In fact, from opus number seven and on, he just linked back to his original to save bandwidth.

I've always been considerate that way. ;^]

Ya gotta be tough to hang with Freepers. Hell, I've had several posts/articles yanked. I didn't like it but I'm still hangin in here.

You are either with the Freepers or you are against the Freepers.

East Bay,

If you check out Smirking Chimp (Lib humour site) or Free Britannia (MadIvan's site) you will find both have very slick message boards.

They both use the same free software which you can download by clicking on the link at the bottom of the board.

Or if you are a complete technophobe, just visit the message board on my site which uses basic Network 54 free software. You can have it up and running in five minutes.

Best wishes, JJ.

Gee everythiing in life better go my way or I'll just quit. Being rigid and taking things that don't go your way personally is no way to go thru life. I'm pretty sure Mr. Robinson didn't actually kick you in the teeth - pulling a thread is the equivalent of a sneeze. Be tough not silly.

I have had my feelings hurt a few times here, too, and have also vowed to never return. But I find myself lurking anyway. First, the majority of Freepers are courteous and intelligent. Also I enjoy reading all points of view which gives me perspective on what we Americans think and care about. Just hang in here and be tough-skinned.

Your post to Carol is confusing. In your post # 28, you clearly stated you wanted to start your own forum, went into how you would run it, and now you are complaining that Jim says go for it, and even gives you advice on how to do it?
Please reread #28, and if there is something there I misunderstood, then accept my apology and I will get my eyes examined, because clearly they are playing tricks on me!

"I for one think A+Bert has been on banned long enough (this round)"

Was A+ banned, or was this a self-imposed in the cager in the basement?

You know, I could understand this kind of whining if you contributed any sizable amount of money to FR. But if you're just a Freeploader like myself, I don't think an opus thread is even justified unless you're about to die or go to Afghanistan or something like that.

BTW, JimRob, someday, when I have money, I'll contribute.

Personally, I've never used the words "Towel head". JimROb is also aware that permitting the use of the "N" word would not go unnoticed by the socialist media. It is also evidence that JimRob does not tolerate racism either in his personal life or pn his forum. Besides, what useful purpose is served by using the "N" word as it applies to this forum? There is none.

[Teacher317]

Thick skinned? Take it as well as dish it out?! Moderated, by people like my ol' buddy A+Bert?!?!
Jim, why didn't ya tell us this earlier?!
Jeez, I can't wait! Now THAT sounds like MY KINDA PLACE! I'll never have to come back "up front" and disturb the "normals" again!

MAN, you're a hypocrite! In post #116, you whine about to starting a new forum even thought Jim Robinson is helping you out with free advice and software, you whine about how hard it will be to find 5000 posters, and you whine about how it will take time to be the Admin, you whine about how 'lucky' Jim was to start FR (totally false assessment, BTW)... then you jump for joy when he does all that work for you... and you have the nads to say that you want to get AWAY from the whiners?!?! You sound more like my 8th graders: Gimme, gimme, gimme. YOUR forum MUST be the way I want it! If I don't get my way, I'll pout to anyone who'll listen. Then when I get what I want without having to do any work, I'm a happy little camper again. It doesn't sound to me like you could hang with the big dogs in the BackAlley, you A+bert wannabe!

Jim, shouldn't you pre-emptively be kicking EBP out of the BackAlley? ;^)

[eFudd]

Racism = treating one person better or worse based solely on their race.

Dis-allowing the "N" word and at the same time allowing towel head is a racist policy.

I do not think Jim is racist anymore than you do. From what you said it does seem as though in his effort to appease socialist media he has adopted a racist policy.

RJayneJ, if this has not been a QOTD or QOTW, it is certainly deserving.

[RJayneJ]

Thanks for the nomination! };^D)

[avg_freeper]

I'd say it lacked Gravitas.

Oh, and it was a little to Jingoistic.

[Teacher317]

C'mon. Hit me. I'm ready...

I can't... I'm laughing too hard and smiling too much. The little additions to your post about grammar etc were too good. You're right, you're PERFECT for the BackAlley, and that post proves it. Well done, sir! I salute you! (And, hopefully, I'll be in the mix with you there from time to time, to see if I can't beat that last post of yours as a return volley. Right now, I have to yield to the superior performance... but only for now...)

Call me a sycophant for JimRob if you will... I'll probably take it as a compliment. I don't get excited about sports figures, politicians, or entertainers... but that 'average Jim' from Fresno starting a simple little discussion forum that becomes THE place for a significant political spectrum is something worth admiring... and I think it's incredibly cool that you and I can be in on it with a few mouse-clicks. Thanks again, Mr. Robinson. *fawn*
