Woah.
38 out of 245 original replies on this post are made by persons that have me blocked. I see some people in here, and spoken about that are friendly on the outside, but they sure got another side too, hidden from the public most of time.
I've stopped a long time back with tagging people on posts like this one, out of two reasons... 1) you never know when someone you believed to be your friend, or at least friendly minded towards you will turn their back on you, in worst cases start attacking you... 2) I've more than once experienced how being mentioned in one of these positive [popularity contest] threads had a negative outcome where haters (most having me blocked) used the opportunity to create a shit storm, spreading lies to have people to question my credibility and to harm my reputation.
I'm pretty sure the ones who should know how I think about them will know. I might not be messaging a lot with anyone longer but I leave a positive remark here and there on posts if I see them. Aside from that there's my girlfriend, and she should hopefully be very much aware of my thoughts around her, as I keep telling her in private as in small gestures throughout the day.
Okay, end of rant. Sorry, I needed to get this of my chest as I'm filled up with and tired by the fakeness shown on the boards by some of our always sweet members around here [goes for the sweet badasses too]. 🤐

@Rutterman
Thank you, and I'm sure you'll be aware of my thoughts around you without me mentioning you in threads like this one. Another fun little observation, being mentioned by people on these threads is very much a question of popularity. For instance, if you're a very visible member with lots of posts and comments you'll be more in the awareness of people. If you withdraw yourself more from the boards you'll be forgotten, or maybe it just shows how shallow this is in reality, and not as deep felt as presented by a lot. I guess the support we have shown towards others, and the perception of it has very little value unless you keep being active on the boards. Hmm 🤔

@SapphicHeart I agree, there’s so many users on here who play nice in your face, but once the opportunity hits for them to go against you they jump quick. I’ve stopped doing it as much mainly because it takes too much time, people always end up feeling left out no matter what and also forgotten, and it’s just the same people who typically get tagged. A lot of the users who may not comment or interact much always end up being forgotten. There’s a kind message behind posts like these, and it’s always wonderful to see how grateful users are of other users on here, but post like these are often usually ways that users end up feeling hurt due to not being named or forgotten.

True. I feel threads like this one quickly will turn into padding each other's back. Usually it's the same people appreciating the same people. I've previously been mentioned in threads like this, back when I was more active and visible on the boards, even by people I didn't really interacted with. By now I'm not one of those people point at. I'm not as much around on the boards these days and it's been like this for a while. It's just confirming how superficial it all is. Having been targeted by some of the ever so friendly people here, having been blocked and accused of what not by another of the always so kind and adorable members around this place, people that told me I was their friend... well, I prefer to withdraw myself from these mind games. People tend to forget the support we offered them in the past, or they pay them less importance. Anyway, I'll stay out of posts like these, I should probably have done the same with this one and just have let it slip. I was just amazed by the numbers of comments made by people having me blocked, I have a pretty good idea of who some of them will be as they will be all over the place on posts like this one, showing their true kindness 🙄

@SapphicHeart@Stark I know what you mean there... That's why I didn't tag and do a compliment I just mentioned all the original people I did sandnames for.
Because last summer I was alone on a beach for a few days and I had these nice people on sw. I remember it was a kinda sad time. The company of these people.. Yes online were comforting and that's why I made their names. Some have left but the ones who have stayed know they are dear to me.
I enjoy your posts stark.. I like it here... But I do stay quite alone not following a crowd... Group or clique...
I enjoy just being me here.
I'd love to make you one when I visit again and it will be a happier time! 😁❤️

My hope is, that hopefully people do show their appreciation of others every now and then by gestures, if nothing else. Hopefully it's not just because of a random post asking us to do so. I mean it's the unprovoked kind of appreciations we'll know is meant sincerely. :-)

@SapphicHeart well said 👍🏼 I’ve posted similar to this in the past about how the “positive” tagging is just as bad as “negative” tagging. It shows people who are friends naming of people that you might not particularly like for very valid reasons. That’s awkward for one. then there’s the people that don’t get mentioned, how shit must they feel? Whilst I sincerely appreciate the lovely things people have said to me, it’s just not something I’d do. Like you said, your actions show people you care, not a popularity pick out contest 😕
@SapphicHeart
