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.

I am seeing more and more of the group from the ninties coming back - or is that my imagination? Good to see you Fintan.

The instructions to the moderators that Jim is going to post for all to see will gladen your hearts, and will allow you to hold their feet to the fire.

Bravo Joe....

Thanks for your reply, and your work. And again, I sincerely agree with you and I admire someone that speaks out when they feel something is out of kilter...

[BADJOE]

Sorry Tex. Remind me what form that is. I've drawn a blank.

Thank you.

Thank you Jim.

[Texasforever]

Well it will be interesting to see this new "policy". I am sure we will see a lot of those moderator "victims" coming back and testing the limits. It should be fun.

"Give it a rest."

I second that. Enough is enough.

Afternoon Delight
( Starland Vocal Band )

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!

Are you REALLY experienced??????

[NittanyLion]

So funny that none of this crying and begging was going on before and he's been gone quite awhile. Wonder what triggered it?

Sounds like the amount of Freepers tired of the double standards as of late finally reached a critical mass. Probably BADJOE's thread the other day pushed it over the edge.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing these two mods of whom BADJOE speaks reined in.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

I second that. Enough is enough.

Only when you do. It goes both ways.

"This will bring a whole new meaning to "zapping" a flamer."

FOTFL! Remind me not to make you mad. Can I make you a nice glass of sweet tea or fetch you a good southern barbeque?

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?

Please let us not inflame the situation any more than I already have.

Let Jim post the rules and then take the measure based on what you see happing.

It is the only fair way.

Jim and I both ate a lot of crow.

Neither of us needs a second helping. : )
