Posts from Three people you respect the most on the forum.

Andrey, I don't quite understand the motives and methods of your actions, and it's not that important. But I'll allow myself to point out a certain inconsistency in you, namely that Onegin and Pechorin would not have acted this way ("A Hero of Our Time" is my favorite Russian prose work). I'm just sure that Pechorin would have started by depriving the girl of the attention of others (rather than increasing it) and making her fall in love with him (or at least become interested).

))Inconsistency??? In what?? One can speak of consistency (or inconsistency) when striving to achieve some goal ("A Hero of Our Time" is my favorite work). In this case, Onegin and Pechorin acted as you say, with the aim of winning a girl's favor. I have never sought, do not seek, and do not intend to seek the favor of Ta_Kotoraya. I am pursuing a different goal (see above), and it cannot be achieved by the methods you proposed))).

As for singling someone out... I would highlight everyone who creates that amazing atmosphere that was mentioned in previous posts... and there are clearly more than "three" such people:)
So, I'll say this - I RESPECT THE FORUM.

As I said before leaving: a couple of months will pass and only a few will remember you, while others will simply forget… (c) Rean

For me, the most respected people on the forum are Creator, Alexey_Punk, and Sneg.
I can't give priority to any of them in this list. I respect each of them for their unique qualities. I respect the admin for never abusing his power and for being a brilliant administrator. I think he's the best admin in the world!!
I respect Alexey because he knows history very well, never engages in confrontation, helped me a lot with "amphibians," and can come up with anything on the fly: from a motto to the history of a race!! I respect Sneg for his amazing sense of humor!!! No one else has that!!
I would like to adopt all these qualities from them.

Okay. I'll finally tell you why I have such a relationship with Ta_Kotoraya. But first, we need to go back in time and tell a little about myself))). So... I was born in the village of X...vo (this is not a swear word, but a conspiracy) in the Y-koy province, in the family of a tailor, Nikodim, and a laundress, Marfa)). I must say that my appearance in the world was somewhat unusual: the birth took place in a shed, and my mother)) first saw that she would have a boy, and only then heard my cry. This somewhat confused her, and she wanted to strangle me, but I managed to hide in a place where I had been just before and didn't leave until my father, Nikodim Petrovich, beat my mother and strictly forbade her to touch me. Okay... I must say that our family was very poor, and besides me, there were nine more sisters (all of them were older than me). There was nothing to eat, and often it came to the point that my sisters deprived me (still a baby) of my mother's rightful breast!! I didn't even have wooden toys (it's good that I was born a boy). My favorite pastime was sitting on the windowsill during the rain. And one day, during such an activity, I slipped and fell to the floor, hitting my head hard. Nothing was damaged, but since then I have been able to see things that don't exist: sometimes horns on my father's head, sometimes a TV instead of a window... My mother and sisters didn't love me (my mother - because I saw horns on my father, and my sisters - because of the TV (they didn't have any toys or a TV)) and often beat me. Only my father loved me. Sometimes he would drink half a liter, come to my closet, and say, "Come on, son, turn on the TV! Spartak is playing today!!"
When I went to school, I also played soccer with the guys. They constantly put me in goal, although I was a weak goalkeeper: I saw three or four (up to five) balls on the field and, while I was jumping for the non-existent ball, the opponents calmly scored a real ball into the goal. For this, I often got it after the game. But I didn't get offended. When I came home and turned on the video player (by that time I already had a video player), all the grievances went away.
I didn't have much luck with girls either. Who, tell me, would like a guy who has sinusitis and is constantly picking his nose??!!! They called me "snotty." Despite this, once I decided to befriend a girl, approached her, and said, "Natasha, let's go collect scrap metal together?!" She replied to me like this: "Snotty, I understand that you are now going through puberty and you want to satisfy your libido, but I'm ovulating right now!" Scratching my head, I asked again: "So, are you going or not?" This time she said nothing, but from a strong blow to a vulnerable spot, I realized that I would have to collect scrap metal myself.
Since then, I haven't tried to befriend girls. And I didn't need it: thanks to my unique ability, the best girls in the world were friends with me)).
This brief excursion into the past is over, and we are returning to the very recent past.

So... Ta_Kotoraya. She definitely has many virtues: she doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, is interested in sports, believes in God... It seems that there are no shortcomings. But, if you dig deeper, you can see other features: she likes to flirt; she really likes to show off her positive qualities and achievements (her "wisdom" was the result of one of the tests (and if the result had been "stupidity," she would have announced it to everyone?;) ), "...with which she,perhaps,agrees" and the time close to the results of American pilots - in another test, which she passed "easily," and something else...); she cares a lot about her reputation; (Our unforgettable showdown started because of this. And also... she has very few messages in which there is any criticism of someone or something. Most of the messages are of this kind: "Congratulations on...", "Girls, you are great!", "...I will help in any way I can (how exactly?;) ). Even a complete scoundrel (like me) cannot put a "-" in the reputation for such a message.)))....
I don't know how it is for others, but for me, the last three qualities don't seem positive. Seeing, once again, what doesn't exist, I decided to try to change at least something that I didn't like (egoist; ) and wrote some not very good review on her post. She replied. She replied not without hooks for further... attacks, but (most importantly!!) without rudeness. I again found something to criticize - she again replied (without rudeness, but not without weaknesses). If she had rudely sent me away then (but not now;), I probably would have stopped bothering her (I hate rude and vulgar girls), but there was no rudeness (a huge "+" for that). In general, I continued to attack from time to time, and she defended herself. For me, it even turned into a game))). Over time, her answers became better and better, and finally, there were several posts for which I could no longer find fault))). I already thought that the game was over!! I decided to cast a final bait, and, returning after two weeks, I saw that... posts of the kind "...he is not objective in his assessments. At least, not to me" and "...I will help in any way I can" appeared again. What is this???!!! A team cannot play without a coach??))) Let's continue training???))
What nonsense... Despite all of the above, I have no negative feelings towards Ta_Kotoraya.

I respect almost everyone on this forum; it's easier for me to say who I DON'T respect, but I think I'll keep that to myself.

as I said before leaving: in a couple of months, only a few will remember you, the others will simply forget... (c) Rean
