Seeing as how this thread has turned downhill as well as ridiculously long, I'm locking it, and giving the offenders a warning. Use of this board to abuse other members will not be tolerated, even when it is mutual.
Furthermore, do not take this as an invitation to start another "____ the person before you" thread. I don't feel like trying to police another long thread full of low-content posts. Use some judgement in how you want to pass compliments, and don't try to make it a gimmick out of it just to raise your post count.
