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.

Just post your own views in as persuasive manner as possible. That is my suggestion. You can't really expect that the bulk of the this neighborhood will agree with you on all of your views. I certainly don't expect that as to myself. :)

Seems most others like him, and he was quite the contributor; now he's been invited back by the owner.

Seems to me that some of the recent problems FR has been experiencing are due to the handiwork of two particular moderators that clearly lack the necessary "judicial" skills for the job. Given the damage they have done to this forum and their intractable biases this pair needs to be REMOVED.

The eminent domain of the Freepers over the owner of this web site.

Collectivists of the world unite and seize power! First stop FreeRepublic!

Depends on who you talk to. I could produce a pretty long list that disagree with that assumption, but won't state so publicly.

Didn't your mother teach you that there's always two sides to every story? It's true, you know.

Personally I will look forward to his triumphant return complete with laurel crown and palm branches at his feet. I want to ask him about the source of some of his original artwork anyway.

RE:#401, that is perfect. I think it would go a long way toward shutting some people up and letting others know whom they are dealing with.

Who is begging? Jim invited him back, and seems most of the posters want him back. Why do you worry so? If you don't like his graphics, don't look at them.

As long as she wears that black leather number with the thigh-high spike-heel boots, bustier, and riding crop again, I'll slide down a mile-long razor blade into a puddle of alcohol ;)

Thanks. Heartfelt, and directed to Jim.

But there are others on FRee Republic who need to heed it.

Time to move on and engage the real enemy.

Oh for crying out loud. If you don't know that by now you just don't want to know.

Laz, Everything I have said about Registered goes double for you. To me, you ARE FR. Don't you realize that you are an icon around here?

I'm not blowing smoke up your butt. Registered is a relative newcommer compared to you.

You may not like the burgers around here these days but most of us other customers really miss you. Don't let a few malcontents drive you away.

It's going your way. It's about to get better. YOU are one of the pillars of this site and to walk away ..... I don't even want to think about it. Stay and make it better.
