That certainly is what you are hoping.
And the whole concept of a fundraising thread combined with a celebration of the departure of people we have known for up to a decade is a little unsettling to me. I think this is a first for FR.
Give us all a break, will ya?
The Rudyphile trolls have been directly and openly threatening Jim's pocketbook for months now, as they mouthed off on the way to the door.
Do you want FR's budget to be hit by the departure of these traitors?
Gumlegs homepage is clearly an opus.
I hope he chooses to stay, but it’s up to him. I doubt if that homepage is going to allow him to stay. It is an opus. Your post to others is misdirected.
This isn’t a fund raising thread. Read Jim’s original post.
As far as people getting banned, many of them have basically asked for it. The posting guidelines are clear. The consequences of violating them have been made clear for almost a decade. Anyone who continues to violate those guidelines knows what’s coming and have no one but themselves to blame.
It's the first time I've seen a lot of things here.
The first time I've seen such disrespect from a Freeper directed at JimRob.
The first time I've seen someone offer JimRob money if he would ban someone else.
The first time that someone as liberal as Rudy has been supported on this conservative web site.
And I've not seen so many personal attacks (from both sides) being permitted by the Moderators.
Yes, it has been a series of firsts for me.
