In honor of Summer: The something nice to say thread

[Shell B]

Well, negativity does seem to run off the queens around here. While I think both negativity and positivity (apparently not a word) have an important role in all open discussions, I do think it is good to boost things one way or the other when a boost in such a direction is called for. So, in honor of Summer, our "say something nice or shut the fuck up" queenie , I decided to start this thread. It was sort of spurred on by a discussion about body image that I just read, but this thread should certainly not be restricted to the forms of others.

Here's the idea. Say something nice about the person above you. Be genuine and kind. If you can't be, this is not the thread for you.

So as not to have inadvertently fished for a compliment, the first poster in this thread can choose a different member and compliment them. I will do the same. I am off to choose a random person from the "online" list. I got Rayaan! How easy.

Rayaan, your voice is a welcome one in every thread you enter. You are fun, intelligent and much more. I will save some compliments for later, in case I pop in below you again.

Summer! You may have gone, but perhaps you can come participate here when Ace shows up. Love you.

[Rayaan]

Thank you for making this thread, Shell. And thank you for the compliment. You are the coolest Cyber Bitch ever.

[Anomalocaris]

Rayaan has the coolest stare ever.

Chuck has a strange creature in his picture that looks suspiciously like it has multiple "extremities" attached to its face. This made me laugh alittle and consider shaving my now immense beard.
I then wondered why it had wings as it seemed to be underwater. This confused me for sometime until I realized they must be some kind of flippers to propel it through the water. I was satisfied that I had solved the mystery of Chucks picture. I rewarded myself with a cookie...

I like cookies.

hmm, I don't know Raphiel, but he has a name similar to a teenage mutant ninja turtle and a renaissance artist and that makes him borderline cool.

(If I knew you better, I would give you a better compliment sir.)

[Rayaan]

Cinjin is a graphics design god.

Got that one from Summer.

When I joined this forum, I mistook Rayaan for another Muslim member apparently named Moslim and wrote a weird post about him.

Would like to officially apologize to you and say you are the nicest member on this forum.

[Handprint]

Forsaken joined on a very special day to me. :> my birthday. (does that comment count as nice?)

[Rayaan]

SophiaGrace doesn't post a lot, but she does sound like a nice person to me so far. She has a nice avatar, too.

Forsaken, thanks for the apology, but I had already forgiven you earlier.

After dealing with the MSA (Muslim Student Assoc) at length when I was active in my campus' secular club, I worried that the most reasonable muslim I'd run into was some whackjob who couldn't even open a panel discussion without making a (loud) prayer first.

I stopped worrying around the time Rayaan crossed paths with this little isle in the Internet and began articulating.

It's always nice to have one's biases truly, irreparably shattered.

Thank you Rayaan.
