That's because you only got here last month; the internet is filled with sites who repeatedly say just that. dakine was kind enough to post the truth, leaving out the vile things that are spread by people who have a grudge against this site.
On one Freepathon thread, I posted "Pay to play" to the people on my ping lists; since then I have been accused of being in on "the plot" with Jim to fleece all the rest of you. And I mean repeated postings of it.
See what we're dealing with here?
Ick. That gives me the shudders. Some people's children, I guess...:(
BTW .. is that loser still posting to himself???
I've never understood the whining about FReepers being "fleeced". I contribute quarterly, and see with my own eyes every day what I am paying for. Obviously I think my money's well spent or I'd stop contributing. Even if Jim was profiting a million bucks a quarter running this place, SO WHAT? We all buy stuff everyday from companies whose senior executives are getting paid loads of money to run those companies. Why aren't the whiners whining about McDonald's and Starbucks and Sears and Home Depot and Holiday Inn "fleecing" their customers?
Jim and his family are personal friends of mine. If you say something deragatory about Jim, we're gonna track you down.
While he beats you with his cane, I'm gonna kick you in the shins with my spurs!
Thanks for posting this, dak.
It's a good education for the newbies.

You mean you're not ripping anyone off, Howlin? :) Just kidding!
Thanks for posting that. Being new, I hadn't read that one yet. It was interesting to find out.
