Informal Poll: Should Jim Robinson make money from FR?

Today, don't ask me to be more specific.. | Jhoffa_X

[Willie Green]

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.

[Jhoffa_]

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.

"We get paid nothing. Zilch, nada, zippo…"

…and most of y'all are worth every stinkin' penny you get.

Of course he should make money!!! He might love all us cute little things and love hearing all our witty and wise comments... but how's that gonna pay the rent?

Alisa, when you donate you are supporting YOUR voice alone.

Who would subsidize dissent?

I wouldn't, would you?

[LarryLied]

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.

Let me rephrase that:

Love means never having to say your sorry.

[justshe]

ROFL! Here we are on a "Should Jim Robinson Make Money" thread.........and you have the Admin Moderators "hustling"???? You MAY not live this one down!

[Alissa]

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

[Octar]

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.

[BADJOE]

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.

[Howlin]

I think I stole that from you already!
