Hiya, Harry. Welcome back.

I really don't believe that needs an explanation. What about it don't you understand? Clarity posts that he's leaving and the moss-covered-rock dwellers IMMEDIATELY show up on the thread.

"Cue" is an entertainment term as a stage or camera direction for the talent as well as camera and stage management. It's not very difficult to anticipate the "cues" from the players in the melodrama from the dark side.

Need anything further, or can I go out for the evening now? LOL

"It does kind of make one hear "Time to take your meds..." echoing in the backround, doesn't it?"

Well, since you asked -- YES! LOL

Gotta dash. C-ya.

I think sometimes you and others expect too much from the Forum. I think of it as a garden...you'll always have a few weeds, bugs, rot...but if well tended, a bounty at harvest time.

I think your garden analogy is very apt. A GOOD gardener tends it carefully, gently, with loving care, making sure to extract only the weeds so that the good plants might bear prodigious fruit. A BAD gardener hacks at his plants indiscriminately with a meat ax, felling many good plants hoping to get at the occasional weed. A REALLY BAD gardener makes war on the weeds by torching everything growing, weeds and healthy plants alike.

Having witnessed many a good fruit-bearing FReeper plant get yanked out of the garden and treated like some noxious weed (not to mention many a fruit-bearing thread), a little GOOD gardening is definitely in order.

Freerepublic has become a major part of my daily life since I joined up. I met my very best friend whom I adore and I love the news. If freerepublic goes away, my life would be out of order.

As soon as we get around to deciding if they are worth it...heheh.

THIS THREAD WAS WORTH IT. NOW THEY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT. Wait of course they will. They will fight and attack their own sites and posters. LOL

I believe we're on the same team... I just find some of the issues Arator and others are more to the point of what FreeRepublic is all about. I for one get sick of seeing some turning this site into a dating service, recipe exchange, and/or any other silly vanity page.

Many of us have not heard from him since, and are thrilled to run into him again.

You act like you are one of us; you are not.

It's an old timee FReeper thing. If you last as long here, one day, you'll understand.

Fortunately, it won't take that long to get your number.

"Go to the start tab, and click on the links to the other web sites. The answers to your questions will be found there. Look over the Talkspot information."

You can't be serious.

I actually did exactly what you asked; I went to the Website whose URL you provided, and as God is my witness, I just spent hours over there.........digging through thread after thread after thread after "archive" after thread.............and you know what I saw, TKE?

Just another load of whiny, vicious, nasty people commiserating with one another about "what a crook JimRob is" (although he's usually given another, just lovely monicker), or "FR's fleecing the sheep again!!!", or "FR will be gone next month!!", or the latest "Those morons don't know that FR was slapped with a million dollar judgment on behalf of the LA Times and the Washington Post!! HA!!!Ha, HA!!!", and other glorious pieces.

Oh, of course, there are the usual suspects, including Eschoir in all of his fat, slimy glory..........the one sumbitch I've run into on this forum that I'd LOVE to meet in person some time.

I took you up on your offer, TKE, and I did it in good faith and gave it FAR more effort than it deserved. I stuck with the filth to be able to "look you in your eye" here and tell you that anyone who would spend that much time on a Web site dedicated solely to attacking another Web site............yep; say that out loud and hear how incredibly childish it sounds..........is incredibly pathetic.

You want to make your point, TKE? You and the others? Post FACTS. FACTS. Hard-core FACTS; proof of malfeasance, or waste or abuse or SOMETHING............anything that someone can take at face value and then act upon.

Until you can do that, you can have your little playground over there.

I suddenly feel like I need a shower.

Indeed.
