You were a little hard on me once, when I was being foolish. Maybe I didn’t know any better, but, maybe I should have. … either way, I kind of hated you for it at the time, but, also, it was partly your voice that hinted to me that something was wrong.
You seemed to think I was lost forever, but, how unhappy you were about that was a lot of what let me see that I was becoming something I didn’t want to be. And that understanding is probably the only way I was able to get turned around … so, the harshness of your judgment might have been the only reason that judgment wasn’t completely correct.
Still kind of a work in progress, but, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have come back at all, otherwise.
Your reputation as an accomplished combat pilot and as an honourable, upstanding individual precedes you Captain Daphiti. Your heart is in the right place, and you have never been afraid nor hesitant to take a stand based on your principles.
Although our encounters are few and far between, it is always a pleasure and never a chore.
With apologies to Ms Raske for breaking the rules (I do hope to come to a party of yours one day), I thought it worth addressing ‘kind words’ to the IGS community in general by saying how much I appreciate the tone of most of the threads in recent weeks. The topics seem (to me) to be more interesting and the debates more measured than those only a short while past.
There’s a challenge for the next person, as no one here really knows me!
I respect and admire your ability and willingness to break the rules when appropriate, in a suitable way, at a suitable time, for a suitable purpose, and to make it appear with so few words that it would be a pleasure to know you.
I’ve noticed you’ve been in the habit of “liking” many people’s posts. While to some, such a simple thing may not mean much, to others, it may bring a smile to their face to be recognized. Thank you for giving these small, positive affirmations.

You taught me what it really meant to be the greatest Sani Sabik philosopher of all time, before I even knew that there was a competition for it, and you did so with great style and presence!
Sorry for sidetracking.
