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.

after getting his "Sore/Loserman" design

*yawn* it wasn't his.

Actually the worst thing to happen around here lately is the loss of Registered.

Bad as that is, it's the loss of BADJOE that really hurts.

[M. Thatcher]

you have a smart mouth.

You are correct. As well as brain. And other things.

As to the babe bit, you clearly didn't read the whole thread. See post 55.

[mercy]

You're a mensch.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

The loss of these people is their own choice. Get over it.

They're big boys. What's ridiculous is the I-need-to-feel-important opus and subsequent talking it to death. Just say good-bye.

Enough of the victimhood crap.........Sheesh !!!!!! Whining never flatters anyone and these former or soon to be former Freepers are no exception.

Don't start that. That is a subject that should be off limits. It should probably never have gotten to the forum and it needs to be settled by the TWO PERSONS it involves. We can and should do NOTHING.

[OKSooner]

I got sideways with Registered myself recently over something and overreacted to it as well. (I may or may not have taken my lumps in private.) This is the first I've heard of him being gone. I hope he comes back. We need his kind of talent.

[Hrebeljanovic]

Afterall, I am the one that swam the ocean with the dagger clenched in my teeth.
So I should know.
And now, all I can do is second your post.

[michigander]

Sorry I'm a bit late replyin' to ya but, there's some strategically placed excrement land mines in this thread I needed to step over on my way to your reply (you'd almost think it was coordinated or something). If ya know what I mean eh?

A salute to the Yoopers from an LPer! ;-)

[js1138]

You signed up two days before I did. A lot of folks have come and gone -- including most of the most prolific posters.

And yet the forum survives.

[LowOiL]

Gee, could you get a little more hate in one post next time buddy? Do you have like 666 extra hate keys on your pad that we don't have? Get a life...

[mercy]

LOL is too trite. I really did laugh out loud.

[Senator Pardek]

. No, there is "ownership," and it has a very clear, very simple, and very stark definition. Hint: you are not the owner, and you have no ultimate say about what happens here.

I gotta laugh when folks try to pass FR off as a "conservative website".

Impossible.

Why?

Because 80% of the posters have no clue as to what "property rights" are is, and have no idea concerning the definition of the word "censorship".

Gotta run - I'm off to donate to the Red Cross so I can reserve the right to talk to the BOD and expect my demands to be met immediately.

I don't know what two persons it involves, and I wasn't proposing doing anything. We can and should do nothing about Registered, either. Like you, I was strictly talking in terms of the loss to the forum. We'll all miss Registered's graphics, but we'll miss BADJOE's fundraising efforts even more.

I'm with ya, man -- pet peeve of mine. Along with people who spell "LOSER" with two o's.

[tomkat]

reason enough to ping-ping-ping him !

Well Sorrrry, Miss Smartypants. Its a problem I've always had - it's spectre forever haunts me....

[Rebelbase]

Stand on your principles and damn the sycophants.

[Amelia]

Absolutely! A big part of the ill will around here, (vastly over estimated) is some folks who think they ARE somebody and act that way.

Yeah, like Registered. He can come back any time he wants, so why does he need to be BEGGED?

Threads like this don't exactly pour oil on troubled waters either.

But thanks for stirring up a little more *stuff*, not like there hasn't been enough lately.

That's all I have to say on this thread.

[M. Thatcher]

IT'S??????? IT'S??????????? APOSTROPHE????????????????????????

You're toying with me, now.
