The sad thing is, if I'd only ran the board the way Navigator and Mojo wanted me to, none of this would ever have happend. Well, no, if I'd only ran it the way One Who Knows and Arator wanted it run, none of this would've happened. Oops, or perhaps had I run the board the way Clinton's A Liar and Clarity wanted it run, none of this would've happened. Hmmmm.... well, to be sure, had I only run it the way BADJOE wanted me to run it, then FOR SURE none of this would've happened. Well... come to think of it, every day my email box is chock full of suggestions on how I should REALLY run this website.

FR. It had so much promise. Now it's nothing but chopped liver.

So sad.

re: chopped liver

Do not dispair. After going to co-workers' and friends' childrens' Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs for 35 years, I know chopped liver.

Truse me; This isn't chopped liver. This is Prime Rib!

The mods do a great job, I have been on the receiving end of their moderating and although sometimes I disagree with what they have done, feel they do a good job.

As far as MAF and Dales go, I'm sure they are following your guidelines, or they would have been booted from moderating.

That being said, I still believe that mods should not be a secret (we see how well that has worked), and that they should be rotated from an in-house list of qualified FReepers that are willing to help and finally, while they are Moderators they should be prohibited from posting under their screenname, or from creating a secondary screenname for posting while wearing the moderator badge.

To me, a moderator is a referee, to allow the ref to play, and play as an unidentified ref, is not fair, and only creates a feeling of bias.

But the folks that are doing it now, do a great job and should be thanked, not slammed.

PS; After Echior, the Washington Pest and others, this is flea s**t.

Chin up. You are a great American.,,,, now if we could just get you to move out of the Peoples' Republic of California....

*applause*. Too many people want to be chiefs, not enough want to be indians. (Or should that be "indigenous Americans"?)

Jim, I commend you on your ability to keep a lighthearted perspective on the matter. It's all too easy to fall prey to defensiveness, anger, or self-doubt when faced with so much criticism.

[Saundra Duffy]

I couldn't have survived the Clinton years without FR. Jim, don't let these egomaniacs get you down. You are my hero!!

[Trident/Delta]

Geez,

I am so let down. I was REALLY expecting some new dirt. This is just the same old troll tripe that everyone who gets their panties in a wad spews as they run to the door. I guess I gave BadJoe a bit more credit than he deserved for creativity.

Sigh, I am so depressed, it is almost enough to make me listen to a HoWad Dean speech...... ok, ok, ok, I'm not that depressed!

Goodbye BadJoe (BJ?).. See you in the funny papers.....

*Tch, tch, tch* Scandelous, just scandelous.

Well, back to retaking American culture, through the auspices of the FR arena of the War of Ideas, and as a long time registered FReeper, let me say Free Republic is still ALIVE AND WELL.

Thanks so much, Jim. Command is a tough position and obviously you can't please all the people all the time. Oh, well. Drive on....

Oh, I don't think so.

Pray about it.

It is still the fastest, most accurate source of news and comment in the country. NEVER forget the shuttle disaster. FR tracked it across the country.

They track news across the country.

Pray about it Jim. You are here at this time, this place, with this capacity for good.

The thing to do is wrap it in bacon, then fry it up in butter. It'll be delicious.

Not to worry. Within a decade or so, the Mexicans will tell you how *you* are allowed to run it. If you are one of the ones allowed to live.

if I'd only ran it the way

I personally understand your point but there was a time that there was a rash of bannings that went on in 2002. Is any of that true?
