It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

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 guys. Free Republic is a conservative oasis in a liberal wasteland. Now that I am no longer active duty, I can start acting conservative. I can speak my mind about the CinC without fear of retribution. (I was counseled several times about my comments during x42's reign.) I can display the CBF on my car without being told to take it off. (The LCPO at my last command was very PC.) And most importantly, I can own a dog! (The Navy frowns on pets onboard ship.)

[Cool Guy]

From Laz, that was a HUGE compliment!

[Focault's Pendulum]

and for all the times you weren't logged on...especially now.

You mean right now???

I would like to thank my two attorney's for not taking my last dime.....you each left me......one.

[Miss Marple]

To all my friends on "America the Right Way," who have beeen my support in times of trial, laughed with me, prayed for my family, argued issues in a civil manner, and have given me good advice. I love you all.

Molly Pitcher, Two Thirds Vote Aye, Guenevere (Guennie)...you are my longest friends on FR, since before the Impeachment Trial. Thank you for your friendship.

To kayak, OneidaM, Dog, illstillbe, Bitwhacker, M Kehoe, ABG(AnybodyButGore), gulfcoast6, Clara Suzanne, lysander, LBQK, jrandomfreeper, Reaganomics...thanks for your support, thanks for your insight, thanks for being friends.

Chairman-December_19th_Society...thanks you especially for your dedication in starting the thread each day, and for your Daily Updates. I know how hard it is to keep a daily thread going, so I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it.

Thank you Jim R. for serving, for this websight, and for being a stand up guy (no pun intended), thanks to Snowbunny and all that put on the freeper USO canteen. And my apologies to any FReepers that I've flamed, offended, been short with, etc.

I don't know about anyone else that hangs out here, I really like this place. There is comfort in knowing that I'm not alone in being frustrated with Gubmint policies and practices. We all need to try to remember one thing, WE ARE ON THE SAME SIDE FREEPERS

[technochick99]

He is typical of pretentious louts

Well that's kinda true, but he would take that as a compliment!

HUGS!!

[BluesDuke]

I appreciate the vast majority of the posters who refrain from turning every disagreement into a flame war and don't follow the example of those who do.

I wish I had said that.

[technochick99]

You have taken on an extraordinarily difficult task. I salute you.

Heck, the whole country outta' salute me. No one really knows how much I keep him from getting overly goofy on FR!

[Constitution Day]

I almost forgot the most important THANK YOU of all.
I lurked for a long time here before finally signing up.
Now I can't imagine being without it.

FR is the best, and in my opinion, the MOST IMPORTANT site on the web!

I salute you both.

FRegards,

Constitution Day

Bout' the way I had you imagined, only wearing a white Stetson and a pair of matching forty fives......oh,.....okay.

I appreciate all those who post the articles we read and respond to, they often inform us about events the main media is still determining if we are mature enough to deal with.

God bless you one and all, it's a pleasure being here.

[Victoria Delsoul]

. . . . .

[Carolina]

Thanks for posting all the weird news that you find.

It makes us feel like we're normal after all (well, comparatively anyway).

[Sir Gawain]

Thank you for your contributions to FR

It's a tough job, scouring the net for the all-important satire articles to bring back to FR so posters can have some enjoyment. It's a thankless job, but what keeps me going is this: Who would do it if Sir Gawain didn't? Who would spend hours, nay, days searching the net for articles that will bring a moment of sunshine into these dreary freepers' lives? Ok, Texaggie probably would, but that's beside the point.

[My back yard]

Hah, and since you've spent two cents of that here, you can't buy a cup of coffee.

[Constitution Day]

Back at ya, buddy.
Have a good weekend - I'm outta here!

[deport]

Isn't this a fine howdy-do and many thanks to each of you for your thoughts, kind words and dedication to trying to get the truth out...... to be honest I'm also thankful for all the Bush Bashers here as they give the world that reads this forum the opportunity to see what the opposite side would prefer. It really defines the choices.

[glock rocks]

one more time... they're not aggies

they're agro-americans.

[My back yard]

Thanks to the hostess and host of the Belvedere Room. They are there every day, and still make it seem so fresh.
