My Comment: #16 stephbg on 23 Nov 2008 at 8:43 am So have I detroyed your deep respect of me as an internet commentator by concluding an otherwise intelligent exchange with the following:
OMG! OMG! *running, armwaving, and fangrrlish squeeing*
That’s just me being pleased and surprised to see you. A couple of years ago I offered to become Tim Powers’ official stalker for the con we were at. More recently I got to play with Elizabeth Moon and was always pleased to see her and we had long chats in stairwells. It’s just me being happy to interact with people whose work I admire.
John's response: @19 stephbg:
You’ve definitely not destroyed my deep respect. I am not so humble that I cannot admit enjoyment out of a good squee that my presence has caused. One of my points, though, is that one should not comment elsewhere just to get a “squee” fix.
