You know don-o, I was banned for a long time. I said the wrong thing at the wrong time and Jim booted me. I didn't feel it was justified and I was pretty mad myself for a long time. I went looking for an alternative to FR. I can tell you, there really isn't one.

There is nothing like FR out there.

Not all of us agrees with Jim's opinions on everything, or even his opinions on how to run his site. But this is what we've got. It's a pretty damn good site and heads and tails above what the nutjobs at DU work with (which is basically a bulletin board.

People need to pony up.

Indeed, people need to pony up.
It took me many years to begin supporting FR. Once I was blind, and poverty struck. I am still por but without blinders.
If P&R were conditional would income increase? How many lurkers who never post are supportive? It seems manifestly obvious that the most important posts here are not coming from fee loaders.
Hard to find a nice way to say it. Pony up or sit down.
