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.

LOL!!!! I love it!

[Roscoe]

Ditto.

Here is a compliment: chookter is A-OK.

We met this morning and shot the "Second Freeper Postal Match" at my local rifle range. Not only is he a good shot (better than me!), but he is an all around nice guy.

I can only think of a couple of threads that we have "sparred" on in the past, and the result of one of them was the fact that he coined the term "talibornagain" to describe me (I wonder if he remembered that? He didn't seem to let on this morning!). As a result, things got a bit heated in our online exchanges.

However, like every other Freeper that I have met in person, he is a really great guy, and the type of fellow that you would want to "watch your six" if things got hairy.

Thank you. The tech/space discussions are one of the reasons that FR is my favorite site.

[William Wallace]

Thank you kindly xsm. Your support and friendship have meant a lot to me.

[Brett66]

I've enjoyed many of your posts and have learned from them.

[illstillbe]

Same backatcha ... tenfold, my dear friend.

[Texaggie79]

We are each other's backup, in case on of us gets booted :-P

[Sir Gawain]

Plus I have those backup screen names. No one will ever know it's me. Sir Gawain2, Sir Gawain3, Sir Gawain4....

[TomServo]

I'd just like to say this. 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.

Thanks Tonk!!! I must share this with you and all. The other day I stopped into Home Depot to get more flowers, etc and see my girlfriend. As I entered the building in my whites (uniform) no less, a woman stopped me and said " Ma'am, you look very outstanding in that uniform. She then proceeded to shake my hand and say "thank for all you do." Gosh, I had the goosebumps.

Been busy even though kids gone. Forgive me for not replying alot. I do check daily. Right now we are gtting lotsssssssssss of rain here in Jax. Fl.

No - thank you Howlin. You're one of the few here that keep me thinking before I post. I won't say what Riley1992 keeps me thinking of, but it involves a French Maids outfit. That and Polka-Dot Dresses...

[VadeRetro]

And my compliments to you, Sir!

[Texaggie79]

And Tom can go around repeating everything people say

[JulieRNR21]

Thank you all for your dedication to our Free Republic and for being a Freeper Friend to me!

You have inspired me, educated me and made me smile!

[TomServo]

And Tom can go around repeating everything people say

If I did that - I'd be banned. :-)

I compliment Jim and John for the continuing upgrades of the software. Especially enduring all the nuts and cranks (including yours truly).

And massive attaboys to BADJOE and his spousal unit (sorry, not sure how to spell willa) and all the Freepathon stalwarts.

[glock rocks]

I love you guys

[don-o]

Not sure of the spelling, but I have not seen her on the board for a while.
