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 youre 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, Im not fishing for compliments. Ive already been called every name in the book here on FR, and toothless hag is still my personal favorite.
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.
In other words, hot AND intelligent. My, my...
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.
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.
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.
