guy who can pull off a corset and high heels without looking like Phyllis Diller on steroids.
alphieb – Seems like just another sweet lil ol’ gal. But can hold her own among even the big guns around here. Tougher than she looks.
George_Washington – Drives me a little nuts sometimes, but he’s a sweet guy. I’ve almost gotten over him starting that Bring Back Public Executions thread.
ptsdkid – The only Stormfront member I have ever personally known. That’s saying something. His particular brand of sardonic beastliness is strangely affecting over time.
Navy Pride – No matter how many times he makes me want to spit fire, I just can’t dislike the guy. I don’t understand it, NP. What is it about you?
Calm2Chaos – Must be what Darth Vader is like when he’s not busy squashing rebellions. Another one who used to drive me nuts, but has grown on me.
Trajan Octavius Titus – Oh my, where does one start? Highly capable of engaging in sound and well-considered debate, but very often strays into hysterical screed-mongering. And it’s always amusing to be the subject of such outrageous hyperbole when it’s directed towards you. Has called me every dirty “liberal” soubriquet in the book. Still I like the guy for some reason. Go figure.
ChristopherHall – A pro-life Democrat who swept onto the abortion threads like a cool shower on a sweltering summer’s day. But I haven’t seen him around in a while. Boo.
Korimyr the Rat – Have never shot the breeze with him as of yet, but he is another of my favorite new members. His posts are very sane and eloquent. Two qualities that can, oddly, be in short supply around here at times.
Enigmo – Very smart and excellent debating skills. I love to watch him shower the fundies with rational thought in the ongoing intelligent design vs. evolutionary theory debate.
hipsterdufus – Unrepentant liberal hold-out. Knows how to debate with passion and a sense of humor. Love that.
Well, I know I’ve left some people out - I know, I know! - but that’s all I could manage today……I think there will be a part two, because this was fun.
