Since,it seems,there's a lot of confusion on this matter...............

[alyasa]

Confusion? Confusion is? La confusion est le sexe?

Kissing someone's arse is when you represent their good points more than is the case, or when you wilfully ignore their failings. Or both.

[jon boy]

i think kissing ass is when you see someone doing it over and over again. its fairky obviuos after a few posts who is who.

[porkmarras]

I'm still puzzled as to how someone can kiss the arse of somebody they don't even know on the internet.But then jonboy,you are right,that sort of thing goes on.

This ^ is kissing someone's arse and saying that I like alyasa's Damien Hirst avatar is a genuine compliment.

[porkmarras]

I dislike Hirst's art but i like alyasa.What do you make of that?

[Tokolosh]

Do you understand Damien's work or are you just trying to be different?
ps: Still think I'm a whore?

[jon boy]

I dislike Hirst's art but i like alyasa.What do you make of that?

profound and deeply troubling.

[porkmarras]

Do you?

[_slavo_]

I remeber me once praising porkmarras's sense of humour and him replying that 'wrong asses are being kissed though'.
Now what do you make of that?

[Tokolosh]

I don't know what to think...

I remember that thread and that wasn't referred to you _slavo_.Apologies for the misunderstanding.But then again,the pm function is there to clarify things if need be.

[Daddylikes]

Yawn.

Don't pay this troll any attention.

[alyasa]

Why is there a whole thread dedicated to kissing asses?

No problem, pork.

ass-kissing is when about a third of the posts in a thread are "you must spread... before you can give it to... again".

To be honest, I thought that too... At first. But after carefully reading some of the posts that had been thusly recognized, I realise that is a valid and genuine method of giving 'props' or 'shout outs' to posts that actually, not only really matter, but provide some sort of value, whether entertainment-oriented, information-oriented or some other less-defined, abstract value. The key point to note is that it actually, really offers value. Not many posters would be inclined to acknowledge and appreciate any post in such a vocal manner, in fact, most posters don't even bother to read half of the threads here, let alone posts or even appreciating them, for that matter...

There are of course exceptions to this rule, people who; strangely enough; think that posting such a reply will give them some sort of tangible, valid and wholly real satisfaction, without actually weighing the merits of the post being commented on. These people will 'rep' a person based on their already bloated reputations, without giving due thought to any meritous considerations of the post itself... These people can usually be spotted by most people on this board easily enough... Though I would say they are uncommonly rare on this board. I might be wrong.

Ass-kissing is in the eye of the beholder.

If the beholder agrees with what is said, it is a compliment. If the beholder disagrees, it is ass-kissing.
