Sooo...Question.

[The Matt]

What changes when one becomes friends with someone on AFF. What new privileges become available? Is it just there to say "Nyah nyah na boo boo I've got more friends than you-ou!" or is there something I'm missing?

Its so all would know who would take whos side when the angry posters start posting.

I don't look at it that way.

That would be insulting to me if I asked to befriend somebody simply because I like them and they think I am indiscriminate in my friendship requests.

Heh heh. I didn't really mean that, I was just being eh...I dunno the word. Sarcastically stuck up maybe? I'm just wondering what purpose does a "friendship" serve on here, other than being friends? Are we able to do anything different now?
Oh by the way, thanks for requesting, new best buddy

Indiscriminate? So you ask everybody? I no special? *crushed*

When I befriend somebody, it is simply because I like them.

Not that I always agree with them. There is some quality about them that I value and carefully consider before I send friendship requests. Usually it has to do with the style they post and how I perceive their character in their writings.

I do not indiscriminately befriend people, but I personally have my own criteria why I befriend some folks. I'm sure that everybody feels somewhat the same way.

I am old enough to know that there are acquaintances and there are friends and even more than that...in a person's lifetime, they will be blessed to have just a few true blue friends at any given time. The ones that love you when things are good and the kind of friends that will tell you in love when they believe one is in error.

eye yi yi!!!! That word should be discriminate. Typing error. Gonna have to change it.

If I were indiscriminate, then all 3000 people, more or less would be befriended in my list. Eek. Gotta go change that word.



Heh! I cannot edit now. The edit button disappeared before I was able to change it. Oh well. Hope some people knew what i was trying to convey.

Actually, I have made some very good friendships on these forums with several people. Even though we may never meet in person, I know that these people are living breathing human beings with emotions, strengths and frailties behind the 'puter screen ...just like me. One really great person that I think a whole lot of...I have personal email exchange and not just friendship on this board.

Some people I don't ask, even though I agree with them more than I disagree, is because I can feel the resentment and that they wish I was not here. I don't sweat the small stuff though.

Oof, thats the second major typo I've caught tonight. The other one, said her mom smoked three cartons of cigarettes today. My reply was, "If I didn't know you were pentecostal, I'd call bluff." She said she meant one carton.

So I am special then. Woot woot! *To everyone else* I's more special than you nyah nyah na boo boo!
