But if you don't want to participate that is of course your decision. ;)

After the comments are returned to you, how will you compile them? Are we receiving back only the comments directed to us, or do we get to see what everyone said about everyone else?
I think I prefer the first but it would be more time consuming for you, I think.
Just curious!
Yep, the only comments you will recieve will be the things people said about you.
It'll be a bit time consuming but, oh well. I'm still debating whether or no to add who said what comment.
Bit confused -- Are you in or not Tonya?
Which Tonya? :)Quote:

Ya know, if you left it anonymous it might encourage more answers.... just a thought.
Why would that be? I think it would be great to include the names that the comments came from....after all, these are all supposed to be nice comments. If it were me, I would love to know who said what about me and be able to thank them myself. :confused: :)Quote:

Sorry, Kayster....I know you wanted to keep this thread with just who is participating and stuff, but I needed to ask. :D

The other one. :p
Yeah, it may be a bit easier on my part too.

Does it matter whom the speaker, if the words are genuine?Quote:

Names are associated with power (or lack thereof) and the absence of such could increase the sincerity of the words. If you think highly of 'xyz' but the opposite of 'abc' -- does this affect the influence the words have over you? Are you more likely to take abc's phrase with a grain of salt? The expectancy of certain words from certain people ultimately compromises the heartfelt thoughts of others.
Some find appreciation in making others feel good without wanting a thank-you. :)
I just personally would feel odd if I didn’t know what to say to someone or several someones. That’s all.Quote:

Or imagine if someone signed up and got a lot of those non-personal messages. I’d just hate to contribute to someone feeling left out.
It sounds like a really fun thing to do, good idea you had.
I would be one of those people though, that got the "don't know them to well but seems like a nice person" and even that would bother me some. So I'll say Nay on this. There are some of us here that have tried to be a part of PT but for what ever reason are still not known and they could feel hurt even with "seem like a nice person" comments.
But I at least wanted to say that I think your idea is good and how great some PTers will feel knowing what other think of them.
You have a good heart.
edits......I hate having a sticky key board. :mad:
Like I said, it's your choice to do it or not to do it.
It's a good way to get known or to get to know people as well, but hey, your choice.
Sometimes I think genuine compliments from strangers are the nicest kind, because they can often offer a different perspective than a person's close friends. So even if a person has read only a few posts by any given person, or doesn't really know them that well, they can make observations based on what they do know.
Anyway, I think this is a really sweet idea, and I think everyone will be able to understand if a person makes a general comment. After all, "I don't know you that well" isn't a criticism at all, and I don't see why it should make a person feel bad.
Sounds nice :) I'm in!
