It seems that some of the people in this thread are confusing this for "which bluelighters do you admire/like." Theres a diference between your "crew" of bl'ers, the people you are friends with on here and like, and people whose POSTS you admire for a particular reason.
You might not even LIKE somebody whose posts you admire, you feel me? Or, somebody whose one of your bl homies, they might be a great person but their posts might not be nothing particularly special or great that stands out from the crowd, u feel me? So we should make sure we remember to seperate between the 2.
It would be disappointing if this thread just turned into a lounge-style "name some of your favorite BLers" type thread.
I aint sayin that you CANT admire and respect the words and posting style of lots of people. but just the fact that lots of folks are just posting long lists, with no descriptions or reasons WHY , etc, seems like maybe some people are misinterpreting it in that way. I could be wrong so if i am my bad.
just pointin out that this is more about whose posts and way of saying things, etc, is one you admire, and really not about who you like as a person, if i understand Alis OP right...
Anyways....
I got much love for
Kenickie, finally somebody on here who "gets" it when it comes to certain subjects i feel so strong about...racism, Islam, poverty in the US & the shit that comes along with it, childbirth, n so on....For years i been postin on here to an audience of people that, when it came to certain topics they just were not on the level with me and didnt understand no matter how much explanation and id just feel like i was bangin my head against a wall. Then homegirl came along and finally there was somebody who could see where im comin from and was also comin from there too. The day I noticed that was a good day of bluelightin' for me.
Phrozen is my dude, i been down with him since he was just a regular ol bl'er, long before mod, senior mod and admin status. aint no admin butt kissin here, Shit I was here before you was phroz
JK--Anyways tho, Dude got the ability to say shit in a way that is like "OK, this is settled. Nuff said." but without havin to actually SAY that. His posts especially in a situation where theres an argument or some kind of disagreement in a thread, pop up and its just like a the fuckin head Don came into the room of some bickering kids and just stood there, staring at them with his srs-face until they all got quiet like "oh, shit, we better STFU now."
And I always respect that he knows wat the fuck hes talkin about. hes mad knowledgeable without comin off uppity or that 'got the answer for everything' vibe you get from some lesser wise posters. He can school a poster without that know it all arrogant kinda attitude that so many people got. And every once in a while right when you expectin somethin serious, he comes out with some funnny ass shit that makes me laugh when i least expect it. Got mad love for phrozen and his quiet, un assuming way of shuttin em down, always civil but still somehow able to make you be like "DAMN yo, he just fuckin OWNED that fool." Big ups to a guy whose well chosen words always hold much weight, even tho most of the time theres not too many of em.
I aint talked to him much, and sometimes I disagree with him but lately I been really admiring
slimvictors style. He has a very gentle way of talking and is unendingly compassionate. he can face a person flaming him or talkin shit, bein disrespectful, and come back with a totally calm, thoughtful, and totally un-provoking reply that just makes the shit talker look so small in comparison. he dont stoop to the level, at least I dont think i can ever remember seeing him do that. Sometimes he is over sensitive it seems to me, and definately needs to "L2L" (learn 2 lounge) but still over all im always impressed by his deeply kind , caring, and gentle attitude.
Thats it for now but theres more for me to list. just dont wanna do it all in one post. Ill be back to add more here n there, for now these are the first few that popped into my head.
Edit:
Believe it or not, you know who else I want to add is
MaxPower(s). He always makes me laugh, and for a long time I think his total disrespect for me was real we had a definitely 'interesting' beginning as 2 posters whenever we interacted in a thread, but these days I get the sense that theres some kind of mutual 'regard' goin on and I enjoy our lil some-wat 'rivalry'. He can go from funny to srs-mode without a thought and I always enjoy readin his posts in CEP. And sometimes he just comes out with a comment thats timed perfect and I do a IRL-LOL that makes me say too bad he thinks Im a dummy, cuz I think ehs a pretty cool guy and doesnt afraid of anything.
