I hear ya loud and clear. GoofyLaz may be in other parts of the forum, but only SeriousLaz in this area. :) Well, sometimes my editorial efforts tend to be a little humorous, and those might be Original Content - Editorial worthy. But only my best humorous efforts will appear in this section -- when I do humor at all.
Again: Thank you so much for this initiative. It may make FR a good alternative to such places as Red State, and it could become a huge draw, even to the chattering classes. :)
You started this. Now buck up a bit.
:^)
Shoulda scrolled down - rats. My humble apologies...
Anybody’s who has read your “History of FreeRepublic” post from nearly 10 years ago has always known you’re capable of first rate stuff.
Step up, Laz.... Leave the search for cheap laughs to second raters like me.
Agreed. We all know there are people here using anonymous screen names who are significant players in the conservative world. Some of them cannot identify themselves publicly and for others it would not be prudent to do so.
However, there is a significant amount of clout here in our “crowdsourcing” community and Free Republic could quite realistically fill a role that RedState, TownHall, and others are filling now.
Don't take that as criticism of those forums. I have accounts on them as well, in one case probably going back several years before I registered on Free Republic in 2006 (though I'd been reading FR before that). I almost never post comments on those other forums, though I read a lot, and I believe this is an additional opportunity for Free Republic to grow its readership as well as its service to readers.
