Honey, not vinegar, Bill.

All he'd have had to do is tell everyone that hot chicks with bodacious tatas were out there.

Actually, this is quite often true, especially when the College Republicans and Young Republicans come out with us; not to mention our stellar collection of mature beauties.

Shhh, Laz, I don't want to draw guys who are there to compete with me for all the gorgeous babes. :)

Appy, I was hoping that I put enough honey in there to disguise the vinegar. :)

Seriously though, I was away and didn't put any vinegar on these threads for weeks, but the honey put on the thread by others didn't draw a marked increase in FReepers attending. What enticements, what honey would you suggest that I offer? There's free pizza most time, free because several of us kick in the bucks to buy for the rest.

Although I always want more FReepers to attend, I'm incredibly proud that FReepers, Protest Warriors, and other allies have outnumbered the Pinkos at least about 50 of the 67 FReeps. When we started, I never thought that we would ever outdraw them in the liberal bastion of DC. We've rocked the Pinkos' world and have the anti-troop hate group completely flummoxed as their Walter Reed pysch-op fails miserably, leaving them in a total quagmire.

I've tried this tactic and that to motivate people to attend. The below is not intended to classify you, AppyPappy, or any other FReeper for that matter. People can classify themselves, but I just have to vent about this.

There are three types of FReepers and they know who they are.

There are "real world" FReepers (RWF) who say that something should be done about this outrage or that and then they personally will do something to counter it.

Then there are FReepers who say that somebody should do something about this outrage or that and they wish someone (else) would do some direct action. I'll call them "Some Else" FReepers (SEF).

SEF often offer greatly appreciated moral support and helpful suggestions, such as clever and funny sign ideas, to RWF. Some of SEF are great people contributing in all sorts of ways other than direct action. Some have medical, employment, family or distance from events making it impossible for them to become RWF.

A third and final group of FReepers, non-constructive FReepers (NCF), comment on an outrage or simply the RWF efforts with sarcastic, derogatory, petty, or other non-constructive criticisms of our signs, our recruiting efforts, our tactics, etc. Hell, one even told me online that the dedicated FReepers, standing in mid-day humid 90 plus degree heat in full sunshine to protest Hillary, were dressed too casually. (NCF does not include somebody who says something like the signs need larger letters or more contrast or other positive, possibly helpful, critiques.) The non-constructive comments often (usually?) are from people who never tried to organize or even attend a real world FReep. The non-constructive replies from these NCF non-doers aren't worth the paper that they are written on.
