Oh my goodness.I just started reading and realize how many favorites I left out I just love so MANY!

[spodefly]

I'm sure you meant well with this thread, but one must consider the potential that someone somewhere might be negatively impacted by it.

There could be many posters out there who post frequently, who have been around for a few years, who always try to speel all their words correctly, who attempt either overtly or subtely to convey information, humor, irony, absurdity, whatever, in their posts.

Maybe they don't have an exciting life. They may live alone with cats. They may have no plans for a Friday night. But they have Free Republic. And they come here, and see this thread ... and their heart jumps. "Maybe someone will list me" they think. "Maybe I am someone's favorite freeper!"

So they scan the posts, looking in vain for their name. And the sadness comes over them in a wave. "No one listed me as their favorite" they mumble to themselves. The moment is devastating. All their efforts, all their attempts at humor, or profundity, or the conveyance of useful information have been for naught. No one has noticed them. They are no one's favorite.

And the sadness and emptiness they now feel crushes them like runaway freight train. The emptiness and meaninglessness of their life sweeps them into a vortex of despair.

I'm not saying that has happened, or that it will. Just that it could.

So, this post is for anone who has not been listed by someone else as their favorite. If your name is not anywhere on this thread, then YOU are MY favorite. We are brothers. We have each others back, you and me. We are kindred spirits. You are not alone.

Yep. I haven't seen him in a while, but all his posts were worth reading.

I don't rightly know. Any of you guys got any idea what happened to 'ol EffDot?

JohnHuang2 has posted some great articles. I don't pay a lot of attention to who posts, unless they have a very distinctive personality. Interestingly, although I didn't thoroughly scan the thread, I didn't see very many of my favorite Freepers. Aloha Ronnie is interesting, Archie Bunker on Steroids was always great for a laugh, Chris, whose screen name I can't remember, but always posts the anime pictures with his sig is insightful, I miss Sneaky Pete, and I may be the only one, but I always got a big kick out of Illbay, who I believe had to be the grouchiest individual ever to post. Bush2000 is a hoot. I like reading Lorraine's posts when I'm in a "Days of Our Lives" mood, and miss Inspector Harry Calahan and his acerbic posts.

I heard that MadIvan got a job that removed his ability to use FR (why someone accept such a job is beyond me).

My favorites are:

All of the Viking Kitties, of course!

TheBigB has a great sense of humor; sciencediet makes great pictures; MeekOneGOP can spot trolls for 8 miles; King Prout has a knack for finding the best threads and smashing all idiots to smithereens; mhking has the best ping lists around; If Zavien ever comes around, he's hilarious. There are so many VKs, and they're all the best FReepers out there!

And the non-VK favorites:

Lazamataz: you know a thread's gonna be good if he's on there. One word: Popcorn!

netmilsmom: my homeschoolin'-mom buddy!

Fangorn: My good old FRiend who was sadly banned over a fight with some other freepers. *cries*

There are lots of others I can't remember right now -- but I will! :)

sneakypete isn't gone, he freepmailed me a very sarcastic note about the president a couple of weeks ago or so.

[MoJo2001]

Thanks Jinxie!!

I too consider Texas Cowboy and Texas Termite to be Favorite FReepers as well.

I sure do wish Piper's Grampa would get busy and secure a screenname for her. I'm thinking AZPrincess wouldn't be too much. How about it?

You are absolutely right about The Goddess, but I figured that just covers everything!!!

*HUGS*

[Alouette]

My favorite FReeper is Registered. I want to be just like him when I grow up.

[deport]

I gotta mention classygreeneyedblonde, the best FAKE Freeper ever!

You must not have been around during the time of:

Deep in the Hurtgen Forest

That is until sneakypete outted him and got banned for doing it....

[Skooz]

Paul Atreides, Cicero, cicero's_son, Hacksaw, Prodigal Daughter, AquinasFan, doug from upland and several others I cannot recall right now. These are some of my favorites who seem to always make just the right point.

I lost count of how many times I was about to post a reply to a thread, when one of these folks had not already posted the same sentiment stated better.

Alas babylon for his Sunday morning talking head threads. I read those every week. It saves me from having to suffer through the shows myself.

[MEG33]
