Posters you thought you disliked that you now adore!
So...have your opinions about certain posters changed? Who did you once think you disliked, that after further interaction you have realised you actually quite get along with? Share your stories! And keep it nice, so Melkor or another Mod doesn't bitch slap me for flame-baiting or something!
I haven't had any like that, but I've certainly had a few in the opposite direction. I won't name any names.

I've got no problem with anyone except Tactical Grace. I've never really had a problem with any of the other posters. I might argue with Ffc2, but I think his anti-evolution posts are funny. I might think Oceandrive is biased as hell, but his posts make for good arguments.

I've had quite a few that have gone the other way, but I don't think that should be mentioned since that could be considered flamebait. In general, those people probably know who they are.
There is no-one in particular that I really dislike here.
Disagree with, yeah, but not dislike.

I agree there. My strong dislikes ought to know who they are and why. If not, I'll send them more TGs. Hang on a minute... :D (;))

Initially I thought that Lunatic Goofballs was just another internet ape, some pastie dude who was always big talk, trying to turn his buddies into his "Jackass" cronies innapropriately. But, he actually was making me laugh. Then I got to know a little bit about the cat and I honestly respect him a great deal. And feel kinda bad that I thought he was a paste eater. (not that I would put eating paste past him, but it's not the same thing...)
Okay, here are some of my bad poster interactions gone good:
Drunk Commies: when I first 'met' him, he was spamming my (rather inflammatory now that I think of it) thread with dead baby jokes. But then I realised that I have a lot in common with him in terms of fundamental beliefs, and the differences we DO have are communicated respectfully. And he just has a 'cool' feel to him. DC is one of my favourite posters now!
Fass: oh Fass, how I loathed your linguistic lectures! Prickly, prickly is how I thought of you, until we finally had a blow-out and threatened to ignore one another forever! I am very glad we didn't. Fass is a very open, caring person who really deeply has a commitment to human rights, and I value his insight and humour. Plus, there is always the hope that I will be the 'right' woman to convert him.... (KIDDING!)
more to come...

Most of the people I dislike (I won't name them) are on my ignore list, so there's no way for me to read their posts, and thus, no way to change my opinion of them.
I haven't had any like that, but I've certainly had a few in the opposite direction. I won't name any names.
That's for the best. Let's keep it positive!
Fass
I'll admit that I didn't actually notice Fass until not long ago.
I mean, he's been around for quite a while -and has a buttload of posts-, but I have zero memory of him prior to recently. Weird.
Wait...buttload of posts....hmm.

One person I didn't "dislike," but wasn't fond of either, at first, was Kanabia, who I now respect a hell of a lot. Sure, he's my opposite politically, but he's witty, smart, charming, and one fuck of a nice guy, probably one of the 5 nicest people I've ever met.

Bottle: wow...why did I think you were so horrible? I actually told her once that I couldn't let myself respond to her posts because I would get banned. Sheesh! I think we just had a few disagreements about feminism and I made some silly assumptions. Once I stepped back, and reviewed her posts, I realised I was being an ass. Bottle's just fine in my books:)

I would of thought you and Bottle would of seen eye to eye on most things.. She is and has been one of the best and most respected debaters on NS for a long time.. She's always picked for one of the top debate categories whenever they have those "contest" things.. I have always admired Bottle, she's a no nonsense, tell it like it is, very intelligent woman.
Nope, you're not forum royalty. You're supposed to be one of the Elder Gods.
Yes. Isn't that considered royalty? I rule over everything, and all other members of the "royalty" are subordinate to me, so I think of them as nobility.
Of course, that's just from my perspective, as I've never been able to see from anyone else's.

Whispering Legs/Sierra: yeah, boy did you ever strike me first as an all-American asshole...but you've really changed some of my ideas about certain issues...and helped me realise that I CAN be friends with right-wing gun nuts:).
Occidio Multus: I wish she hadn't gotten banned again (and apparently given up on NS)...when I first interacted her it was on a racial slur thread she started, and I assumed for some reason that she was a white guy (HAH!). And we went at it like cats and dogs for a while after that too...she hated my long, ranting posts, and I hated her snarky, insulting posts. But then I realised that we were bitches of a similar feather, and I became enamoured of her no-holds-barred ways.

Yeah, though I never really disliked him, because at the time when he first appeared here, I was mostly avoiding the political threads (sometimes you just get sick of them :p) so I saw his social side first.

