I'm signed up for a monthly donation, but I just kicked in another 2 months' worth on top for your challenge. Here's the note I wrote with my donation.

Hi Jim and the FR Crew,
I'm kicking in an extra 2 months of my monthly donation today, in answer to Swordmaker's challenge:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3282385/posts?page=3#3
I treasure FreeRepublic as not only a terrific forum for political, social, science, technical, and other news, but also AN ISLAND OF SANITY IN A WORLD GOING INSANE.
People who intentionally disrupt harmless special interest threads (such as the Apple Ping List threads, or my own Windows Ping List threads) with personal insults and defamatory statements, are doing FreeRepublic a disservice and threaten our safe haven of relative sanity. My extra donation this month is to demonstrate my support of the idea that Conservatives shouldn't tear each other down over silly things like technology. There are so many more important battles to fight to save Our Beloved Nation.
Thank you for your continued hard work to keep FreeRepublic going and improving, and God Bless you for your efforts to save America from the dangers she faces.
Very best FRegards,
Dayglored
Thank you for a very rational and conservative response and action!
