Thank you for your question.

I have a website and podcast that I produce every Monday to Thursday. I am trying to return to the medium that I love so dearly. Please understand, Free Republic is a forum I have a great deal of respect for and would never abuse. I would sooner remove myself from this forum, than to ever use it as a means to profit in a nefarious way.

In the past, on my WRKO show, New Republic helped me and accepted me when I was just learning about the dynamics of the news/talk format. The members of this forum gave me an education I needed desperately and benefited from. I honor and cherish that education.

If in any way my presence is not welcomed, I understand. I do not wish to use Free Republic. That would be against my better judgement and principal. Please excuse me if I gave that impression in any way. I only wished to inform those who did enjoy my show, that I am back and trying to fight the good fight. I owe them and you (This site) everything for my success in the past.

Thank you for accepting my membership.

Stay Well,

Reese On The Radio

Although your reply is addressed to me, I know there are several other FReepers who will be interested in reading it. They are therefore copied on this ping.

In reading your response, the first thing that jumps out is whether you meant what you wrote here:

"In the past, on my WRKO show, New Republic helped me and accepted me when I was just learning about the dynamics of the news/talk format

If you expect this forum in any way to emulate experience you had with "New Republic" then I fear you're in for a real shocker.

If that's a typo, and you are referring to this forum, then what exactly was your past experience? Did you post under a different screen name? If so, please let us know what it was, so that we can get some feel for your history.

If you are, in fact, Reese Hopkins, then you are fully aware that there's a lot of negative "stuff" out there about you. How do you address the past events, and what is your current legal status?

It's not up to me to "accept your membership." That's something for the Moderators and Jim Robinson to pass judgment on. I'm just asking questions that I'm sure are on everyone's mind.