Ah Trusci. At this point arguing with him has transfered from 'Is this cat serious?' to 'C'mon, man-I really want you to be cool.'
I honestly kind a like the guy-though I don't think you could convince him of that. It's just...well, this isn't the place.
Cat-Tribe got on my nerves big time a while back, but once we established that we both are hardcore civil libertarians we got along fine.
I thought Sinihue was a prickly Canadian ballbuster at first, but she's actually pretty sweet once I got to know her. :)
Then there's a handful of people who started out well, but sadly succumbed to douchebaggery.
You don't rule over me! :D
...yet.
How do you know? I could be simply manipulating your mind to believe that.
Come off it, that's for the other threads anyway.
Any thread with me, and Carn is going to turn nasty...just accept it and move on!
I think it boils down to this...I've been able to accept that certain posters have beliefs I don't necessarily agree with, but I'm able to look past that and interact with them on other levels just fine. I don't need to 'show them the truth', and as long as they reciprocate by not trying to convert me, we're fine. NS has actually taught me a lot of tolerance for differing ideas...despite having believed I was tolerant enough.
Melkor Unchained: I think I first noticed him in a debate on banning smoking, and I thought he was just one who went for the juglar and screw an argument to really back it up...but now I realise that he's just edgy, and actually does think things out. That and he's just the hot mod...I can't help but like him:)

pretty much same here. politics aside, he's one hell of a nice bloke :)
i can't say i didn't used to like him - it was more of an ambivolence - but sufficed to say i like and respect the old geezer now i've gotten to know him a bit better
Fass is another one for me - again i only noticed him fairly recently, and at first found him to be quite sharp and... prickly. but again, getting to know him a bit better he's a jolly decent bloke :)

I know what you mean...he struck me as kind of hysterical and pedantic, but now I know he is just particular. And very, very sarcastic...which by the time I 'met' him, I was unable to detect anymore, because so many of the people I THOUGHT were being sarcastic were actually serious. Once I got my head straight again, I saw the biting sarcasm for what it was, and life got better:)
Plus, Cat-Tribe is one hell of a skilled debator.
I've always had a huge amount of respect for Cat-Tribe. He's kind of shamed me into setting myself some debating standards. Not that I don't break them, mind you, but whatever. Though, for the longest time, I thought he was a woman because of his feminism, and the tone of his posts seemed very different...assumptions...

I prefer the term, "extra crispy". The military psychologists have certified through weeks of testing that I am more "sane" and level headed than the average person. Apparently, emotions take a severe backseat in my decisionmaking process.
No one has to agree with me - I'm here for the discussion and the alternative viewpoints.
Hmm... The only name that comes to mind is Eutrusca. Not that I "hated" him, but I very strongly despised him at first. And then I was startled - shocked almost ;) - to read a few posts in which he made intelligent, open-minded, progressive-thinking points that I thoroughly agreed with. I was confused for a while, and then I simply began to see him in a schizophrenic way. :p In any case, I now have quite a bit of respect for him, as a person.

I can even recall when Fass first started on the forum. I've always liked Fass and recently having talked to him and another friend over Skype (voice chat) I have even more respect for him. He's a very well rounded and smart lad. Then again I'm a dinosaur around here who still remains quite active. So I notice new people more so than people who have only been here a short while or a year or so. I remember the old forums before we moved to Jolt, I was still a mod back then. And being a mod for a year and half before I quit, it kind of makes you notice when new people come around.

I probably did notice his posts, but they didn't stand out and say "FASS!". Which is a shame. I usually get a laugh from him, and i'd say he's probably one of my favourite posters. Though I have a lot of favourite posters. So he needn't feel too special about that. Not that he would, that hellish creature that scares even Satan. :D
The first time I really noticed him was his accent thread, which was awesome.

well.... when I first started posting (not long ago at all) I remember the first thred I was reading I didn't think I would like you (sorry) but as time has passed I have come to respect you (even though I still disagree) because you debate fairly most of the time, and seem to respect others p.o.v. (as much as you can respect someone whom you completely disagree with)

So...have your opinions about certain posters changed? Who did you once think you disliked, that after further interaction you have realised you actually quite get along with? Share your stories! And keep it nice, so Melkor or another Mod doesn't bitch slap me for flame-baiting or something!
Well, you for one. I had some real doubts about you, Sinuhue! Heh! I got better, though. :D
Fass' biting style of sarcasm was a bit difficult to see through, but somehow I managed to intuit that behind all that bluff and bluster was a pretty kewl poof! ROFLMAO! :p

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is The Cat-Tribe. The first time I remember noticing him, we were at each other's throats over what I can look back at now and realize was mostly a misunderstanding of what was being said. One way or another, I came to respect him soon after, and although we may not agree on the minutiae in a lot of discussion, we're usually on the same basic side of things.

