It's Compliment Weekend at FR!
None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

Posted on 06/21/2002 9:18:04 AM PDT by anniegetyourgun

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.

Thank you all (and any other denizens of the Hobbit Hole I may be leaving out!) for making one friendly little corner of FR comfortable enough to lure this long-time lurker into posting!

After nearly four years on here, it's impossible to single out all of you here who have made me laugh hysterically, made me think, made me reflect, made me cry, made me reconsider, made me angry as all hell.............and made me proud to be an American and a FReeper.

So..........I'll just say "THANK you" to each and every one of you for who you are, what you do, and what you stand up for. God bless you.

It's always with pleasure that I see your name on the forum, sweet lady.
You have been an inspiration to me.
You and our Lord have carried me through some tough times, and for that I'm grateful.
Thank you for being my friend.

Annie, if I can stop laughing long enough, I'd like to say that I never believed that story about you being a "toothless old hag".
I KNOW you're not as old as you look, and you can put your teeth in anytime you want.

So, here I was, minding my own business (something I really need to do more often), thinking that tonight I really needed to get to bed at some sort of a decent hour-- afterall I am adding another full year to the number (way too high already by the way) that I've walked on this clump of rock we call earth, and sleep becomes more and more a need for the old man staring back at me in the mornings when I shave--when I find these messages from you all.

I have nothing but compliments, and gratitude, for the endless source of inspiration, support, knowledge, and passion for Freedom that each and everyone of you brings to this family that is FR.

May we all live to see that shining city on a hill, may the light of Lady Liberty shine on the generations of our generations, and the idea that is America stand firm, under God, and indivisible, for ever more.

Luis

Late seeing this before turning in, Freedom'sWorthIt, but glad to express my appreciation of you. I was SO blessed to have met you in 1998 and to have had our ongoing friendship and shared prayers. You mean so much to many, dear friend.
