Let's write testimonials for each other

In Friendster, we write testimonials for each other. We talk about the good and bad things of each person. Hence, I would like to extend this idea to this forum.

SO START WRITING!! Wink

I really don't want people to talk about my "bad things." I'm painfully aware of what they are.

Yeah, if you all want to talk about the good things, I'm all for that, but I'm not keen on a thread where we discuss ours or other's bad things just because something that's intended to be harmless can accidentally hurt someone's feelings and/or escallate into something very ugly. Let's keep it light, we all know we're not perfect already. Wink

Absolutely NOT! Genius if you do this on another forum, why would you want to do the same thing here.
List the good and the bad? Give yourself a few years and you can do this at the marriage counselor's office!
This is not for me. I don't want to read about what others think I do or say bad. Critiqueing myself has never been a problem for me.
As they say, "we're our own worst enemies".

...........and to add, I'd rather stay focused onthe positive things I do like about people here, not anything negative. There's enough negative in this world already.

Focus on the POSITIVEs in people! You'll be glad you do!

Genuis honey I know your heart is the right place and you being so young and all just really want a chance to get to know all your cyber buddies however a public forum is not the place to ask people to air what they do and don't like about others.

As Far as I'm concerned we're ALL friends here and naturally we take the good with the bad!

I've known many who are on this board for 4 or more years now and through pms and even long distance, international calls we've gotten to know each other rather well.....we share our ups and our downs with each other privately....regardless of distance or how often we can physically speak with each other I consider everyone a friend....and I personally have nothing bad to say about anyone!

I didn't mean to create disharmony. Embarassed

I just want people to say nice things bout each other.

Could Rhune or Bumper lock this? This is not what I expected to be.

I don't think this thread has caused disharmony, Genius. However, had we also talked about "the bad things of each person" as you originally suggested, I think it would have.

I almost want to suggest that you start a new thread, where we talk about the good characteristics of people on this board. Then again, if we start with that, we might leave someone out and hurt their feelings. I like the thread where we talk about why we like this entire board: because of the people here who make it the great place that it is!

I think that's a great plan. Genius, why don't you start a second thread that just talks about the positives?
