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'm glad you didn't call me a JAG Off. That would have made this former Navy line officer VERY angry. Damn Sea lawyers. ;-) You still have a nice BOSON.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Right back at ya! - Hopefully we can play again soon! Happy FRagging!
I haven't played in a while, FR takes all my time, but I do miss fraggin' players!
Louie, you make my heart smile. Thank you for always being there.
Dave, I will never forget how you were out there EVERY Saturday FReeping Condit in Modesto, thank you for your dedication.
Syncro, there will always be a warm place in my heart for you and Dr. Zoo.
Cool Guy, you are one of all time favorites.
CCC, I appreciate your sense of humor so much, you always make me laugh.
Amy, I appreciate you so much, thank you for all you do.
mtngrl, gracie, senorita, your dedication is just amazing. I feel so privileged to know each of you.
Billie, thank you for being such a good friend and for sharing your beautiful artwork with us.
Tonk, thank you for everything you do everyday for our service men and women, you are appreciated.
Jim, it is such a pleasure to know you and to be able to rally with you. Thank you for FR and for being out there with us every Friday waving the flag and supporting our troops. And thank you, John, for keeping FR up and running. :-)
To all those pinged and any I have forgotten, I LOVE YOU MAN !!!!!!!
It is nice to take the time to show appreciation for the friends that keep our time here fun and interesting.
Maybe we should designate an annual Freeper's Day. It could be like any other recognition day, but our cards and flowers will be posted like this:
To my freeper friends:
Love, South
Thank you Mama_Bear and Billie.
You're always there when I need you. You're special, too. : )
I love you all.
But even with the occasional chafing I have come to appreciate your enthusiasm and determination, and to recognize that your viewpoint usually rewards your reader with valuable insight.
Your postings have become a fixture on FR, something to look for here. And you even responded favorably to my opus on journalism! :)
Now what in the world do you see in her? /Large sarcasm off/
By the way Thanx jim and john for making such a great thing possable as Freerepublic.com my second home from an insane world
Thanx to all those great freepers who make this place shake rattle and ROLL ON ....LETS ROLL
