Good morning everyone! Since it's a little slow this morning, I thought I'd put in my two cents about the "unhappy camper" who complained about our live thread last night. I've only been a FReeper for a short time, compared to most of you, and before the war began, I ALways went to the "breaking news" thread--several times a day. Once the war began and the situation room live thread was started, this is the FIRST place I go in the morning (and a zillion times throughout the day & night :) This war has been stressful for all of us, and I see nothing wrong with our "chit-chat" during the slow news times. Also, I might add, this particular thread is what inspired me to become a Free Republic donor -- I enjoy this thread immensely, and I hope it doesn't change just because of one person's whining. THANK YOU all for making this war a little less stressful, and more bearable. Keep up the great work! You all rock!!!

I second this post! I too have been here a relatively short time, but it has quickly become my favorite place to be!

It is a great combination of information and silliness that takes the edge off of the stress of what is going on in the war.

I check this place out first thing in the morning and then again as soon as I get home, sometimes not signing off until bedtime. I am totally addicted!

I see nothing wrong with our "chit-chat" during the slow news times.

My two cents. Chit-chat is great in the Canteen or the like. I prefer most of the posts to be on-topic. Getting off-topic is OK in small doses but it tends to go to the extremes. The whole wanker thing was a great example of drift. Not fatal like a picture brawl but it makes it hard to find the pearls. People used to ping me to the Canteen and I couldn't even read it because of the pictures.

Back OT: Who is yelling on the CBS cam?
