Do you think it is offensive or considered rude if you praise someone's writing every-time you read their posts?
Depends what comes after ;D I will read on now :P
I am glad you read the other comments and it is a good idea to engage with the ones you like or find interesting, as well as the people you often see commenting - because they are trhe active ones on the platform and are generally a decent group to hang out with.
Why don't you enter the Monomad challenge on hive?
I don't do challenges anymore. I get pretty well rewarded and am relatively well known - so I tend to leave challenges and competitions for others so that I don't get in the way of anyone. I do take part in some initiatives occasionally, but not many. It isn't anything against them, I think they are great and a good way for users to be seen and find people that share similar interests.
Sometimes, the vision you had will not play out as nicely or in a way that you expected and the whole experience is not as mellow.

For me, the best nights have been the most random.