I'll be honest -
I didn't like Sinuhue at first and we all know how I feel about her now. Ok, I still think her arguments are crap, but she's got that hot injun ass. ;)
Damn, I just used a smilie.
Dempublicents - Once we both kind of reached the conclusion that we'll never back down, I stopped dreading seeing her in threads. Now I actually like it when she shows up.
CTOAN - The first time I really remember him we had a major misunderstanding. He got past it rather quickly... I think... and for that deserves a lot of respect. He didn't cling to it and keeps the discussion on current topics.
That's all I can think of right now. It's not a very long list because I'm just not wrong about people very often ;)

I, on the other hand, have no nice things to say as I still dislike all the people I've disliked. I'm a pretty good judge of character in the sense that I don't dislike people immediately, but when I get to the point of doing it, I'm almost always correct in doing so. Sure, I had a few skirmishes with Eutrusca and Sinuhue and a few others, but I never disliked them. No, my dislike and disdain are reserved for a select group of people on this board and my sentiments towards them remain steadfast, as I am right in my aversion to their sickening opinions and/or actions. Some of you probably know of which kind of people I speak.

Okay, sorry about this thread jack but no NO NO. Socialism by its basic definiton is social ownership of the means of production and is NOT about a few liberal social measurements coupled with the restriction of the most extreme brutalities of capitalism.

(not that I would put eating paste past him, but it's not the same thing...)
I think I've tried paste. But to be honest, I'm probably far more well known for playing with it. (Elmer's glue dries to make the coolest 'fake skin'.) :)
Oh, and to a certain extent, you're right. I'm a barbarian. But I'm a cultivated barbarian, not a natural one. I'm a natural nerd who somehow learned to use sports and calculated idiocy as a way of avoiding becoming the pasty-faced geek I was destined to be. Or maybe I just hung out with the wrong crowd. :p

I haven't yet mentioned Tink! Not that I ever despised her...I just wrote her off as a spammerific bimbo:). I associated her with the 'mean girls' in high school...the popular bitches, but I realised this was not Tink at all...she's not mean, she's not catty, she's just a shy girl who is able to open up and reveal her true self online, and who the hell could hold that against someone? Don't we all do that to some extent? Anyway, Tink made me realise that sometimes, spammerific chatting is just as important as 'deep political debates'. Some people have said some mean things about her on NS, but I think they just have the wrong impression about her.

Seriously, I've changed my opinion about Eutrusca. I used to think he was just a right-wing nutball douchebag, but the more posts of his I saw, the more I realized that he defies categorization, and is actually pretty cool. Plus, he moved to my region, so he can't be bad.
uh...excuse me...if anyone here remembers me...I'll throw in a couple of cents worth.
I suffered through some senior moments when I was confusing Fass and Nazz. Guess those sibilant sounds created too much white noise and scrambled my brain cells. Nazz got crosswise of me when he hijacked one of my threads and insisted that my motives for creating the thread were other than what they were. I carried over the hard feelings from this exchange to Fass. Once I straightened out the 2, I realized that Fass is wonderfully witty and a genuinely nice person. (even if he did call me a "busybody".)
The first time I came across Eutrusca I understood the basis for a number of his views as I'm married to someone just like him. (Yeah, there are 2 of them.) I've found that he is a great friend and that we share the same family values. Like my husband, you just have to smack him in the back of the head once in a while and remind him that you're not under his command.
At first I thought Good Thoughts was just on here to push his religion. But, I've found that he uses his spiritual teachings to enhance the conversations he joins. I've learned to step back and take a more gracious view in prickly situations from him.
Tink is a sweetie. I was aware vaguely aware of her, but didn't really pay her much attention, until another poster (an adult who should have known better) on here personally attacked her in a really vicious manner. Naturally, it upset her and I could just imagine how it could ruin NS for her. We TGd about the situation and she bounced right back as her same fluffley self. I really admire her for being able to not let another person's attitude adversely affect her.:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

Heck, I interacted plenty with people before I started RPing. Don't give us any of that. ;) The only people of note I've met while RPing I can count on the fingers of about four hands, and considering that I knew about twice or more of that number on NSG, I don't see your problem. ^_^
Well I tend to stay out of a lot of the debate threads, and a lot of those threads are where you learn to like or dislike posters.
But like I said! I don't dislike any of you :).

I haven't yet mentioned Tink! Not that I ever despised her...I just wrote her off as a spammerific bimbo:). I associated her with the 'mean girls' in high school...the popular bitches, but I realised this was not Tink at all...she's not mean, she's not catty, she's just a shy girl who is able to open up and reveal her true self online, and who the hell could hold that against someone? Don't we all do that to some extent? Anyway, Tink made me realise that sometimes, spammerific chatting is just as important as 'deep political debates'. Some people have said some mean things about her on NS, but I think they just have the wrong impression about her. And how could I NOT adore someone who did this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/sinuhue/tinklovesme.jpg)?

