Merry Christmas, Jim.
I finally waded all of the way through post #1371 (the latest as I type), and it seems to me the vote is definitely in favor of continuing to being a going concern.
There hasn't been a single substantiated accusation of fraud by anyone...including the banned that are allowed to post to this thread. The questions that they pose about the finances are, in their minds, valid ones. I have entertained questions like these myself, at times. In my case, I realize that it is a compulsion to know something that I don't. I also know that it is not my business as my 'stake' in FR is simply as a contributor/user.
A point that has been raised that does concern me is the 'moderators'. I would vote, that if a thread is deleted; the original article be preserved (not the following posts), no further comment be allowed, and the 'moderator' insert a comment immediately after the article on why the thread was deleted. This may clear up a lot of confusion and resentment on the part of the thread's participants. The posters that caused the thread to be deleted should be named in the 'moderators' comment so that everyone else, that participated on the thread, is not left wondering if they caused it to be pulled.
Just some ideas, Jim.
Regards, as always

As you can see here we don't care and instead should FReep your spew but Good! Wait I do that now.
Yep...FR, Inc. would definitely become part of my portfolio and would be a Long-Term Growth Stock with an unlimited upside. Folks like to find out The Truth, and despite all the Trolls and anti-FReepers, The Truth is the Product that FreeRepublic.com relentlessly provides in droves!!

Care to make a little wager?
I doubt the court system will agree.
The people who run the court system are not known for their computer acumen. They're going to get rolled bigtime on this one. Remember, the court system "didn't agree" on Dred Scott, and how many people had to die to rectify THAT stupidity? ;-)
We had our differences a few months back in reference to my screen name, and someones accusation that my only purpose for participating in discussions was to "fish for hits on my personal website"
I agreed to change my screen name to a less "offensive" one, and I trust that I have participated enough to show that I have no other motives than participating, and andvancing the "conservative" cause....
I will do what I can help you out financially, and I thank you for your service.. no other site on the internet comes close to accomplishing the mission... God Bless.. and Let's keep FREEREPULIC alive
A small "posting fee" is certainly NOT unreasonable....

LOL...you, ma'am, are a Liar, a Troll, and a FRaud and I expect it won't be long before clicking on yer Screen Name will result only in a "The is no FReeper by that name."
Enjoy it while it lasts, Newbie Twit...MUD
BTW...gonna sue me, too, fer callin' you a "Twit"?! LOL!!!
I always had you pegged as a Wise FReeper...)8^D!!

Thanks for clearing some of that up. What about the Fair Use claim prohibits ads? I would have expected it to be more dependent on the nature of the site itself and/or the corporate structure of the company. If FR was a 501(C)(3) non-profit instead of an LLP, wouldnt that make any difference? tia
Your cognition problem continues. My enforcement of our posting rules against personal attacks at that time in deference to JenLart's sensibilities as a member in good standing of our forum hardly constitutes a blanket defense of JenLart. In fact, I agree with you. She proved herself to be a most vile poster. It wasn't long before she fractured into a host of multiple ID'd multiple personalities and was a significant contributor to the troll chaos which was soon to transform a once civilized FReeper Reunion into barbarian Troll Town.
In retrospect, knowing now what I know about her unstable posting personality, I think that JenLart herself was probably the fake Howlin, among others. She is one sick puppy.
Are far as wanting to call you a liar again, you're right.
You forgot the part about you being a fraud.
Yep, I figured as much. And it is exactly that style of posting which made that fake Howlin so hard to distinguish from the real one. ;^)
Thanks in advance!
