Although I think what you are doing has merit, I find that it lacks substance when you don't take responsiblity for how you feel in front of everyone else. Good or bad.

My point...I have LOTS of people in my life who are nice to me 'in private' but few who are willing to stand in front of the crowd and say, I think "PacificBlue" rocks! It isn't that the private comments don't mean anything, they do. It is just that more often than not those who say it in private are more willing to feed me to the lions if I become not popular for a time.

My opinion...I seem to be full of them this morning.
 
A message from "unreg" is especially valuable, because it shows there's no hidden agenda.
 
The nice unreg., is actually Nasty, he just hasn't got his name back yet.:)

Actually, I think there is more then one nice unregistered. I'm the one who started it... but some of these threads are not mine.
 
Its a sad sad indictment on society that people now go unregistered to post nice things about one another.

Do we also treat this with the same contempt as another unregistered post which is nasty? Obviously not... Yet we really should.

Its still people not game enough to stand up and say things in their own name.

I think that's bullshit. I think unreg. is more concerned with looking like a kissass or being judged under their own name and wants to also be able to pay compliments without it seeming like they're asking for compliments in return.

Why are you all so quick to turn a nice gesture negative?

Sometimes, ya gotta just say "Thanks!" and move forward.

I only did that, once, and, it was for me,(try to boost my self-respect, which, it didn't.) I'm not sure who the nice Unreg. is.

I suspect Nice Unregistered to be a lot of people actually.

I agree with this. That's what I thought when I first saw it and I thought is was a nobel jesture.

Like giving to charity annonmously ( I know that's not right). It's not about credit, it's about the jesture.
 
Thank you. My mind was thinking jester. Spelling is a problem for viusal thinkers.
 
A person who posts here once offered me a perspective about birthdays which I think bears repeating in this context. (Oh, and Happy Birthday, Ruby, but it's coincidental... ~LOL~)

Her point was that birthdays allow people a socially acceptable reason for saying "I like you" withough a whole lot of wondering about motives. People who don't even know you can congratulate you on your birthday, and it's a real affirmation without it necessarily requiring you to sort out if they have some agenda, or how you should respond.

I think the anonymously-started threads provide that same sort of opportunity: You can chime in to say something such as, "Yes, I enjoy iamman's posts..." or, "You have a way of making me re-examine ideas..." or, "You always make me laugh..." or whatever else seems appropriate without it being a major endoresement of the individual - just an expression that you appreciate their presence.

I think this "breaking the ice" and providing a start outweighs the fact that the point of origin is obscured.

No, it wasn't Ruby that taught me to think in those terms, and no, I won't be admitting who it was.
 
so pretty much you took my opinion to be 'negative' and I can stick it where the sun don't shine??? good grief.
 
PB, if it's your opinion, own it babe. You don't need anybody else to agree with you.
 
Hey, I got bored and registered so now I can say whatever I want too. Nice av Ruby.
