She has many projects, but details can't be posted out in the open. Feel free to PM her about MMM topics, she has a gift for the gab when it comes to her projects.


Sounds like ass kissing. I trust you have motives.

I would simply like to thank Blixa for being a good conversation partner in chat and on the message board. I have enjoyed these discussions greatly.

Blixa, without question or exception, one of the most genuine, authentic, giving, truly thoughtful, and precious human beings that I have come across on any of these discussion boards.

Among many things that she has taught me, I would say the most important thing (To me) has been that grace is not a byproduct of a person's beliefs/religion, but grace (in fact and often in many forms) is shared/given from one individual human being to another human being.

in my opinion, a very rare and precious jewel on these boards!

Peace,
Ceeboo

Blixa rocks. She is attuned to certain kinds of subtlety that others seem to miss. She understands that some things are virtually indefensible, and that certain kinds of defenses for those things are even worse.

Well-said. I have been excessively cautious around her. :redface:

Absolutely on target.

I've learned from Blixa that you're not necessarily a geek even if you like trashy vampire novels.

Blixa is one of the few people left out there who truly has style. Style is both unappreciated and poorly understood. In an age of philistinism run amok, Blixa is the epitome of style in a robust sense.

Wow. No good deed goes unpunished, eh? Thanks so much everyone, though I think you all exaggerated a great deal.

This is quite a nice thing to read during the period of the semester I call Grading Ragnarök. After fighting through a couple hundred essays, I am nearly ready to start babbling about knowledge qua knowledge or something ridiculous like that.

(Dear god, Paul, what did I ever do to you?)
