I’m not asking you to support the forum if you don’t think it’s a good idea. Please, if you don’t want to chip in, find another thread that interests you. I have no problem with you opting out.
On the other hand, your post to me clearly indicates one of the problems within freerepublic - I simply stated my concern relating to the level of expense and a possible remedy for the problem. You come back at me questioning my post, basically stating that I don’t think it’s a good idea to support the forum.
Logically, don’t you need to ‘convert’ those that have concerns versus pushing them away - is it not our right to question freerepublic practices prior to giving money? I’m fully aware that freerepublic has no obligation to respond to those concerns. You post to me just seems strange, actually more than passingly strange.
Why not provide a high level recap of income versus expense? I’d be more than willing to consider donating if I understood the numbers. Most posters here a big on numbers.
