[quote=“Sky Cat”]A good idea for a thread, @Ņ̶͙͈̹̺̦͈͈͗̀̐͑̇̍̚w̵̭͔̙̳̩͍̯͔̲̫͋̇̽̒͘ả̴̧̦̞̼̗̳̦̣̮̾̓̈̐́̉͠d̸̼̠̪̹̜͂̈́ͅs̴̨̢̥̦̟̊̆̉͛̀m̷̨̳̺̊͊͠
I thank @Skyrison too for creating this place and keeping it going. Some of us refugees from other forums really appreciate it. Sky’ is a wonderful forum admin and we could not ask for better. A man with a good balance of seeking peaceful co-existence and applying firmness when necessary.
@Lucy Barnable is one such forum refugee, a lady I am honoured to have shared a journey with, from forum to forum, until we found our way here. I thank her for her great intelligence, wisdom, caring and balanced judgment. A bright, shining star whom we are blessed to have amongst us.

You have a unique take on things and this is why forums exist: So that, hopefully, forum readers are able to glean perspectives from as many different angles as possible. Even though I don’t know you too well, I can tell that you genuinely care about this forum and this world, as can be seen again from your posts in this thread. You have become a valuable forum member. You are of course right in saying that this world needs more love.
@Elric You are a feisty warrior, always on guard to protect the forum and looking out for the world at large. Your life experience and unique wisdom always add a unique flavour when reading your perspectives on things. You often do not mince your words or hold back expressing your feelings about things. Your zeal is high when it comes to your appraisal of right and wrong in the world. Your fighting spirit is admirable, maybe just be careful of not stepping on any toes of bystanders as you walk along on your mission.
@Treebeard A wise and well-read individual with a great knowledge of history and geopolitics, and a very good writer too.
@Apache54 Another warrior and one with deep experience that allows him to understand the world through a unique lens, even though perhaps not a lens that everyone would choose if it were offered to them. Apache only wants to make his country and the world a better place and protect what he deems worth protecting, an admirable quality. Intelligent and an expert in certain areas.
@Atrand A pleasant forum contributor, always adding his 2c on news and geopolitical matters. A consistent poster who is what makes a forum a forum. Reserved but both passionate and outspoken about world events.
@Zen One Aloof and intelligent; someone who always adds his 2c when he posts.
@Uncle Thanky A man with a very big heart and eternal positivity.
@anthony A wise poster with health-related and technical knowledge.[/quote]
Thank you @Sky Cat much appreciated and yes I hear you, I’m working on it 
I’ve known you for some time SC; I actually remember the first time that I saw your avatar that made me laugh, that is as much a part of your forum identity as your handle. Though I didn’t really get to know you until we met up here.
You’ve opened up for me [and hopefully the rest of the forum] an entirely new level of understanding that my research barely touched.
You have a depth of knowledge on the subject of our true ‘ancestors’ [if we can call them that] and the powers that be who control the puppets who we call our leaders, simply blows me away.
Your intelligence, your humour and your ability to sum up a situation in an unbiased, fair, rational and clear manner is impressive and admirable.
The forum would not be half as interesting without your contributions on a wide range of subjects.
Your efforts are very much appreciated.
As for everyone else here; yes, what you said
