I am one who hates an honest ass kisser. The thing is that on a board such as this many of the long time members have formed some type of friendship. So when the compliment one another it may look like ass kissing, but it is really just friendship expressing itself in print. Friends in real life often compliment each other on various things; it is just a little more private than posting it for all of the world to see.
Having said that, there are some true ass kissers on this board; but you have to be careful when judging who they are.
Oh, you said that so well, dolf! <smooch> <slurp>
Seriously, that's so true. I think a lot of what is called ass-kissing is just a sour-grapes response to two people who agree with one another. In the time I've know you on this board, I have never known you to be anything besides an intelligent, gentle, accepting, friendly man. If anyone wants to call me an ass-kisser because I admire you for that, then
tanto mejor.
And of course that sour-grapes person who accuses others of being an ass-kisser usually kisses a lot of ass. Why? Most likely because they know how to be nothing besides hypocrite. That's their lot in life.
