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.

Grammarian

Grammarian usually has little to contribute to a discussion and possesses few effective weapons. To compensate, he will point out minor errors in spelling and grammar. Because of Grammarian's obvious weakness most Warriors ignore him.

I'm a person of my word. You won, fair and square.

No you are not going to leave just to keep your" word" to a people that would just applaud your demise. This is going to be very interesting.

Untill I can see a 3rd party post met with logic instead of hate

When someone posts a 3rd party thread that contains any logic then you may get what you want. How is that?

Untill I can see a 3rd party post met with logic instead of hate, I'll keep my monthly.

Isn't it more logical to listen a bit more closely to the guy who can consistently bring me 48-52 percent of the vote than it is to listen to the ones who represent 0.4 percent of the vote?

I don't believe anyone here truly "hates" third parties, but its only human nature to dance with the one who brung ya.

Larry, all of us should be actively recruiting the 255,000,000 Americans who are not FReepers to our conservative cause. If we recruit enough of them, we will prevail.

We sould not be engaged in drumming good conservatives out of the corps -- that is a game the Libertarians play, and by the time they are done drumming people out for this or that apostacy, there is no one left.

I don't care to play that game.

This political game we are engaged in is called WAR, and it is a numbers game.

Political Golden Rule: "He who has the most votes wins."

I'd like to win, TYVM, and chasing people away is not a way to win. We need to convert people to our cause, not drum them out.

I am sure Registered and many other Freepers will hold their postion till they see the results of the chages that are being made.

The proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

Our job is going to be to try to humor and reason folks out of their anger and nastyness. Some have every justifcation to feel that anger, which brings out a certain nasty side of their disposition.

The best thing we who care can do is set the example.

can't help but wonder if the Bushbots didn't finally drive Registered away. If so they're bigger thugs than I thought.

Hey! I am one of those so called Bushbots, and I am a little thing!:) And no, we did not drive Registered away!!!

Joe, glad your back. We never talked to much, but I can tell you that I thought your position about the moderators was right on the money. I don't have an opinion about how you went about it. That's your decision and I will respect that.

But your are right about one or two of the AM killing their own. I have recently felt like the enemy, waiting to catch a bullet.

Welcome back Joe. And I sincerely mean it.

Joe Hadenuf.....