Those I dislike soon vanish without a trace. :)
THe ones I expected to have the most trouble getting along with were:
Parratoga: The lovely blonde nazi vs. A political, social and racial enigma like me. I expected sparks to fly. But she was a surprisingly likeable bigot. :)
Catholic Europe: He was about as close as one could get to my polar opposite. But, like any TRUE christian, he didn't judge. That's God's job. :)
The Mods: I have skirted the line between Frivolous topics and Spam so long, It has become an artform. :D

Thats what your mom said. Wait, that works against me too, doesn't it? Damn, foiled again.

Socialism doesn't work. Very carefully regulated capitalism can work.
W3rd. Yay for mixed economy!
I point to the Sandinavian nations and fart in your general direction.
No nation of Scandinavia is socialist. They all have mixed economies, with the regulation of capitalism that Drunk Commies describes.
Er, not all forms of Socialism are akin to Communism, you know. Sweden is heavily Socialist, though they've kept a Capitalist economy.
No. Socialism is where there is a government but no capitalism. Communism is where there is no government and no capitalism. Sweden fits neither category. Like most of Europe, they have a mixed economy.

Actually, even odder is that I haven't been on all day...I just came on an hour ago...and last night I was on for a bit, but I got too drunk to post properly. I was pretending I was in the pub with a bunch of friends (we are all in different countries, united through MSN)...and well, we all drank alone...but not alone...kind of weird!
That gives me an idea for an online Macromedia Flash programme. The iPub. But it has probably already been done.

Oh, of course! TINKS.
Hate hate hated her when i first noticed her. Now she seems pretty safe. Im still going to maintain my pretence of hatred though.
:fluffle: :fluffle:
Tink is a sweetie. I was aware vaguely aware of her, but didn't really pay her much attention, until another poster (an adult who should have known better) on here personally attacked her in a really vicious manner. Naturally, it upset her and I could just imagine how it could ruin NS for her. We TGd about the situation and she bounced right back as her same fluffley self. I really admire her for being able to not let another person's attitude adversely affect her.:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:
Zooke! you're back!:fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:
as for people i disliked but have since grown rather fond of, the only one i can think of is DHomme, he was mean to me to start with but it turns out he's actually a top bloke.
I will mention Stephistan though since we've had our ups and downs, I did like her to start with, then she went crazy for a while (no ofence Steph) and was horrible to me but now i think she's awesome again

I'm not much of a Generalite, nor do I have much time for gooey spreading the love threads. That said... this thread got me thinking. There are two NSers with whom I started off poorly but very much grew to like (I've even met one of them): SeOCC and Knootoss. The sad irony is that they truly can't stand each other.
Cue blanket confusion in General: "Who?"
How could I forget Santa Barbara?
He was just so damn irritating...and then he grew on me, as I realised he used his powers for good, not evil:) And he doesn't take shit, from anyone. Now I very much enjoy his posts, even the totally stupid ones (you know...any posts that disagree with me:))...and I'm glad he's back after all!

Czardas, when he joined I was a bit annoying when he kept trying to take over the world in one of my RPs. Now I find him amusing, it's like knowing the next Stalin or some such leader.
For one, Fass, because I discovered I really didn't know anything about him and so I'm neutral towards him now. I'd still like to know HIS views on things, not what others place his views as, which very well may be the truth.

Is it "spicey" or "spicy"? "Spicey" doesn't look right, and "spicy" looks like a racial slur. ah....just substitute "exciting".

If you're writing in English, it's 'spicy'. If you're writing in Intarweb, it's 'spicey' or '5P1C3Y!!111!!oneoneOMG'. ;)
I can say that there is currently nobody actively posting in General that I "disliked" at any time.
There were a few, but I believe most (or all) have stopped posting for the most part.
And no, I had nothing to do with that....*shifty eyes* :p
I don't "adore" anyone, but there are a lot of posters on here who I have a great deal of respect for. I could list them, but I'm lazy and need to get to class soon.

Haven't been around long enough to get past my (intense) dislike of some of my fellow posters.
That said, I too got the initial impression that Fass was an ass. Not based on his opinions, but because I initially only saw some pointless hairsplitting.
I've since realized most of his opinions mirror my own, and must admit that he isn't nearly as impulsive as I am, and makes much, much better arguments than I do. Consequently I have quite a bit of respect for him. Besides, I dig people with more brains than me. More interesting that way.
I'm not at all certain he feels the same way though :p
Also, I completely misunderstood what GNI was all about initially. I thought he was an all-American bible-thumper. Imagine that if you can :p
I positively adore him now though.
I never disliked Fiddles, but he deserves honorary mention here, as he actually caused the demise of my old keyboard. If nothing else, I'd be returning to this forum to read his posts. He's positively insane, but in a very, very good way.
