It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

Given the carping and nasty nature of FR as of late, I thought it might be a good time to see the more civil and gracious side of participants. Here is a thread for just that purpose – to edify, encourage, and thank.

Ever wanted to thank that unsung FR hero? Agree or disagree, why not tell JohnHuang2 or Registered how much you appreciate their skills. And can you imagine the many hours Alamo-Girl puts into her work? Perhaps you appreciate how well the folks over at Word For The Day wield their words. Or maybe you just want to tell WIMom and her gang that you’re sorry for all your unkind words about the recent Freepathon ads, and thank her for all her hard work on that. Maybe you are an FR Radio fan. Well, you get the idea.

What this thread is NOT for: complaints against the management, flaming those you disagree with, bashing the current administration, leaving your opus, whinning about someone being banned, criticizing FR spelling, grammar, or sentence structure, calling out newbies (unless they are disrupting this thread, of course), shilling for your candidacy, carping about a particular regular thread. Well, you get the idea.

Freep on…..

P.S. No, I’m not fishing for compliments. I’ve already been called every name in the book here on FR, and “toothless hag” is still my personal favorite.

Thanks, as always, for the kind words and support for the D.C. Chapter. We're coming up on our 4th anniversary and would not have been able to do the things we've done without the help and support of Free Republic, Jim, and our fellow FReepers.

We've been blessed to have such great people join us--like the Valentine brothers--who have contributed so much of their time and energy to to protect our freedoms and help turn this country back from the abyss.

Thank you all of my Lounge buddies for keeping me up to date on all of the nico-nazi information!

Actually, I look more like this - with 20 years on her.

In other words, hot AND intelligent. My, my...

[Shermy]

Cheers.

I get the drift about some of these threads lately. But to put into context, check out this thread I put up on June 19. About a dog. And it's still going! Some posters are meaner than a pit bull.

I especially wish to compliment all of the Conservatives, Republicans and Libertarians and all the other peasants assembled for showing such great restraint in resisting the temptation to laud me with praise and gratitude for my wisdom and guidance.

As one of the few Democrats on this board I am but your humble servant and seek only to assist you in your search for truth, honor and great government. You may have forgotten that had it not been for my insight and dedication that sob Clinton would never have been impeached.

Thank you again. Please do not send gifts this year again. I have all the raisins I need.

[kristinn]

My compliments go to the researchers at FR. I've learned so much from their work. The place wouldn't be the same without them.

Thanks to all at Freerepublic who keep the site going. I would also like to thank Summer for keeping education reform information flowing.

[lowbridge]

A BIG compliment to my friend Darth Sidious...thanks for being my friend :-)

[lowbridge]

However the one person I really miss is someone we all loved hating, A+Bert. Whatever happened to the old pain in the @ss, anybody?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

YOU'RE QUITE WELCOME.

[walrus954]

I want to thank summer for being so helpful and nice to me and for being so dedicated to her great Jeb work.

While we're on the subject of compliments -- many years ago I announced to the regulars at my favorite watering hole in D.C. (The Cafe Capri on Massachusetts Avenue) that I was going back to school to get my Ph.D. One of them made the perfect response. "I guess we'll have to start calling you 'Dr. A$$hole' from now on."

On the serious side, I agree whole-heartedly with all the nice comments about FReepers and this website that I've already read -- and also with the remainder of them that I will read after posting this. Y'all are good people, and there's an incredible amount of talent on line at this site.

Thanks lowbridge... you're a real brother, amigo :-) Can't wait to meet you next month at the wedding!

[sistergoldenhair]

Being on someone's list isn't often a good thing.
Thanks for having me on yours. I've learned so much.

[sistergoldenhair]

For many reasons.

Second Amendment dittos to a First Amendment Gal!

Jim Rob - We couldn't do it without you! You are John Galt #1, period.

Rika - Thanks for being there weeekdays at or about 1000 eastern time. Your words are fodder for my cannon and grist for my word mill. Without you I would write damn little poetry.

Slip18 - Thanks for holding down the great southwest.

CyberLiberty -You have an eye for arm candy.

XSMommy - You are the epitomy of Reas Ipso Locutor(sp). I love making you go to your dictonary. What does it take to file a writ of habeas corpus in your court? FReepmail me.

Constitution Day - Winston Churchill said that there are those whom it is acceptable to meet with and those it is acceptable to dine with. I will dine with you and yours at any time at any place. Your choosing!!!!!

One_Particular_Harbour - Is there a higher compliment I can pay a man who took my screen name before I could get it?

Hobbes1 - Lets do supper. Next time you are down at the shore, dinner and drinks are on me, period.

CholeraJoe - My life is in your hands. What higher compliment could a man pay a doctor? BTW - My GP completely concurs with your diagnosis. If you ever pay for a drink within an hour's drive, I'll beat the bartender.

TxBec - You are only the fourth female I have EVER said this to after Mrs. Palm and my two little girls, "You are my SUNSHINE, my only SUNSHINE....."

Keep it up Dubya...

Maxwell - I can think of several targets for your silver hammer. FReepMail me!

CyberLiberty - You have an eye for arm candy.

SeaDragon - You are like a retired sailor. Long time, NO Sea.

Argh - You have GOT to get over this hockey fixation although you are well positioned.

GrimReaper - Let's do lunch the next time you are down at the shore. Maybe I can bring GrimFReaper.

Coteblanche - I have never met you but from knowing CyberLiberty and meeting Slip18, you must be as beautiful as your posts.

Bobby Cook - You are built to last. What else can I say for an engineer?

Everybody Else - I don't know you well enough to abuse you in public but I would like to.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Thanks everyone for putting up with my rants. As you all know, the smoking rights issue is a big part of my life.

And having you all beside me means a lot! Thank you all so much!

[PeaceBeWithYou]

You made my day! ;-)
