What would Miss Manners say?

[Ptah]

I want to start an appreciation thread.

Should I ask the target of said thread for permission?

:shrug:

[Haole Girl]

1. No....

....it's against Lounge rules, I believe!

[Ptah]

3. No, I cannot start an appreciation thread?

Or, no, it's against Lounge rules to be polite?

:shrug:

[Haole Girl]

5. Oh.....now I'm all confused!

:rofl:

[Ptah]

13. Now I'm even more confused.

What do you mean?

[Haole Girl]

14. I was just joking...

...I am the last person to ask about manners.

But, it seems more common than not to just start a thread...as a surprise...for the person.

Did you ever start it, BTW?

:shrug:

2. hm, good question, someone started a 'bridgit appreciation thread'...

like years ago now it seems, but i realized that few would have attended (i have all the rejection i need thank you), so asked it be shut down, and as was the case with better angels...it was :thumbsup:

so perhaps you have something there :)

[Ptah]

6. I could honestly do that.

You appreciated my 'screw threads' post

and

your husband has a keen understanding of skilled vs educated.

I agree with him, desk people should spend at least a year makings stuff before the
can even make drawings.

Maybe I start a MrBridgit appreciation thread.

:hi:

[Ptah]

12. Thanks for thinking about the question.

I'll hold my water, so to speak.

[SPKrazy]

I lurve you and so do wots and wots of peeple!

Classless bourgeoisie wench that I am.

7. Depends. Is it a surprise appreciation thread or a planned appreciation thread.

Also, black tie and tails or casual. Are you serving up a full course or is this short, sweet and possibly load with liquor?

[Ptah]

8. black tie, she can dance the ballet.

11. Formal invitation only to oh...say...100,000 people here

Be sure to bring your tutu...

[Ann Arbor Dem]

15. I give you my full permission

Go ahead and appreciate me.
That could be fun - I don't think there's more than three people on DU who know me.

[Ptah]

16. You have been one of my DU anchors.

Thank you.
