It would be interesting to compare your view with the views of others in cyberspace; knowing that cyberspace is a milieu within which personalities don't always match those that exist in other environments.Darned if I know. I don't usually think of myself as a positive person, but I find myself saying optimistic (gasp!) things sometimes. I'm often sensible, but can be wildly lacking in sense at times. I don't think I'm humorless, but in some ways I am I think. Am I the same person one day to the next? I think a pull towards the middle and away from extremes is strong and consistent in me. (That can also be perceived as contrariness.) And I strive to be consistent in honor and integrity and a bit of compassion.
> Besides being able to exercise a certain amount of logic (or ill-logic), I like to think that others feel that I am compassionate and accessible. I hope the romance is obvious, along with passion. Of these, I am most dubious that I am accessible in cyberspace. I very often feel that others are not responsive to me. In real life, the opposite is true.
I think of you as smart and logical, compassionate and accessible. I also think that people at Babble have always been very responsive to you. At any rate, I've always considered you pretty terrific. I do enjoy being around you.
Do you really think otherwise? Surely you know how loved you are here.
