Publicly speaking, I don't care how anyone "interprets" what my motive is for commending an individual's achievement.
If one wants to call it "a$$ licking" that's their prerogative. I could care less.
What I do care about is the lack of virtue on the part of the one that has such a pessimistic view of life that they should judge an individual as motivated by the need to kiss ass simply because that one would congratulate another for a good work.
Originally posted by divegeester Perhaps, but I don't see Russ posting about this anywhere, so clearly he doesn't care enough to share it in here and certainly not as a random thread in the spirituality forum. Don't you have other more personally significant anniversaries you want to focus on?
There are communications by many people to many other people on this website of which you and I were totally unaware of yesterday. So don't assume with a long proboscis. Rather live and let live without straining to know what is none of your business. Some communications occur on a need to know basis.

Contacting him privately is easily done and no doubt some have. There is certainly a difference between conveying good wishes to someone and wanting to be seen to be conveying good wishes by others.
Originally posted by josephw Explain how it is that I put words in anyone's mouth. You're the one that says it's "behind licking". Are you judging my motive?
Your question to me was:
Why do you feel the need to make it a character flaw to say something polite to someone for doing a good thing?
I said no such thing. You misrepresented me.
It is akin to the age old "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

But robbie, I don't know what answer roigam is going to give.

"I said no such thing. You misrepresented me."
Then what do you mean by "behind licking"? Did you mean it in a good way, like it's a good thing to do?
No you didn't! You meant it in a derogatory way. In a way that's meant to belittle and malign the character of the one you said it about, and you did it without provocation.
