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.

Oh, PLEASE, Dear Suffering Lord. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. (Although I do not want that person pushed out or even attacked. That person does much more harm around here than good however.)

[kayak]

Thanks so much for this!!!!!!! It's not an easy thing to do.

But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does.

That sentence of your bears repeating .... loudly and clearly ...... :-)

[woofie]

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.

But, I care...

Meanwhile, mercy just told another poster that he had hated her from the first.

Mojo, is that you?

[facedown]

BTTT!

[mercy]

Oh get off it Marple. You're sounding hollow today. MT and I know a hate that is deep and meaningful. It's also cybernaught-one-small-step-above-vacumn.

(And I'm supposed to consider the feelings of someone who jumps down my throat at any opportunity!)

[M. Thatcher]

MT and I know a hate that is deep and meaningful.

Speak for yourself. I find you the cyber equivalent of a stick insect, not eliciting an emotion of any kind.

[mercy]

FUNNY! I'm waiting. I'm sure it has reached the upper levels already.

[mercy]

Yeah, but yer bumpin my thread.

[AdA$tra]

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.

[mercy]

It is important to point out that he is not crapping on us over there however. Bitching yes, but he is not an AF. He spends a lot of time going after the silly things over there that are making a life out of hating FR.

[RAT Patrol]

I don't know the argument...but I'm on Registered's side anyway! He's a great person and a bundle of talent. (Oh, gee..you mean he's not perfect? So what!)

[mercy]

Gotta go do some chores.

Discuss amoungst yourselves.

[Neets]

Kay sweetie, thanks so much for the ping.

Mercy, if you don't mind I'd like to reiterate what I think are the key points of your post that all of us should do/remember,

enough, already, both of you.....FWIW, mercy....welcome back...and ya gotta cut Maggie a litle slack...she breathes Clinton air every day here in our fair burb..she occasionally spews forth..but, she's a babe.....now, play nice, both of you..

[RAT Patrol]

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

While we wait for this thread to be deleted, why don't we call play a game:

See how many arguments we can start.

See whether we can pick a few scabs and talk about old wounds.

See if there aren't some pointless jabs we can make at each other that haven't been made already.

See who can be Holier Than Thou.

See how long we can go before invoking Jim's Right To Do As He Pleases.

See how many times we can hit the abuse button.

Everyone, try to do one or more of the above before this thread reaches 3,000. At that point I shall run a tally for everyone and then spit up.

[Fred Mertz]

C'mon dude, don't add any fuel to the fire. We want a happy thread for a change.

[dubyagee]

Bahhahahahha...

[M. Thatcher]

Okay, then, since you call me a babe...I'll follow you anywhere.
