Compliment someone on BFP!

I want to compliment everyone who have hung in there recently for a challenging and sometimes emotional discussion about gun violence, ownership and control. It was tense at times and we had our moments, but in the end, people stayed calm and seemed committed to communicating with respect.

I want to compliment a certain femme (she knows who she is!) on her indefatigable honesty, even when her opinions might be unpopular in any given thread. I’ve grown some (little teeny) balls watching her speak her mind.

I want to compliment the butches I’ve come to appreciate for being gentlemen with their kind reps. Butches who reach out to femmes they are not hitting on, well, they make me feel optimistic about the world and to realize I've just been traveling in the wrong circles.

I want to compliment the femmes on this site who have been incredibly open about their sexuality, with humor and brains, to boot. I read your posts nodding my head and going, Oh yeah, I can see that…

I want to compliment the people who have gone through breakups in the last year, with people on the site, and remained classy about it; not a single snarky passive-aggressive moment, at least not that I noticed. One femme was even able to be particularly vulnerable about her feelings; again, without trashing her Ex. I’m raising my class to her.

I want to compliment the admins on this site for keeping their commitment to tolerance a central driving force behind their interventions. I’ve never been on a site where butch/butch love, bisexuality and other sometimes frowned-upon ways of being were protected in such a consistent way.

I want to compliment nycfembbw for coming up with the concept for this thread. She knows a lot about community building and speaking to people's strengths.

I could think of a lot more compliments, but for now I'll just end with this:

Group hug!

(I’m so NOT a group hug person. If you knew me, you would have laughed at that one.)
