Given the carping and nasty nature of FR as of late, I thought it might be a good time to see the more civil and gracious side of participants. Here is a thread for just that purpose to edify, encourage, and thank.
Ever wanted to thank that unsung FR hero? Agree or disagree, why not tell JohnHuang2 or Registered how much you appreciate their skills. And can you imagine the many hours Alamo-Girl puts into her work? Perhaps you appreciate how well the folks over at Word For The Day wield their words. Or maybe you just want to tell WIMom and her gang that youre sorry for all your unkind words about the recent Freepathon ads, and thank her for all her hard work on that. Maybe you are an FR Radio fan. Well, you get the idea.
What this thread is NOT for: complaints against the management, flaming those you disagree with, bashing the current administration, leaving your opus, whinning about someone being banned, criticizing FR spelling, grammar, or sentence structure, calling out newbies (unless they are disrupting this thread, of course), shilling for your candidacy, carping about a particular regular thread. Well, you get the idea.
Freep on ..
P.S. No, Im not fishing for compliments. Ive already been called every name in the book here on FR, and toothless hag is still my personal favorite.
I am not good at this stuff....shucks!
I won't cry a tear,
Or have haughty heart,
As long as you're clear
On the naughty part.
JohnHuang2, for great finds and even better commentaries
dead, for day-to-day brilliance and lots of laughs
Lazmataz, for making me laugh, regularly
Dales, for fascinating insights
fporetto, who consistently writes things that I wish I had thought of
Cincinatus' Wife, for fighting for principle re Cuba
sakic, the best devils' advocate on the board
MurryMom, for providing an endless supply of straw men to thrash
Valin, for posting the best stuff from the People's Republic of Venturastan; and
JimRob, for making all of this possible.
Poohbah, JasonC, Doughty One, Common Tator, dighton, sinkspur, Miss Marple, and of course Nick Danger.
All of them always have something interesting and stimulating to say, even when I don't agree with them.
Thanks back at you! It's always fun.
I don't usually start drinking until 4pm or so ; )

WHAT??? Oh, we are SO going to meet now!
a hearty handshake and a pat on the back from me for a great idea for a thread
Thanks to ALL of you. When I happened on Free Republic - purely by the Grace of God, I'm sure - I let out a huge sigh of relief.
I admire Miss Marple, Howlin, MacGavin999, JohnHuang for having the gift of debate and articulation. Thank goodness for these freepers. I am always cheering them on in the background.
I want to thank rintense, Pokey78, and so many others who post the articles that I so enjoy reading. I have webtv, so I can't post articles. Thanks to Jim Robinson for starting Free Republic.
LOL. Well here's hoping she lets you 'cheer her up'
