I am sick of the whining about FR's finances.
Free Republic has become the Rush Limbaugh of the internet and all this complaining about who is doing what and profiting thus is making me Ill. It's a circular argument and I am tired of it.
Real Conservatives reward success. We honor it.
As a final end to this:
Would you oppose or favor Mr. Robinson making a profit from FR.

However, I do not take that as an act of unfairness, but a matter of personality differences. What one person thinks is out of line may not be the same as another person's.Very true. In addition, any normal human being is going to be inconsistant on a day-to-day basis, depending on the mood they're in.
But more importantly, from a managerial perspective, "management" needs the flexibility to "tighten" or "loosen" the reins as forum dynamics indicate. There are times when a "crack down" is necessary. Other times it is necessary to "ease up". And if management chooses to publish "guidelines" for the convenience of forum users, it should be understood that management reserves the right to alter/change/ignore/interpret those "guidelines" in whatsover manner management wishes as specific situations arise.
They are, afterall, just "guidelines", not Commandments carved in stone.

Didn't cheer me up? IMO, Jim should be making gobs of money.
To: tpaine
All I wanted was a simple "Yes" or "No" Tpaine..
I am not out to insult you..
Oddly enough.. increasingly I call upon the Libertarians to be the impartial judges here on FR.
They seem to be the only ones not affected by personality cults and thus render an impartial decision..
Ever wonder why I ping you guy's so much?

It is up to the clerks to treat the customers fairly.

I try when I am NOTIFIED. That's the key. A lot of times something occurs and we have no knowledge of the offense. We don't read all the posts or threads, so it virtually impossible to know what's happening on the threads all the time.

Salon.commie had a poll like this just before they started charging a fee.

My usual take on matters such as this is anyone can do anything they want. None of my business.
However, I must violate my principles in this case.
Because Free Republic annoys liberals so much, JimRob should become disgustingly, filthy, overbearingly and so stinking rich off this site that someone has to follow him around with a wheelbarrow to carry his wallet. Let his great-great-great grandkids have free college educations off the money their patriach made poking a stick in the eye of the liberal media establishment.
To: Howlin
Let me rephrase that:
Love means never having to say your sorry.
To: BADJOE

Yes - I think that is what I was saying. I get angry, but don't want to dilute the opinions! I detest the rudeness!

Mr. Robinson should run this site as he sees fit. Whether he makes money or not is none of my business. And if he does make money running this site, how much he makes is also none of my business.

Please don't be defensive.
If everytime you took any action it was explained to the Freeper and to all Freepers if a thread is pulled, you will find yourself held in higher esteem.
