   I admire crkian. Chris helps a lot of BC bloggers in his own quiet and unassuming way every day. Aside from that he has a great blogging tips blog mattnutts.com/ He wrote the book on Blog Catalog and he gave away 100 courtesy copies free of charge

   I do respect her as a mother and I actually think she is the bomb. OK
   So people please don't be too shocked or throw up in your shoe.

      kdawg68

      MadameX is a staple. I think of her as my conscience sometimes. She has that way of reaching you, stating things matter-of-factly, and commands a ton of respect with the way she carriers herself. Heck, she's a BC hall-of-famer as far as I'm concerned.

      Yes too many people take things so seriously, just relax and have fun already.
      Life is too short and next thing you know, you're being cremated
      and someone keeps your ashes in a bottle like a genie.
      Nothings sacred. I mean who wants to go out like that?

   i like kdawg68. i may not visit or comment in his blog as often as he does mine, but i admire his passion for horse racing; it's clearly evident in the way he writes. i sometimes imagine if he were to have a personal blog and write the way he does in his aspiring horseplayer blog, how popular it would be! his friendliness and wit always adds something extra when he comments in my blog.

    Don't know a lot of you, but this has instantly become my new fun place to hang out. Out of all the places I've been to over the years (forums, web communities, websites), this is the only one that doesn't have trolls running rampant, nor does it stink like elitism that other places do.

       BC is a great place to network and meet like minded people. Even the *cough* SEO's and *cough* adult oriented bloggers are generally civil and hardly...ok, rarely spam (me).

    I have to say that all of you guys @ BC have left a lasting impression on me. And I respect and admire everyone I have come into contact with here, despite any superficial disagreements or feathers I may have ruffled unbeknownst to me.
    
    I have some strong opinions like any thinking person does, so I'm willing to accept responsibility that I may have inadvertently insulted someone.
    
    Meh, I'm easy, I try to get along... mostly.

    I really appreciate TimeThief’s responses, even when she is being "attacked for using her right to an opinion" she is still gracious..
    
    I enjoy reading Robin Easton's replies; she makes me smile a lot.
    
    I get so tickled at Ekim and his quick witted responses to so many subjects. He is very funny, yet he also has a way of being sensitive too, depends on what is being talked about.
    
    I absolutely love Anok, she is someone who speaks her mind, and walks the talk.. I truly appreciate someone who is like that...I find them more trustworthy, because they are true to themselves.
    
    Jeunelle: is just pure fun! Sometimes I may not comment on her posts but I check back on the often just to see what she will say next.
    
    I like global girl, because she also is one that sticks to her guns, when she really believes in something, and that is admirable.
    
    Benny Greenberg: is very funny too, he has a great way of looking at the world, and it helps to alleviate the stress and tension.
    
    Kdawg: is awesome, my admiration grew when you started a post on "I'm a horse..." That was over the top with a great sense of humor.
    
    Offended blogger: well what can I say other then the offense that seems to come up when ever she shows up? I look forward to her comments. And miss her when she isn’t around.
    
    crkian is always on his toes, he notices anything fishy about posts immediately and calls them on it. That just has to be a gift...
    
    MadamX: so full of wisdom and is another one who is amazing at picking up the undertones of some posts right away and says something about it. I enjoy hearing from her.
    
    Gosh, I could just go on and on.. I have made so many new friends and acquaintances here, and they are all so unique and amazing. I am so glad that I found blog catalog, and I my “tip of the hat” goes to the people who run this forum. Great Job! You’re the best!

I feel that there is good in everyone it just needs to be tapped in to. I believe we all can and do make a difference to each other. Hey, crkian I really needed the info on link baiting, Timethief I needed the info on the links in the comments of my blog, nards you're a sweet person, Chelle you make me laugh, marcueto even though she probably won't see this gave me a nudge w/ PP, even the pointless one gave good advice concerning my son's ear infections.

    Timethief, Anok, and Madame X and I like Ekim too but God knows why sometimes! Still shuddering about rectal bleeding. Benny Greenberg is fun too.
