We either go bankrupt or we go to subscription only or we need to get busy today.
Yes, I am a Christian and it’s possible there’s a plank that needs your attention.
Again, have a nice evening. I want no further discussion with you right now. It is clearly an exercise in futility. You are permitted the last word.
Indicating that the Mods need to understand that they work for you, or else.
I note that you did not create the software, purchase the site's equipment and commercial space, contract for internet hosting, legally acquire domain and copyright Name, however you DID threaten to withhold donations because other posters called you names after you called them names.
As you say: "It’s not funny. It’s annoying and childish at best. It’s often insulting."
Why should others not respond to you the same way you comment to them?
While contemplating your response, consider your opening comment: "I know my sarcasm is obvious so I’ll dispense with it here."
A reasonable action, keep it up.
Mods didn’t have to listen to me, but money does talk, I guess. Like I said, why pay to have others call you names or insult you? It ain’t about me, though I have done a better job than some about NOT name calling lately. It’s clearly about something bigger, a silent majority who has slowly said if the vitriol continues, why pay for it.
If you have a particular post where you’d like to challenge a comment I’ve made, go for it. But don’t tell me I’ve insulted others first and not cite when. And sarcasm to make a point is not a personal insult, even if one’s skin is so thin they feel offended.
BTW you never told me how you feel about Trump still supporting Ukraine?
OK, I'll cite the previous sentence in your post:
"... I have done a better job than some about NOT name calling lately.
Thanks, saved me time not linking your regular use of Putin (Insert chosen insult here) .
You post that like it’s something to be proud of. Child like or just embarrassing? You decide. I’m going with both.
And you never told me if you have stopped beating your wife.
And you still haven’t answered, is Trump a Zeeper?
Your disrespect to President Trump is noted as is your attempt to conflate him with Ukraine and Zeeper values.
It was a question to you. You have called others including me a zeeper for having the same position Trump has. Trump wants to stop the war but he’s not letting Russia roll over Ukraine either. That includes some continued support.
By that definition you would equate him with being a Zeeper. And if Zeeper is not intended to be a personal insult, then why so sensitive now?
Leaving Ukraine to its own to lose to Russia was never an option. Too much negative blow back world wide to allowing that, starting with the messaging to China wrt Taiwan.
Trump knows this.
Ah, here it comes, the immaturity of a child when one can’t debate ideas.
The thing that is most embarrassing is that you call yourself both Navy and Patriot. You are the poster child of pettiness.
BTW, you know when you send something to ALL, it really doesn’t go to ALL. LOL
And that animated image which you so much enjoy posting probably costs Mr. Robinson quite a bit of money each time you post it. Your posting of that kind of “comment” is exactly the kind of material that drives away donations, support, and readership.
It’s funny, someone could post a version of Trump singing Green Acres at the Emmys. Does that make him a hick?
Nope, you know I called you a Zeeper for having the same degenerate positions Zelensky has, and it has nothing to do with positions President Trump may or may not have.
You chose to conflate President Trump with the Zeeper Question.
You cannot post a link to ANY statement I have made disagreeing with ANY policy of President Trump because no such disagreement exists.
I will not consider YOUR question or be required to answer YOUR question, or any other Zeepers question, FR is not YOUR Star Chamber.
YOUR relation of President Trump's position and wording is entirely unreliable.
It is not my nature to criticize President Trump, and I will not be tricked into criticizing President Trump by a Degenerate Liar.
The GIF posted is the real image of the real Zelensky performing his real Homo Dance Publicly, for money and influence in Ukraine.
It is actually certain that posting that GIF is a serious attempt to call attention to the political and social danger to Civilization and Christianity, of Zelensky and those that support him, rather than an attempt to harm Free Republic.
...which you so much enjoy posting...
Thank you for the Personal Attack and the Editorial that "Your posting of that kind of “comment” is exactly the kind of material that drives away donations, support, and readership."
I realize that YOU do not want anyone to remember the Real Zelensky and his Real Values.
If Mr. Robinson notifies me to discontinue posting that accurate, real world warning of danger, that I post in reply to fake, manufactured, disinformational Memes posted to me, I will immediately comply without complaint. Free Republic is the property of Jim Robinson and I am a guest in his creation.
You make a lot of false (or ignorant, either way) accusations. You’d rather name call than actually have a conversation. I only point out that, as a satisfied Trump supporter myself, Trump is doing the pragmatic thing wrt Ukraine, that is continuing to support it despite his public statements. That same thing you name call people for, yet you cheer Trump on your home page. You can’t see the hypocrisy in that?
Feel free to continue your hissy fit. As to this thread and why people aren’t donating, you remain reason number one. That is rudeness towards others. Combine that with ignorant projection to support your accusations rather than conversation or debate, and you provide all that is needed to kill FR by slow attrition of paying members. Congratulations. Thats what you win every time you disparage others.
JMHO.
Both of you make the point nicely of one on the challenges on FR.
This is a thread about fundraising.
Oh well.
