Good to post alongside you again. I am somewhat puzzled by this JimRob post... which is to say, if FReepers decide the time has come for the FR jig to "be up", JimRob will be the first to know it by the drying up of the donated cash.
If, on the other hand, this thread is merely a more-subtle-than-some-of-the-recent fundraising drives, I applaud the marketing strategy employed.
It gets the message out without the offensive Catholic "donation plate in your face" affrontery, and it plays effectively on peoples' generosity right around Christmastime... always an effective technique.
Anyway, Happy Holidays, Arator! Hope to be seeing you around!

Hey Gargantua! How on earth have you remained unbanished? I saw Pardek and Poohbah hunting you down like hounddogs on a thread not so long ago and I only assumed that they had snuffed you out. I'm glad to see that they somehow couldn't bring themselves to pull the trigger...yet.

Well, I think Jim Rob was hoping to invite the worst sort of AFing behavior onto this thread to gin up and "us vs. them" hysteria and spook the herd into a stampede of mindless reflexive donating.
Unfortunately (for Jim Rob), I think that perceptive FReepers are realizing that us "AFers" are really just FReepers like themselves who have been mugged (or watched their FReeper friends be mugged) by FR's abusive management far too many times and, though banished, had the resourcefulness to maintain contact with our FReeper friends rather than slip quietly into post-banishment oblivion like so many others.
Anyway, Happy Holidays, Arator! Hope to be seeing you around!
Same to you, G!
