Best wishes to you sincerely.

The anti Semites are wrong.

No more hate please, everyone.

And may the US Constitution reign supreme in the USA

nothing lasts forever...

I shudda read ahead...

...a foggy mist lingers in the air as from the gloom there come whispered echoes: “What ever became of ELSIE?”

Doing the stuff mentioned in Point E would be useful in attracting the Gen Z folks who are breaking for conservatism and Trump.

Also, you could use AutoHotKey in Windows to remapp Caps Lock to ctrl+c, Esc to ctrl+v; NumLock to Esc and the middle mouse button to crtrl+x.

AutoHotKey script:

NumLock::Esc CapsLock::^c Esc::^v mbutton::^x

Thank you!

Thank you!!

THANK YOU!!!

The only answer is, make the friends here you want, and ignore that which you do not like.

Art imitating life AGAIN?!?!?

[Savage Beast]

And untrue.

And don’t get me started with the flannel I’ve been wearing for decades.

I started the ripped jeans trend in the 70's. My one or two pairs would literally wear out at the knees, who knew I would be such a fashion inspiration!

I agree with pretty much all that you posted, and hope that you won't be leaving, but can understand.

I WILL also mention that tree post formatting IS possible (through cynwoody's script), but it takes a couple of minutes to set up:





(EXAMPLE)







I've been using it for years, and I know a few others are too.

She has been promoted a couple of times (I think it is the same person)..
She is still here (capt. now, I believe).

[Bikkuri]

promoted again, lol..

[Bikkuri]

I think I recall any doxxing on here would be banned and charges filed (don’t quote me on that..).

[Bikkuri]

I have taken a few breaks myself, but usually a real break after election chaos to catch a breather.

half beast

I thought Jewishness (as it were) was matrilineal...?

[Bikkuri]

"but I don’t see it"

I am not Jewish, but I HAVE seen it.
Some of it flashes like 80s neon lights.

Aren’t you the famed and notorious Freeper whom NYT tried to track down with help of a “genius” from Institute for Advanced Study for posting about BO back in 2008?

FR is a town square. Lots of people.

Lots of viewpoints.

Yes there are anti-semites, racists, misogynists, etc. That’s just the real world.

But lots of good stuff as well (like my posts - haha).

Hate to see people leave.

I like Freerepublic just the way it Is. I hate change in websites..

Just what did I say that warranted your remarks? Perhaps my failure to put the rest of the comment I was responding to (The ability to respond inline to comments...) in italics led to a misunderstanding. I said "Overall, it is still far superior to any other forum I have ever been on." And I mean it, and which includes the mature rules and moderation.

I would rather leave FR like it is rather than risk changes, unless perhaps a "Like/Dislike" feature and an edit option for 15 minutes could be implemented without changing anything else. But that is not a real complaint, and certainly not a reason to leave. A few of anti-Israel, Putin promoters and hyper isolationists, and religion scorners is an issue, but all can have a say.
