I think I said in live scores once that you were born with an above-average amount of empathy - plus whatever empathy I was apparently born without. Seriously though, you're one of the most solid people I know.
The forum is a far better place with you. You ease the tension, work around or through the arguments, and moderate with a natural ease that many lack, most of all myself. There was a reason I didn't want to moderate, some of us just aren't cut out for it. You are.
But, because it's me, there has to be a query:
If I had to nitpick something, and this is just scratching an itch of mine, you've made comments on many occasions that you are grateful for our company, especially watching games, because that's not something you get on the regular in rl. While I'm not saying that you enjoying our subjectively underwhelming company is a problem - I cannot help but wonder why a guy as solid as you doesn't have a group of friends in rl that negates the need for us. I don't know anything about your personal life, nor do I want too. I just wonder why someone with your amount of redeeming qualities isn't spreading them around with others. This thread comes across as a bit of an attempt at validation, and while I'm happy to give it to you - you deserve it - the self-esteem should be there already.
You're a good human being Emo. I don't say that about many people. Rock on man.
Sorry if I crossed a line.
So, its something I've been meaning to do for a while, as I believe I have managed to make an impression on you guys. Its something I call an user portrait, its not actually a real painting, but more like a description of the person and I think I been here long enough that most of you forged yourself an opinion on me. What I would actually like is for you guys to share with me and other how you actually feel about me, how you would describe me to other user and of course share some anecdote I had with you guys if you remember any. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable saying those kind of stuff or if you don't have the time, its perfectly fine. Also, don't worry about being sincere, I'm ready to take anything you'll say even the bad stuff (though I hope there won't be many). As usual, try not to transform this thread into a debate please and jf you ever feel like doing a similar thread, I propose you prepare yourself cause sometime, we leave bad impression on other people even when we don't want to. Anyway, enough monologuing from me, its up to you guys now. But I would really like to add that I want to thank all of you guy for making the time I had on FR such a great one and hopefully, the time I will pass here in the future will be just as great. ;)
