5% continues to support 100% of FR
BTLD | 8/27/14 | BTLD

Posted on 08/27/2014 6:14:22 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

The sad truth remains that 5% of FReepers support 100% of FR. Can you imagine what it would be like if we had 10% support? These things would wrap up in days, not months.

When I joined FR ten years ago, it was not uncommon to git 'er done in 7-10 days. It was less expensive 10 years ago, but, it really shouldn't take two months.

Not everybody can donate. I get that. But, I'm certain that we have some among the 95% that are FReeploading. Harsh words, but I know it's true.

Imagine no FR. No way to get the REAL news that affects us all. No pool of talent to ferret out the real truth. No ability to call BS when we see it.

The list goes on.

We need your help. We need new donors. We need new blood.

If you've never donated, give it a whirl. If you donate once in a while, try monthly donations. It's really painless.

Imagine a Freepathon that lasts days, not months.

I think that I read about that last year. :-)

You’re right, I don’t have a good reason, except for what seems to be wasted hope that action might be taken to get rid of the bad seed, and hope that maybe some of those that used to make FR great will trickle back.

That’s interesting, I’ve been here longer than you too.

I’m afraid that all your heroes joined anti-FReeper sites. I doubt they’ll be back.

Not by much. Not even a year.

I could have just hit the "report abuse" tab, but as a courtesy I posted on the thread and pinged you, since I don't like to sneak around behind someone's back.

And by the way, I don't recall ever having tried to run people off the site. Just seems to me that when they are miserable here, they leave of their own volition.

You guys are the poster children for what’s wrong with FR. Someone disagrees with you who’s been here longer than both of you, and like a bunch of whiny pansies you label me a disruptor like I got here yesterday, then call in the mods and Jim, because you can’t fight your own battles and win the argument.

You act like a bunch of liberal union thugs or better yet, some Huff Post limp wrists. And you wonder why this place can’t pay the bills.

You don’t own this freakin’ site, and you don’t police it.

Yet another problem of why this place is going downhill, anyone complains and you run them off, then wonder why the bills don’t get paid.

Just like liberals wonder why the money doesn’t flow in when they raise taxes.

You are exactly right. Jim Robinson owns it, and the mods police it. I just sit back and eat my popcorn and watch.

” - - - but I hate what this place has become. - - - - “

Hmmmmmmm - - - - ?

Does that mean that you are part of the problem, or part of the solution?

BTW, if you are not one of those who loves to hate, then you would be part of the problem AND part of the solution.

Do you think FR is part of the solution, because you can string together words into projection rhetoric that sound really serious and adult-like?

You realize that FR has almost near zero influence on politics at any level these days, unlike in the past? We spend most of our time here looking inward, doing nothing, and eating our own?

Is this series of bitter complaints and personal attacks your grand opus?

BWAHAHAHA! What, do you think you can do some amateur hour Alinsky shuck and jive and prove something?

Been here longer than you, and yet you reduce everything down to a few comments on a single thread. Are you with MSNBC, the DNC?

You’re trying to run me off, who’s been here longer than you, while you’re whining that you can’t pay the bills. Do you not see a very ironic contradiction here?

Get a clue, the FR thug squad routine is not the solution, it is the problem.

Physician, heal thyself.

Thank you so much. All is not well at all, but FR is my home and I miss you all, and I love you, dearest exit82.

No need. I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be here today.
Bad day.
