Are some of the most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure of 'reading.' I've actually stopped going to 2 of the other forums I frequent (I only go on 3) and coming here to read more theories and discussion

I know some people here find their lives difficult, others have found ways to cope. I, myself, am pretty happy alone. I do have times I'd love an aspie girl beside me but we can't all be winners, at least right now if you believe its evolution (which I kind of suspected it was, myself, before ever coming here and finding others thinking the same). I find comfort in the universe, literally, and that reassures me I'm not alone.

Anyways, I thought I throw a positive comment everyone's way!

:wink:

Positive comments are good. Also, they allow you to increase your number of posts.

Thank you, however as just a simulation of an actual person, it rings a little hollow. You can give props to the programmer who created me.

Naw, I'm not so much of a 'post whore..' :wink: Only when a good debate is out there or someone asking advice that I may have a solution/suggestion to..

I figure with a ton of posts with people feeling down and depressed, one post throwing a bit of praise would help..

To quote a simpsons episode, since I love quoting stuff because its already thought of for me, meaning I dont need to stutter over the words:
Kent Brockman "Little girl (boy in my case) LIKES her brain . . . What do you think?"

I'd say it's pretty cool. I like my brain. I abuse "him" and he abuses me, but really we get along fine. Though he wins the arguments more often than not...

I like reading and posting here because people don't have to agree to get along. The upfront attitude is the norm rather than being the funny uncle in the corner of the room. I frequent another forum and the obsession over emoting and sympathizing there is nervewracking.
You can't have a normal flow of conversation because you are trying to fit in and not sound too smart or too dumb. Logic is an enemy there, an illicit drug.

I find most of the stories here at WP interesting to read too , although sometimes I can't tell who is a bot and who isn't. :P

I go on one forum where they do that frequently - like when they think people have insulted them simply because they disagree and then keep going on about being friends and stuff. Yesterday the moderator chided someone for embarrassing another member and between the two I can't figure out who did what (lol).

Fraya, 'fraid not. I'm a bot, you're a bot. All the rest are humans except One-Winged-Angel who is a virus.

Oh really? *quirks eyebrow* And who are you to say that all of us are necessarily humans?
