Weve become a circular firing squad, and have already killed off 80% of our own people.
"everyone I knew basically left because of so much childish, immature personal attacks. The propensity there to eat their own..." --Sean HannityI agree with you. You can't keep eliminating people and attacking your own ... otherwise, no one is left to fund the site. That being said, I would encourage for Free Republic to display a top banner ad like Drudge has, but, of course, in order to get the high-paying advertiser, you'd have to have a site that's up nearly 100% of the time.
Still posting mysterious and enigmatic messages. :-)
And, you forgot to add “There’s no crying in baseball!” :-)
Yea vag, the purges were really silly. And counter-productive to boot. They did offer a few sick individuals like you the opportunity to indulge in your thuggish ways. But as long as we are exploring new and innovative ways to generate operating funds perhaps management should consider auctions.
For example, I would be willing to ante in $50 to kick your sorry azz to the curb. I bet there would be plenty of others that would love to weigh in on the action as well. We could add some cushion to the coffers and clean up the joint at the same time!
Neat idea, eh?!
But I nixed the idea of his church as there's no bassoons either.
Elsie is a cow with a small mind who would revive burning at the stake.

Wow. A) you don’t know Elsie B) He is not a cow, C) he has never shown any propensity to violence, D) you forgot to ping him and E) your post shows exactly where the ‘hate’ comes from and it isn’t from the ‘antis’.
Should be a simple software check: If you're a donee; then no banners for you!
Yes, I saw that thread, I guess I wondered how it got to that point. It doesn’t matter.
Sure, like many of your post, some I agree with, some I don’t, but I am not gonna be the one to tell you you are wrong in your beliefs, thats just not right.Nothing wrong with bringing up alternative ideas, but not to try and brow beat someone into submission.
LOL post 196 before a laugh....GG (thanks)
And religion, who needs it? Do away with it! Wait, that sounds like an atheist, or liberal or democrat! ;)
Why do people always want to silence religion? If you don't like a certain area, DON'T GO THERE!
IBM’s DB/2 has many price points and can be purchased VERY competitively for a single server license and then grow across servers as finances and demand permit. It is an excellent fast, reliable and very cost effective product.
My suggestion is that, while we like to have fun, it should still be decent and professional ESPECIALLY when we have guests the stature of an active Conservative leader like Duncan Hunter. Don't we want more access to actual players like him? I think we do.
We won't get them with rickety technology and shockingly poor behavior.
I love and support FR. But surely we must keep our house in order, too. Adults must take care that things are kept in shape around here so that we can continue to have fun, be informed and have a continuing powerful influence on this Republic of ours.
Capiche?
;-)
There is no inquisition going on, just a defense of the faith.
I’m surprised at how many freepers are against free speech.
LOL!!!
I don’t know how they could enforce the mandatory search.
With the keywords, they could just make it a mandatory field, to put in at least two keywords.
People ought to be able to think up that many. Usually the name of the city works. Or the person involved. Or something relating to the topic.
As for the blog pimps, I’d be in favor of someone going through the bloggers and personal forum and looking at the posting history of those posting and if they never or rarely post replies to their thread, just delete them all and free up storage space in the computers. I don’t know how much that would actually accomplish, if it would be worth it, but it just really annoys me to see some people just using FR thinking that they’re going to get hits on their blogs because they posted here.
There are also blogpimps who use their FR homepage to advertise their blogs. That could go as well.
Like this one. Multiple threads a day all linked to its site, very few comments on them in the form of replies.

This is the sort of thing I’d LOVE to see go or that should be charged for staying. Enough of using FR as FRee advertising.
That's why we step up and take a stand, right?
Sneezes smell better...
..and are less likely to catch fire.
