I am fishing for compliments.

Dude, blow your nose and pick yourself up by your cape. A few boo hoos are OK, but don't wallow. Count your blessings - you have a great wife, a great family, a good job. True, I didn't like you when I first met you, but now I respect you. We have our differences, but I'd pick you to be around more than half the NT's I know. You're honest and don't give any BS. People probably may have to get to know you first. Your first impression kinda sucks.

You'd make an excellent president

Fnord,

You are intelligent and thoughtful.
You speak your mind, which is very refreshing.
You are sincere.
Even *if* I disagree with you (which is actually not that often), I appreciate what you have to say anyway.
I feel I can trust you because you are your authentic self.
You come across very confident, but I do not believe you are arrogant.
You seem willing to adjust your opinion when shown something from a different perspective which is convincing.
I have learned much from you here on WP.
You are strong.
You are courageous.

I like real people and you, sir, are a real person.

Those other people, the meanies...
They do not have the constitution or stamina to handle you.
It's not your fault.
You are made for special people who are also strong.
Do not let them discourage you or pull you down.

You seem to be very intelligent and your avatar is cool.

You've got a good heart and a strong will, and you think critically about a lot of things (maybe everything).

I appreciate your brevity.

You seek the marrow of the bone, which I relate to. You've overcome a lot of adversity without having a victim mentality. You deserve accolades for how far you've come, even though you don't feel deserving. You suffer a lot of friction and misunderstanding, but you have a true and loyal heart.

As crazy as you'll think it, I depend on sparring debates. Thanks for those.

Dear Fnord,
I do like you. I probably would take time to warm up to you in person, because you are so direct. I have an aunt like that and I did not like her for most of my life because people like that will have the balls to say things that weak people do not want to hear. But she, like you, inspires enormous respect in me, and I trust you both to say it how you see it. I know if I want an honest opinion I can trust her to deliver one without padding it with nice little lies. Ditto for you. I acknowledge that the need to find the bravery to hear her and your words is mine, and, like taking yucky medicine, ultimately benefits me despite the tendency to want to whine over it. My maturity has made me appreciate her in a way I was never capable of doing when I was younger. I wish I had her and your fearlessness with speaking the truth.

You stand out as a member of WP, and I will always remember you (assuming an Alzheimers free future, ).

Where would we be without those of you who refuse to pretend that the Emperor is wearing clothes? We'd be pleased with ourselves for staring at fat pompous naked men and even bragging about it.

..
I sort of see you more like some soldier who survived ordeals like how I see kraftiekortie more like a wise gentleman from a humble beginning. It's up to you whether to take it as a compliment or not, since I cannot judge.


I'm not good with compliments, feedbacks, or writing inspirational message with fluffs or a slap-snap out of it-rant motivational message that are too blunt.
