It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

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 you’re 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, I’m not fishing for compliments. I’ve already been called every name in the book here on FR, and “toothless hag” is still my personal favorite.

To NYC GOP Chick and all other NYC FReepers!!!

First of all, we're just thankful that you're here ..... and secondly, we thank you for the insight you have given us about what it was like to be in NYC on 9/11, the pictures you have shared, the stories you have told.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!

Wow.....your a cheery soul.....whew!!!!!

[xsmommy]

let me begin by thanking you two, among my bestest friends on FR, for coming around on the Elian issue and saying, XS, dang it, you were right and we were wrong and let's be friends!! JUST KIDDING! seriously, i am glad we overcame our rocky start and became friends!

[ThePythonicCow]

Thanks for all you do, rintense.

FR is very slow today. Very slow!!!

I wish I could do something more,
Like give you a good bruise
I think that would help a lot,
It would chase away your blues.

"Now there was a man in dire need of a compliment."

Even his Dog pees on his leg.

[mhking]

Thank you! I'm much obligated....[g]

Not if you pause the VCR a lot.

LOL! Well I haven't gotten to game time yet! But that is what I plan to do -- as soon as I see the orange though, I will probably change my mind! Red is a much better color!

[Constitution Day]

LOL! i am trying to think who i am thankful for and how to say it without gagging myself....;

Being complimentary is not generally in my nature.
Hardened curmudgeon that I am, it's surprising to me that I'm on this thread.
Maybe I'm feeling charitable since it's Friday.

You shouldn't keep kids in the water that long. I'm reporting you to CPS.

[Victoria Delsoul]

FR is very sloooooowwww today. You mean you made me come all the way here and that's all I get?

[Howlin]

Hey, girl. I'm hoping YOU will be picked for jury duty soon! And guess where Howard ate this week -- SWEETWATER!!!! I'm so jealous.

I'll be up there soon.

OPH, thanks for ALL the laughs, not to mention the legal advice. If I'm EVER in trouble, you're MY man.

[habs4ever]

Is this a cheap ploy for attention of your part? It won't work, I'm impervious to flattery from someone that lives in Fire City ;-)Home of the Sabres...oops, the ex home of the Dull Blades ;-)

As long as you still have Irv Weinstein,and Commander Tom, well, there will always be a Buffalo...

Thanks.

[Howlin]

You are NOT that...whatever it was that you said! You are a FOUNTAIN of information!

[xsmommy]

i do not have the entire elianista ping list, but i do want to thank my first compatriots on FR. I had been registered for some time, but never had the nerve to post until i became galvanized on this issue. i lived and died on those Elian threads back during those days. Thanks to all of you!

Being behind enemy lines in Gotham has its perks: The summer girl watching is awesome, for instance. :)

[Sir Gawain]

You mean you made me come all the way here and that's all I get?

Of course that's not all you get. You must have a very short memory. ;-)

[Jemian]

Thank you so much to your faithful service to America, The Right Way.
