This thread cracks me up. It reminds me of what I like to call a "Gentleman-Off (or Gentlewoman-Off): two people stuck outside a door saying "No, please, you go first" followed by "No, I insist, after you". Refreshing to see in a seemingly "Me First!" era.
I swore off comment sections on other platforms, because they tend to highlight the worse in humanity - you just feel dirty. Like need-to-take-a-shower dirty. On Steemit, I find myself digging deep down. Small thing, but cool, huh? Look how encouraging everyone is on this post for example. I doubt there's any other platform that encourages this type of positive behavior - probably the best thing about Steemit.
Anyway, I digress :) I'm surprised @tcpolymath and his @themesopotamians initiative hasn't come up yet in all these comments about delegation - what a cool project! @davemccoy, definitely not trying to jump in on @beeyou and @bashadow's side here ;) But that may be a cool place for a delegation dump :) I'm not a recipient, just a big fan of what he's doing. But I think other folks including @lynncoyle1 might be connected to that initiative :)
I definitely think @themesopotamians is a very cool initiative! And I think I will donate some of my steem power right there right now! Thanks for the though @eoj! And I completely agree that the convos on steemit are what makes this place different for sure!
Tell @suitcasemama I said HI :)
Thank you.
thank you @tcpolymath... I'm happy to do so since I'm ok again! :)
@suitcasemama is right here and says "Hi back!" :) I'm trying to get her to post again soon ;)
awesome... :) ... and tell her I will alert the big curators like @curie... she always does some great stuff :D
That little nudge did it, she just posted.
And it's a good one (says her super unbiased and very proud husband) :)
see I told you @curie would be waiting ;) ... I'm smart about these things :D
Hmm, very mysterious! :) But correct! We're just back from the park - great surprise! It's her birthday today too, so perfect!!
Whoa! That should light a fire under her! Thanks as always @davemccoy!
The comment section is the best part of all! Especially with our circle of friends. We always have fun! :)
Does everyone know each other in real life or just through Steemit. I know exactly two Steemians in real life (that I know of!): @suitcasemama and @karaelizabeth. And haven't met anyone through the platform yet, but hope to soon!
hahaha @eoj, "Gentleman-Off" indeed!! It's a bit like, "Thank you", "no, no, Thank you", "Oh no no, Thank you" haha
You're absolutely right though about not seeing this on other social platforms. I get your dirty comment too; like need-to-be-dipped-in-bleach dirty:) It was a nice digression you had :)
I am a fortunate recent recipient of @tcpolymath's kindness, but yes, this would be a great place for it too!
Thanks for the kind comments and the recommendation.
