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.
According to the polls, the most important thing to most voters right now is a federally paid prescription drug program - what does that tell you?
I think we do need a generational change, and I think Clancy J. is right on the money about this.
If you do come back, I would think you should at least demand a ticker-tape parade, a holiday named after you and a major butt-kiss.
Concluding you're an idiot doesn't make me "narrow-minded" -- it makes me astute.
Your intellectual prowess is no doubt matched by your diminutive equipment.
"Family value morality" (sic, but I know what you mean) are the very heart and soul of political conservatism.
Why don't you try leaving your body in one room and your heart, lungs, and brain in another. Drop me a post card and tell me how the experiment turned out.
Oh, kinda like Dark Mirage?
Did I say you were liberal? Hmmm...
Could you please go back and help me find the place where it should be obvious to me that you were making the point that you know you aren't humble?
I still fail to see, wordmaster, where you answered this question, so that I can see why you so hastily called me a twit. (I notice you sometimes like to open your posts with such greetings, which I would understand to be personal attacks, but perhaps the admin mods don't agree. In any case, someone who has a firm grasp of and talent for words shouldn't have to resort to such banal insults.)
tpaine doesn't follow netiquette himself. He claims if someone sends him a FReepmail it then belongs to him and he is therefore free to do whatever he wants to with it.
Sorry if I was not explicit enough to suit you (of course, I was not addressing you in the first place); in any event I expect I have now clarified it to within an inch of its life; you do get the point now, I trust. It's really not a profound enough idea to discuss past a single post.
Just kinda thought we'd get some lyrics going like on the "HEALING" thread....
