This site, to my knowledge, has never been a democracy, or even a representative republic. I have known since I signed up that Jim Robinson has graciously allowed us to play in HIS backyard, even when we misbehave a little.
I have no idea how many FReepers there actually are, but I imagine that 50 is a VERY small percentage of the total, and as I occasionally visit this thread and read some of the posts, I have to wonder....
Just what the hell is all the commotion about?
Some people got spanked. They may or may not get over it. They may or may not be back. This will still be Jim's property, and as a guest of his, I am aware that I should be a gracious guest. I contribute as much as my SS pension will allow, and am grateful as hell to have this place to come to and find threads on just about any subject under the sun, political or not.
Thanks, Jim
Well said.
I predict a lot of oldtimers will reappear.
