I like glatt.

He always puts some thought into things and has an interesting angle, and I often think that his comments/opinions are something like what I would have said. He's friendly and engaging, he isn't over-sensitive, and he remembers the good inside jokes.

I always click on new comments by glatt regardless of whether I'm following the thread. I also do this for Clodfobble, Happy Monkey, and Undertoad, for similar reasons. Surely for others I can't think of at this moment, as well.

I can't think of anything I don't like about glatt, and that isn't due to a lack of his speaking up on things. He's just an all-around good guy.

Feel free to add your own positive comments about people:

I've always enjoyed xobruce's contributions. He consistently brings level headed thoughts and defuses controversial subjects with quick, short wit.

hey, thanks Flint.

I like you too, and not just because of this flattery. You often have a refreshing viewpoint and your posts are usually funny and outrageous. Often you go off on some crazy tangent that I would never even think of. And it's usually pretty good. Even when I think you are off in left field, I get a kick out of your posts. I remember when you fist galloped through town, tearing the place up. I wasn't sure about you then, but I'm glad you stuck around.

I always read every post by Clodfobble and Happy Monkey and can't argue with anything either of them have ever said. They seem to always make only valid points. But are nice about it. You don't hate them because they are always right. I like most people here, and value their posts.

I always read everything by Happy Monkey even though I know I'll never agree with any of it. While his views are 180 degrees from mine he is intelligent and thoughtful in his reasons for his views and it is always good food for thought.

Clodfobble I always read because she is rarely posts pointless "me too" comments and there is always something important in her posts.

Flint I always read if I see him in a political or current event thread because he usually presents a logical point but with a left field approach.

Impress in the WTF? threads... just cuz.

I read everybody for the most part, but I do have my favorites. SG, because her posts are always so warm and inviting and she can tell a really good story. Hung Like Jesus, because his Steven Wright type humor always makes me lol. Monster, because I like her radical yet really approachable style. Dana, because her 'socialist' agenda is based on a very real and human agenda.

Damn, I have more but no more time right now.

I like LJ's depiction of glatt in the collage. This is a combination of glatt's natural good looks and LJ's awesome collage idea.

I agree with glatt about flint.

Ironically, as I was viewing Glatt's profile, I noticed that he happens to be a member of the group 'Flint Haters'

Isn't that a fine how do ya do?

Better than looking like a dead rat, I suppose.

He also used to be a bed-wetter.

I like Elspode. Many things about his life are about as far as you could get from my personal experiences, yet I can always relate to his posts. And there's usually something I can learn from within them.

I like Shel, 'cause he cracks me up.

I like what I call the "step up" factor in teh Cellar.

That's when a poster steps up and makes an incredible post in a topic that I wasn't necessarily expecting.

What I like about it is that nearly every one of the regulars and some of the not so regulars scores a "step up" post every so often. I like this a whole lot better than a handfull of prectictable "I know everything and feel obliged to provide an all-encompassing and concluding answer to every thread" posters and a hoard of "I just post to jack my thread count" posters.

The diversity of expertise and insight around here is uncommon in internet forums. Very uncommon.

Matter of fact, we could start our own University.
