View Full Version : Why do I like you?

I was talking to a friend today and she told me how much our friendship meant to her. Some of the things she said struck a chord and I realised they were true of many of my interactions here at sciforums. I can't think of anyone I dislike here (though I get impatient with quite a few). But when I try to pinpoint why I like you lot, its hard to put it in words.

So why do I like you? :D


PS this is a feel good thread.

Hmm is it soft and fluffy? I'm not too fond of the wiry brittle kind that comes off in my hands (I assume we are talking about the hair on your head, of course).

Maybe its because you guys are interested. So few people these days are really interested in anything substantive. *gets all weepy and emotional at the thought*

I think it's hard to genuinely dislike one another here. I despise some of the personas that I have encountered over the years, but it's hard to imagine that these façades reflect accurately the real people involved. Any number of people I've argued fiercely with over the years would probably be quite fun to drink with. Of course, if their personas are to be believed, they wouldn't drink with me.

None of this suggests I understand the motives of their deceptions, but rather than holding it against them, it's cause for sympathy. As Rilke noted, "We are unutterably alone, essentially, especially in the things most intimate and important to us."

Orleander
09-07-07, 11:23 PM
LOL, you didn't answer the question Tiassa!!!

Tiassa
09-08-07, 12:39 AM
LOL, you didn't answer the question Tiassa!!!

I couldn't possibly guess as to the answer, except perhaps to figure that I'm not alone in separating the persona from the individual behind the façade.

Besides, haven't you been paying attention of late? I'm apparently a horrible person, so maybe S.A.M. just has awful taste in people.

And one correction: It would be more appropriate to say that certain people, if their personas are to believed, probably wouldn't drink with me. They never actually come out and say it that way, so I'm left to infer from their hostility.

Er ... something like that.

maybe we like each other because we understand here that we all are simple humans with no superiority over each other, or because here we can freely shout at each other without shooting each other or even maybe because we make each other face our unfavorable or rather dark sides, if ever we have the guts to.

I simply like you because you share your views with me and make me rethink on mine...at least from time to time. :cool:

Usually Women...sad to say..are a bit too lacking in humour to get my plaudits and as someone who runs a forum there is a tendency for many to take themselves very seriously..

..these people are usually taken by the ear and tied into the Ducking stool at Madrigal Towers (er..you'd have to understand my forum to get it..as it exists in space/time continuum circa 1678).

SAM is my choice for all sorts of reasons but I'm new here so...to be honest she's the only person I know :p
