I actually do think that people kiss your ass, unless I'm confused about what is meant by ass-kissing. I recall a lot of "OMG SFY liked my post! I feel so validated!" etc. Not saying that's on you, though. It's not your fault that people like you!
I guess. Not the validated part (have never seen that, stop it lol), of course. I don't do anything with that, because they are some posters that I am pleased when they like my post, but it's not because I am kissing their ass, rather I just know they have good sense, so I figure that means I'm making sense. That's all I think of it.
People either love me or hate me for the most part, at least irl. I do not inspire indecision lol!
This is true. I used to hate you. Not sure why because I love you now.
I never liked volenti much but to no fault of her own. I always had it in my mind that she was this bitch that I use to know in college. The college girl was smart and quite level headed but she was annoying and too cocky. I saw a picture of volenti and of course, it was not the same girl and I actually felt slightly guilty that I judged her so heavily based on a complete hunch. However, I still couldn't shake the feeling so although I appreciated her knowledge, I still was annoyed at her posts.

This is 100% your loss. She's an amazingly funny, kind, and supportive friend. I feel so lucky to know her.

Ditto @ameliapond. I had the opportunity to spend a couple days with her in New Orleans in the fall. She is amazing. So warm, down to earth, hilarious, and kind. I'm so, so fortunate to consider her a friend.
Primo, you must be new here. Criticizing volenti is the MM equivalent of clubbing a baby seal.
Not really. I was really just trying to start a little drama and thought maybe someone would run and tell Volenti and she might come back and make things a little more exciting.....
But, yes. I will forever be new here. I'm only on at night, after the kids get to bed so my posts are few and far between. Most times at night nothing much is happening so I don't bother commenting on the 6th page of the post. However, like the other lurkers, I do feel like I "know" all of you regulars which makes me the new creeper!

Wtf...I didn't even know miso had a baby?! This is what I hate about when people leave. I'm not on Twitter or FB, ok? I don't like hearing news in the streets like some nosy neighbor. I found out about insom getting married from pro wedding pics, so not cool . #mrskravitzproblems
I found out months after miso announced on ML from some offhanded remark that @kirkette made on MM.
I rarely go to ML so this is how I found out as well.
I think the hype behind violenti and miso is well deserved though. Like others I'm lucky to consider volenti a friend and she is seriously one of the most real people I've ever met. It never ceases to amaze me how much thought she puts into answering questions and giving advice. She is so nice, but she can talk some good smack too. miso is just hilarious and IRL she's 100% like she is on here. Her short responses are always dead on and the girl tells amazing stories. If truly liking someone and not being afraid to say it means I'm kissing their ass then whatevs - I can name quite a few asses I'd kiss.

So what happened to these two? Just got tired of the board? Not enough time in the day? What?
I can see just backing off when your personally busy but I'm surprised they aren't in here lurking around from time to time. Or are they?
Also, pre Volenti, there was a similar poster (always had valuable input-was sort of a mm star) but mean instead of sweet. I feel like the name is on the tip of my tongue, but i cant come up with it. can anyone help me?

Volenti lurks sometimes, but stopped posting. Like all of us, she admitted it's easy to get sucked in & become overly invested. It's a major time suck. She never joined when we switched to proboards, and has stuck to it for nearly 2 years. Many of us still talk to her off board.
