I'll start off with a few of my own Favorite FReepers, who've done so much over the years to educate, chastize, amuse, and challenge me. Do I agree with all of them all the time? HAAAAIIIILLLL, NO! But no matter what, their presence on a thread will get that thread a look and a thought from me.
In no particular order, some of MY Favorite FReepers...
68-69tonkingulfyatchclub: Tonk is the tireless Coastie who runs the Canteen threads. His heart and abilities are at all times tuned to the welfare and morale of America's military. He and his band of merry Canteeners have many times brightened this Sailor's day, and comforted me at dark times to numerous to count.
tpaine: tpaine can recite the Constitution from memory, or at least seems to be able to. He holds the line for the Libertarian/Constitutionalist FR contingent, and he always adds enough abrasiveness to his comments to assure that his victims spool up like a jet engine. Always a pleasure to read, even if one disagrees.
poohbah: Pooh is an amazing clear-thinker untainted by too much zealous ideology. Frequently his posts are a welcome breath of sanity on emotionally overheated threads, and he's not afraid to voice an opinion which might be counter to the "prevailing winds" of a thread.
archy: The best source on FR I've found for weapons and firearms information, pics, links, and historical information about same. I thought I knew a lot about guns, then I met archy. Not to mention, he is a perfect gentleman and has enourmous patience with those who know less than he. A great FR resource.
PatrickHenry: The ringleader of FR's evolutionist band of brigands, PH posts some wonderful scientific articles, and he and his lads and lassies, most especially Ichneumon and Vade Retro can provide what seems like thousands of links and evidence at the drop of a fossil. Many's the night I've watched them, over many hours, demolish nonscientific arguments and educate those who wanted to be.
Modernman: A libertarian-leaning legal eagle who I've watched defend the principle of individual liberty with good humor and impeccable manners in the face of flames that would make Godzilla proud, MM takes everything thrown at him and never seems to get angry. His debating skills are an example of how to win one.
MurryMom: One of the very exclusive club of hard-core Leftists with the tolerance of the famed and feared FR Moderators, MurryMom can be counted on to cause an instant spike in all FReeper's BP. As FR's resident liberal punching bag, her presence on a thread will attract many people who really don't care about the thread itself, but who line up to hurl abuse at her. In that, she performs a valuable service...as a target and a venting mechanism.
These are just a few of mine. There've been others, some have been banned in fact. IMHO, in most cases we are all the poorer when that must occur. FR is made so much better because of its more colorful members.

You certainly started a good thread. We all needed some Friday fun and relief from a harrowing week.

Great thread. Some of these names really take me back. Say, what ever happened to that Rivero fellow who always thought everything was a conspiracy? Haven't seen him around for a long time.

To: firebrand; Tabi Katz; hellinahandcart; sauropod; el_texicano; mrobison; SJackson; Yehuda; ...
This is a long list and I *know* that I'm invariably going to forget some wonderful people, so I'll blame it on being tired and not feeling well...
Anyway, *some* of my absolute favorites are:
firebrand: Perhaps the most dedicated, passionate person and activist who does more for FR and conservatism than most people know - and is truly a great friend
tabi katz: another great friend. If anyone is more pro-Israel and anti-Clinton than I am, it's TK
hellinahandcart: one of the funniest, smartest (and wisest!) people I am honored to know
sauropod: among many other reasons, for teaching me to refer to people like Nurse Bloomberg as a "picknoses"
el_texicano: one of the nicest and most interesting people, with more in-depth knowledge on a variety of subjects than most people I know -- and the kewlest accent ;)
mrobison: for being so patient at that altar ;D
SJackson, Yehuda, Alouette, dennisw, Slings and Arrows: for all the great Israel/Middle East posts
dubyaismypresident, Dan from Michigan, Rika Strom, Gabz, Tioga, Constitution Day: What Happens at CPAC Stays at CPAC! ;D
Conspiracy Guy & Laura Earl: My favorite FR married couple :)
Robert A. Cook, PE, Texan5, xsmommy and the rest of the WFTD crew: Yes, I'm know I'm a truant, but I can't always get up that early! ;)
Oschisms: One of the coolest guys I know :)
freedumb2003: Wanna see if we can get this entire thread deleted too? ;D I'm glad we're on the same side now!
lavrenti: Another cool New Yorker -- never fails to make me laugh *and* think -- and is always in my neighborhood. :)
alisasny: For the best accent - and for planning and putting together the NY/Tri-State Holiday Party two years in a row!
TheBigB: Whenever I see your name in a thread, I know I'm either going to learn something new or laugh myself silly...or both!
Physicist: You probably don't know me, but I think you're one of the funniest people here. In fact, you made my all-time favorite post nearly 3 1/2 years ago: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3a17378f319c.htm#6
Registered: What can I say that so many others haven't said? I'm glad I got to meet you at CPAC! :)
JustAmy: For her poems, pictures and being one of THE sweetest people!
Senator Pardek: Because...uh...because...he just sent me a large sum of $$$ via PayPal to say something nice about him! ;D That, and his esoteric sense of humor...it's the reason they keep him here.
Jim Robinson: For making this all possible!
I know that as soon as I hit "Post," I'll remember a bunch of names and will probably add more later. :)

The list would be long. SamAdams76 would be toward the top. Just the screen name makes me thirsty. Joe 6-Pack would be up there, too.
To: Long Cut
This thread has brought back a lot of names I recall from my lurking days. I lurked for a long, long time.
I miss the days of A+Bert,quidam, Clinton's A Liar, Iowahawk, sneakypete, In the Huntrgren Forest (before he was outed)etc.
Too many current to name.

The only name that sticks out to me right now is Protagoras. Always seems to pop up on the same threads and on the same side of the issues as me.

I am so honored that you all think of me as one of your favorites!! Bless you all.
I have so many I enjoy, but I would have to say my absolute favorite is the founder of FR...Jim Robinson!! Thanks for such a great place to get together and develop new friendships!!

My favorites are Cultural Jihad, his screen name is so catchy and in discussions his intellectual depth is evident. Also Floridah_Voter for all the work s(he) does on behalf of Terri Schindler Schiavo. She doesn't just post on the message board she goes out into the streets on behalf of Terri.
