This thread is probably going to be deleted, because that's the way it works now, but I don't care any more. Jim, fire your moderators, because they are ruining your forum. Period.

If you do I will donate again, because you've proven yourself. If you don't, I will not donate again, not a dime.

Choose you this day whom you will serve, for no man can serve two masters.

What's a "moderator?"

[Jim Robinson]

Don't bother donating. You ain't coming back.

Thanks for the reminder of how important Free Republic is to so many of us. It's nice to see everyone chatting and catching up with old friends. It makes me want to make my contribution to Free Republic today.

No time like the present, right?
