We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...
All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.
Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.
Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.
I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????
That's the Easter the weatherman here is predicting rain.

I see post 297 had a comment aimed at me deleted... maybe the author would like to PM me the comment and we'll discuss it off the boards... ; )
haha ! Not to worry. That was me. Can you believe it? Of ALL times for me to do a RARE double post, I do it on the LARGEST distribution ping since I've been on FR ? LOL !! Murphy's Law in action, haha !
I requested that second ping to be 'Nuked', hoping it wouldn't show up in folks 'My Comments' pages. But it did, as a blank comment from 'Unknown' Freeper.
Sorry about that ! ;^)

This thread should be divided up into two sections, FR posters and FR activists. Posters are highly visible, but many of our strident activists, while doing yeomans work behind the scenes, are not always prolific posters. The toil away in somewhat obscurity, performing their service and accomplishing their goals quietly and only rise above the din of Forum posting in after action reports.
My hat goes off to all FR activists and particularly the Chapter leaders who have taken on the awesome and sometimes thankless task of setting up and running chapters, organizing Freeps and advancing the ball for conservatives. Some are highly visible while others eschew the limelight and quietly go about their business making things happen. To those, you're efforts do not go unnoticed or unnappreciated. Thank you!
When I set up the Free Republic Network I gathered together what I believed to be the best and brightest activist oriented members of FR who would be able to work together as a team and make the FRN a reality. You may recognize some of the names but most of the members of our Board of Directors work hard and long, much of the time in obscurity, but their significant contributions have helped make FR what it is today. They deserve special recognition.
Here's to my BOD friends and allies in the foxhole, diotima, Nick Danger, Interesting Times, Minute Gal, The Shrew, abner, Doughtyone, Skeet, Seeking the Truth, Libertina, and past BOD members, MizAntifeminazi, Reagan Girl, Badjoe, Rightonline, and Ironjack. You're continued friendship and dedication keep me motivated, even during the darkest hours.
my favorites in NO particuliar order are:
the warlord & our denmother of the DC chapter,
ALL the ladies on the FReeper Canteen,
ALL FIVE of the FOUNDERS of Second Amendment Sisters (but ONE in particuliar!),
japaneseghost,
varina davis,
SC partisan (my TRUE BROTHER, though we have different parents!),
trueblackman,
ELS,
ALL of the VOLUNTEERS, both "visible" & "oh, so VERY covert", who help me KEEP THE PEACE at rallies,
and last but certainly NOT least, the FRee dixie patriots & compatriots in arms, who constantly fight the good fight for the TRUE CAUSE!
free the southland NOW,sw
Since I am a gentleman, I'd best refrain from sending you that warped Easter card I've been e-mailing around. ;-)
