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.

Shucks...

I am not good at this stuff....shucks!

[Sabertooth]

You just want to be naughty
As naughty as can be
So I'll remember
You posted to me. :-)

I won't cry a tear,
Or have haughty heart,
As long as you're clear
On the naughty part.

[Mark de New Brighton]

Good idea. I mostly lurk here, but there are a few posters who I'd like to thank:

JohnHuang2, for great finds and even better commentaries
dead, for day-to-day brilliance and lots of laughs
Lazmataz, for making me laugh, regularly
Dales, for fascinating insights
fporetto, who consistently writes things that I wish I had thought of
Cincinatus' Wife, for fighting for principle re Cuba
sakic, the best devils' advocate on the board
MurryMom, for providing an endless supply of straw men to thrash
Valin, for posting the best stuff from the People's Republic of Venturastan; and
JimRob, for making all of this possible.

Included among my favorites here:

Poohbah, JasonC, Doughty One, Common Tator, dighton, sinkspur, Miss Marple, and of course Nick Danger.

All of them always have something interesting and stimulating to say, even when I don't agree with them.

Thanks for being here so I am not the only heavy metal, tattooed, pierced freak conservative on the board!

[Protagoras]

I'd like to personally thank you for being such an easy target. :-)

[NeoCaveman]

Thanks to riley1992, OPH, dub, xs, and all my SPG buds for making me laugh and having fun with me on some threads that get pulled pretty quick (like the semen thread from the other day).

Thanks back at you! It's always fun.

A little early for happy hour isn't it?......

I don't usually start drinking until 4pm or so ; )

I agree with that list and your sentiments - wholeheartedly.

[Phantom Lord]

I emailed my wife that article. I have been checking her mail and she still hasnt read it!

[Howlin]

Thanks for being here so I am not the only heavy metal, tattooed, pierced freak conservative on the board!

to anniegetyourgun

a hearty handshake and a pat on the back from me for a great idea for a thread

[Isadora Duncan]

Thank YOU for all you do. I enjoy the pictures more than I can say.

Thanks to ALL of you. When I happened on Free Republic - purely by the Grace of God, I'm sure - I let out a huge sigh of relief.

[Howlin]

Bump to your list!

[Sir Gawain]

Hehe, thanks. I've been told that a few times. ;-)

[HELLRAISER II]

That's just what I like to see, a man who takes full responsibility for his actions whether their good or bad.

[BlueAngel]

I totally appreciate you annie, for starting this thread.

I admire Miss Marple, Howlin, MacGavin999, JohnHuang for having the gift of debate and articulation. Thank goodness for these freepers. I am always cheering them on in the background.

I want to thank rintense, Pokey78, and so many others who post the articles that I so enjoy reading. I have webtv, so I can't post articles. Thanks to Jim Robinson for starting Free Republic.

I emailed my wife that article. I have been checking her mail and she still hasnt read it!

LOL. Well here's hoping she lets you 'cheer her up'
