I won't name the ones who remain but I am grateful for them.
I likewise won't mention names. There are members who I feel make high quality posts or are at the very least entertaining; but explicitly mentioning names implicitly defines the rest as not admirable or inspiring. This is something I don't want to do.

Quite so. In menining a few-they were the ones that drove me o exra effort. It wasn't implying that the others were lesser. Though Gaylen is just an expert at his job, and Shirina is just so good..and there I go again, peeing from the choir loft.....
There were more than there are now.

I think the people I admire probably know who they are. They are the people I interact with in a positive way. While I would love to name names and show my appreciation, I would be sorry if I missed anyone out and made them feel unloved.

Actually saying nice things about people is how we show appreciation. Saying kind words is extending goodness. Withholding goodness is, well, choosing not to add goodness to the world.
Surely at home and at work you appreciate when people say kind words to you?
I'll tell you what Tzaphkiel, as the thread is about admiration and inspiration I'll post something by someone who no longer posts on the forum. She hasn't posted for years in fact. I once started a thread about freewill and Katiegal posted this in response:

I actually try to stay away from pondering too deeply about the concept of free will. It's kind of scary and maybe even a bit dehumanizing. A person is kind of like a cork tossed into the ocean; where the cork goes and where it ultimately ends up has almost nothing to do with the cork itself. It is subject to outside forces, including the size and the shape of the cork itself, which paradoxically, is also out of the control of the cork.
I am an atheist, but it has almost nothing to do with the concept of free will and my thoughts on it. Although the critical thinking used to analyze the concept of free will is not dissimilar to the critical thinking used to analyze the concept of a god.
This post blew me away if I'm I'm honest. I thought it was one of the most poetic and profound things I had ever read. I think Katiegal had a real gift for writing, but she left the forum because she felt she could not speak her mind here. A great shame.
