I've been here a year or two.

The demands of the fundraisers have gone up and up.

While I have no dispute of Jim's numbers as up front, they have gone governmental.

Look closely at the budget. Decide for yourself.

Goodbye.

I think we need a sellers forum where proceeds or at least a percentage goes directly to Free Republic. Myself and plenty of others with an artistic bent are more than happy to promote FR through art.

I agree....FR is valuable. It’s my main source of news now. Why would I expect to have that for free?

[AAABEST]

Pretty lame opus. I give it a “2.”

Glenn, I demand you rejoin FR and then immediately quit again... but with a REAL opus.

Seriously d00d. No ranting, sharp words, admonishments - no nostalgia about the good ol' days and how it's all effed up now.

Just some mild, ineffective complaint about the fundraisers? You can't go out like this man.

Dang! Your lovely post of Melissa Giraldo sent me over here:

which damn near distracted me away from taunting the non-opus opus....

It seems FR has lost disingenuous inelegance.

Boo-Hoo.

Sorry Glen, I meant post 57 for Glenn.

It is true! EVERYTHING happens faster. Especially Tax season. I barely put the crap away from the previous Tax year and then it’s start all over again. Worse then a GYN yearly appointment. Damn, I have to do that again!

If Melissa Giraldo is a guy then there is no hope for the world.

How much did you donate this time? How much have you donated over the years? BTW... you don’t even have to donate... but you should. Jim isn’t asking you to pay for it all... he just asks you to donate what you can afford and want to donate... and if you do not donate... he is fine with that too.

No matter where your new interweb may be, please remember this above all else, as so very many are depending on you:

Look carefully -- he hasn't actually quit yet. He just posted some crappy non-opus opus "last post" thread, and told revolting cat! to "piss off". His account is still active. He's keeping his powder dry....

So there's still hope. He could recant, and then really go out in a blaze of proper glory. Maybe even get ZOTTED as a final tribute.

[LibLieSlayer]

Ahhhh... that relieved the stress.

Jim was very clear last quarter that he must upgrade the servers and that he needed more money for that. He said he would split the cost between two quarters in order not to require the whole amount in one fund raiser. I understood that and I pitched in some extra. He said we would go back to the previous amount when he got the servers paid for. So why the attitude?

[Revolting cat!]

Frankly, this sudden and unexpected departure suspiciously coincides with the news producer job opening at the Miami NBC station.

[mnehring]

What do you mean by ‘gone governmental’? This is a business, not a charity.

[Randy Larsen]

That may be some help but you need to work out the details with Jimrob.

Anything is worth a try.
