I Am Reinstating My Previously Witheld Monthly Payment To FR

Giving priority to what is most important, I have decided to swallow my pride. I had a dustup with a moderator. I lost. Though I think the moderators need a tuneup they ain't so bad really. I depend on them to keep this site from becomming a free for all whacko hate site. I used to push the abuse button quite frequently on my fave undesirables ... anti-semite, haters. I notice they're a bit thin around here lately.

It is most important that Free Republic live and thrive. It is less important that I get things my way around here. Though I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site and he can do with it what he damn will pleases ... It's as much our site, collectively, as it is his now. Perhaps Jim does ride herd a bit too hard on this creation he gave birth to. Fact is I don't know. I simply don't have enough information.

But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does. If it's only my morning paper and a place to exercise my verbal skills ... it's worth supporting. Now is the time for all level headed thinking FReepers to come to the aid of our wounded friend ... Free Republic.

Actually the worst thing to happen around here lately is the loss of Registered. What a blow. We just have to get him back. He did wrong and he knows it. But not that wrong given the provocation. REGISTERED COME HOME. WE NEED YOU.

He did wrong and he knows it

What did he do?

[dts32041]

Seems like they are banning or refusing posting rights to anyone recently.

[Alberta's Child]

Yes -- Inquiring minds want to know.

Every good organization needs some interesting personalities, and Registered certainly is one of them.

[wasp69]

Yeah, what did he do?

Well let's not get into that all over again. It's been hashed and rehashed ad nauseum. If you must have the gory details drop over to libertypost.org, go to biker bar/free republic, and look around. You will have to hold your nose while wading through all the hate but there IS the skinny on our buddy over there. Including our buddy. He needs to get out of that neighborhood.

Whose 'they'?

[Miss Marple]

As you well know, there are two sides to the story, which will not be presented on the forum you cited. Registered, as I understand it, can post here any time he wants to, so any decision to stay away is his.

Just kidding.

[CharacterCounts]

It is my understanding he posted personal info about another Freeper. Thats what I read on the BADJOE thread.

I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site

What's to "agree" with? It's a fact.

Oh, and people who publicly declare their comings and goings have an astoundingly high opinion of their own significance

A Yeah,bump! what did he do?

Hmmm. No, actually it's not. But, welcome back.

[mercy]

Yes I know that. But his feelings are hurt and we should understand that. Perhaps he thought he was above reprimand or he just blew it ... regardless all of us who care about FR should go after him and get him back.

[Fred Mertz]

How much do you contribute each month? Registered will be back in due time.

[Always Right]

Seems like they are banning or refusing posting rights to anyone recently.

Yes, but why then is Tuco-Bad still allowed to post? He lies, slanders Katherine Harris, accusing military personel of voting fraudulantly, and then repeats the lies even after proven wrong.

[F.J. Mitchell]

That wasn't worth repeating, I just screwed up.
