It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

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.

My pleasure. Thank you for thinking of me here. And, thanks for your replies on threads! :)

[diotima]

Thanks CG, right back at ya'!

[RnMomof7]

Ping me when we're doing the group hug of EricOKC. :)

I do not do "group" hugs :>)))) But I will flag you when fidelity is discussed..(not by OKC of course)

I'd also like to compliment general_re's vast knowledge and his willingness to share it here,

Ahem, uh, ah, ditto. Nice to know I haven't offended everyone.
And thanks for names - I'll have to track down the ones I don't recognize and see what I've been missing.

I'm too afraid to name people for fear I'll leave someone out but I have a high opinion of a great many of you and hope I treat you all with the respect you deserve.

In fact, I would like to compliment everyone for the courage to post your "nekkid" opinions in the face of the potential flames we all feel burn us at times.

Cheers! May Free Republic last until your children's children's, children are old enough to vote.

Thank you, kayak!

I truly appreciate you and everyone else who was so concerned on that awful day. When I finally made it to my office and logged on, I couldn't believe how many people here -- people I've never met -- cared to know if I was OK.

That, and I also appreciate the tremendous support for Israel and Jews shown here on FR on a daily basis.

[RnMomof7]

Thanks for the fact finding Jaded... there are way too many folks that are to lazy to look for truth..but not freepers:>)

[Brownie74]

Thanks Brownie for showing me how to ping in style :)

Thank you. FReepers love neat FReepers like yourself.

YOU GO GIRL!!

A big thank you for the time you take to read and/or post to threads I start! :)

"(how's that for backhanded?"

---

Not much. -- HERE's backhanded:


"Texasforever - for extreme common sense, and overall being a Good Guy;"

---

THEN , in the next breath you backhand ME, - [ Mr. Nice-guy himself]:

"tpaine - who has probably aggravated everyone who's ever interacted with him, including everyone who's ever agreed with him, but who continues soldiering on nonetheless;"

---

Seriously though, - thanks for the mention.

--And I'd like to congratulate some of the anti-freeps I've crossed swords with in the last years, - roughly in [obnoxious] order:
mojo, navigator; donmorgan; uncledaddy; kevin curry; cultural jihad; roscoe; texasforever.
[this is just the shortlist of those with whom I have irreconcilable political differences; -- don't feel bad if you're not mentioned, -- It merely means you are 'small potatos'.]

--- THEY are what makes FR so special to me. --- Finding suitable opponents in life can be much harder than finding friends.

Absolutely gorgeous bouquet! Thank you much!

[SpookBrat]

You beat me too it. I was going to thank you for all your hard work and your loyalty. You're a great person to know.

FLY YOUR FLAGS...HERE!!!

[Issaquahking]

There has been so many generous people who have helped me at FR I couldn't begin to thank you all for what you have done. Be worse than listening to a first time winner of an acadamy award with a list of over a thousand to thank..........So I'll say you people know who you are,Thanks!
