I Am Reinstating My Previously Witheld Monthly Payment To FR

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.

Heck, Lazamataz is all over the place there as well. I do, however, feel that since we fund FR we should not have to risk getting kicked for simply criticizing the forum itself. Sometimes the management here seems to be bit thin-skinned.

I agree with that. But it's not just the management. Freepers are smart, but they sure don't know how to disagree with respect. Too bad! (To clarify: 99.9% of Freepers are smart. Maybe 20-30% of Freepers need a personality tune-up or a 6 week charm school course or something. That's still probably better than the general population, lol!)

Mean is not persuasive. I don't know why people can't get that.

[mercy]

That was kind of you. Decent too. Thanks.

[Poohbah]

But...but...but...surely the little voices that tell me that stuff aren't lying to me, are they?

[mercy]

Tanks. I'll remember that.

[Cultural Jihad]

Registered can come back any time he wants .. but that is up to him .. we can't force him to post

I clicked on the "View Replies" link under your post, and lo! It said "No replies."

[FourtySeven]

Well, I am sorry his feelings are hurt. Perhaps this will be a good lesson for him in how other people feel when they are the targets of his barbs.

Amen.

[AdA$tra]

Mean is not persuasive.

Good point. Good thing I don't have a mean bone in my body. Oh, and "Hi!" by the way.

[Fred Mertz]

So You Want to be a Yooper? Eh?

This is rated PG 13. I received this via e-mail.

[FourtySeven]

And yeah, compared to you I am humble. If I ever leave, or return, I'm not going to write some annoying, vapid, self-centered screed about it. Because why? NOBODY CARES.

Right.

Like the bumper sticker says: "Nine out of ten voices in my head are telling me to load my gun."

[Revolting cat!]

What I wanna know is where to go to bitch about Free Republic and Liberty Post! It's a conspiracy, I tell ya, a clique!

[Poohbah]

Like the bumper sticker says: "Nine out of ten voices in my head are telling me to load my gun."

You gotta wonder what the tenth voice is saying :o)

[ofMagog]

So that's what you've been doing instead of helping to load the ship.

BTW, this thread doesn't seem to have a dang thing to do with Texas.

[Mo1]

I did that triple bump for emphasis.

Dang one short of a funkle .. Boy hey it was a good try .. LOL

[Mo1]

Oh well ..

[paulklenk]

You gotta wonder what the tenth voice is saying :o)

"We had spaghetti at our house three times last week!"

[Mo1]

Geeez .. will I ever learning to type correctly ..

Boy = But

[dighton]

The guy is, to use a highly technical term from the psychiatric profession, an utter loony.

"Look, it's people like you what cause unrest."

[Neets]

I WAS gonna go for the Funkle, but decided to Fourkle instead.

[Sabertooth]

BTTT. (Too bad you threw in the bit about Registered at the end, which only served to distract from your intended message.)

BTTT to the first part of your message.
