[mhking]

And the crowd goes wild!!!

[Teacher317]

Who else was on the defense team, so that we can send them big THANK YOU's as well?

[Sloth]

we have not admitted to any guilt

The $10G was just a gift out of the goodness of FR's heart?

[Balata]

Congrats, Jim. Life is good.

[Snow Bunny]

Yipeeee ! I am so proud of you Jim. A light in a liberal world shinning brightly.

I have prayed this would work out for you and FR every day since I heard about it.Stress so hard and this had to be very stressful. God Bless you Jim.

Thank you for the ping CoolGuy.

If you had the funds, I'm sure that you would have prevailed in the courts. - The settlement proves that they thought so too, but it is good to have this thorn removed.

Go Jim!

Congratulations, Jim. The Slimes-ComPost, DNC and their associated law firms have been denied in their egregious attempt to shut down an effective voice of conservatism.

That, in itself, is a victory for freedom.

Thanks for fighting the battle.

[What Is Ain't]

This is great news, Jim. Thanks from all of us for standing tall in the face of the beast who would destroy FR.

[brityank]

... we have not committed any crimes or broken any laws and we have not admitted to any guilt.

Outstanding, Jim -- congratulations.
When the hell are you guys in CA going to bounce those socialists off the bench in the 9^th Circuit? I think too many of them were taught under bilingual education and thereby fail to understand straight English.

WhooHoo!!!! Yowie kazowie!(or something like that).
Great news.

[Jeff Head]

Great news Jim.

Maybe this will put to rest the many snipes, doomsayers and critics who wanted to use this issue against you and FR ... but having seen their moodus operenda for some years now ... unfortunately many of them will just find something else to harp on.

Best to just ignore it and keep fighting the good fight.

Again, glad this is behind you and FR.

FRegards.

Congratulations Jim! I'm sure the end of this matter is welcomed, and will allow FreeRepublic to return 100% of its efforts to the original, stated cause of the forum: to root out corruption.

I do remain however, somewhat saddened at the much higher cost that has been paid over the last few years to get to where we are today. I speak of the friendships that have been strained, and ultimately lost. Some really good people who I grew to know and respect have come and gone. I sure do miss Connie and Brian, to name but two. I realize I'll subsequently be trashed by others for mentioning their names, but they were a big part of some of FR's successes. Who could ever forget the Rally for Justice, and Brian's incredible writings on the forum?

I shall always treasure Connie introducing me to Alan Keyes when he spoke at the City Club of Chicago. She personally saw to it I got in, as the security personnel already had my name when I arrived. And Brian's freepmails to me were always an encouragement. I still have them in my freepmail and refer to them when some of FR's "detractors" get me down.

How I sometimes just long for the good ol' days. :-)

Talk about a tempest in a teacup.

Looks to me like FR took a dead-center hit with a Nerf® arrow.

Well, on with the show.

[headsonpikes]

Thank you for your steadfast and continuing work for America.

[Doomonyou]

Good Deal.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Good work, Jim. I squeezed in a few extra shekels for this summer's FR donations drive, so please have a cold one on me.
