Can I hear some praise for fellow R&Sers?

Question

The apparent lack of reason, empathy and spelling ability here has got me down. My feathers are drooping.

I know there are a lot of smart, compassionate and articulate R&Sers out there. They're the ones whose words you read every time and say, "Wow. I hadn't thought of that" or "Poo. I wish *I* had said that" or "You know what? I don't fully agree but she makes a good point."

Tell me who they are and why you find them so.

Don H., Endora, EyeLovesJesus, Muslimah, Bad Liberal, Puffy, JewishGirl, Jayelle...

There are many more but most of them are already listed by you fine people (or *are* you fine people!) so I didn't reiterate.

Thank you for restoring my faith. It has been a while since I walked away fulfilled rather than exasperated. : )

Answer 1

there is a realistic backdrop to R&S that members with the right mentality tap into, and this is when serious questions are posted to receive serious answers, the majority however are timewasters and have nothing constructive or educational to contribute, and so a serious member has to weed through the swamp of banal rubbish to try and find some meaningful material.

Answer 2

A lot of people that are no longer here or are not here as much, like BlueNikki, imrational, upallnite, and so on.

Also Mark_intotdeauna, bettierage the avenger, edsawyer, OFF MY MEDS, Heron by the Sea, Comtemplative Chanteuse, and many others

Answer 3

Well, you are sometimes. I have to do some research to make sure I get the names right. I'll be back. This is a tough question

Mav--gotta love her, too funny

Wishful Thinker--thoughtful

Bad Liberal --has a brain, and flaunts it!! (Enjoy most of his
answers)

Jen- usually makes sense

I'm sure there are more, those come to mind, FYI, I do not happen to have the same religious beliefs as all of these folks, however, I can still enjoy their "company"

Get lots of laughs on here, thanks ladies and gentlemen
