If you can't say something nice about someone...
...say it on the internet.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

For me that's the same thing. All my friends are on the internet.
In other news I'm too horny to even post on AF much lately.

Always taking the nice approach - or at least trying. That's why I respect you. But I find that approach cheesy. Usually it's pretty obvious who's liking whom by looking at the posts or knowing about PM conversations. That's what I like most. People just talking to each other and either respecting or rejecting each others because of what they stand for.
It is cheesy, I suppose. But the thing is I genuinely do like everyone I come into contact with unless they are particularly mean to me/someone I care about, or if they are just bullies in general. "Love your enemies" is much easier said than done.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
