I Am Reinstating My Previously Witheld Monthly Payment To FR
vanity | 08-26-02 | mercy

Posted on 08/26/2002 9:57:23 AM PDT by mercy

Giving priority to what is most important, I have decided to swallow my pride. I had a dustup with a moderator. I lost. Though I think the moderators need a tuneup they ain't so bad really. I depend on them to keep this site from becomming a free for all whacko hate site. I used to push the abuse button quite frequently on my fave undesirables ... anti-semite, haters. I notice they're a bit thin around here lately.

It is most important that Free Republic live and thrive. It is less important that I get things my way around here. Though I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site and he can do with it what he damn will pleases ... It's as much our site, collectively, as it is his now. Perhaps Jim does ride herd a bit too hard on this creation he gave birth to. Fact is I don't know. I simply don't have enough information.

But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does. If it's only my morning paper and a place to exercise my verbal skills ... it's worth supporting. Now is the time for all level headed thinking FReepers to come to the aid of our wounded friend ... Free Republic.

We could probably debate various of the individual points in it, but in general I wholeheartedly endorse your plan.

So, it doesn't look like we'll be voting for too many candidates come November. ;-)

... coming from a fascist with no conscience ...

Ah, too bad. You played the Nazi card, as if your self-marginalization needed any help.

Ah, too bad you are so ignorant. You are the one who brought up the Nazis.

Look, I don't like guildtrips and I don't want to make a mountian out of a molehill. All I want to say is with everything else I have going on, I was just starting to take the things people were saying in forum a bit too personally. Rather than saying something I'd regret, I handed in my login and took a break. No magnum opus for me.

A break from FR is authorized and encouraged. As long as it isn't more than a week.

Now that you're buddies with tex, see if you can talk him into taking two weeks off.
-- The idea is OK so far with JR, but he's balking about the paid vacation aspect.

Politicians follow two things, money and votes.

Yes the pols are following the electorate and the electorate is the problem.

Glad to hear it. I've taken vacations from FR too - sometimes you just have to.

(Actually, my exit was more a "petit dudgeon," but you get the idea).

CJ, how do you "rid corruption in people" without violating their constitutional rights?

There is a constitutional "right" to corruption?

I knew a guy once, drank drano to drive the devils from his soul. Reminds me a bit of you cultist boyos.

It worked. He died and no doubt found his uncorruptible jihadic paradise.

Tpaine, if I were able to read your mind, would that be a warrantless search?
