I'm not sure what is going on???

Keep up your posts, and of people dont want to read them, they can skip over them.

What's with the free speech police on this?????

[Enterprise]

What? You quit Posting? No WAY! BALLS TO THE WALL! Full speed ahead. And three sheets to the wind!

[Grenada]

Plese, please don't stop your posts. They contain a ton of infortmative links! Thank you so much for your service as a vet and your continued service with your mission to educate gen Xers like me about kerry, the Vietnam war, and the horrific treatment Vietnam vets encountered when they returned home, in no small part because of kerry. You are contributing valuable information. Please ignore the posting police/hall monitors. Please continue to educate this Vietnam neophyte. Thank you for your service!!!!

Hell, I thought you were just about to hit your stride.

SCREW 'EM!

Electrons are free and infinitely recyclable.

[Rocky]

I don't get what the complaint is. If I don't have time to read your post, I scroll past it. Where's the harm?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

You just don't get it.

Don't you think the dims and media come in?

Don't you think they can't see my post?

I shut up for over 30 years and you still want me to shut up.

[exhaustedmomma]

You're not "allowed" to commment? For some reason, I don't see that happening. :::giggle::: The Edwards didn't serve business has been a perfect "silencer" to the YAP I have to deal with in my neck of the woods about Bush didn't serve.

AND, the way I understand it... you can get on or off a ping list by simply requesting it.

[glasseye]

Shut up? You can't handle shutting up!

Do not let the piss ants bug ya!

Your one of the reasons I am here, and THANX!

Don't you DARE stop posting, Tonk! Fork anyone that disagrees and that damn horse they came in on.

Like the one poster said: if they don't want to read your posts, they do not HAVE to.

This burns me up! From the way some Freepers post, I feel like I fell into DU hell.

Keep up the great work, Tonk, and don't allow a certain few to stop you. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Promise me????

Maybe in the future you could put this info on your personal info page and just provide a link with a description to said page. I (and maybe other) would appreciate it.

This isn't my "fight"...but I'm stepping in anyway.

If Tonk were to do that, VERY FEW PEOPLE would take the time to follow that link. You (we ALL) know that FR's being watched FAR MORE than anytime in it's history. I WANT those posts out there. If some lurker, or someone in the MSM trips across them...well, think of the POSITIVE things that can happen!!!

As with any posts, my motto is just scroll on by if you don't want to read it.

[Beaker]

Bah, no complaints here.

Here's a link to the document, the news is that Kerry did write the after action report himself, that recommended him for the silver star. Kerry's after action report

We like megaphones in crowded rooms!

This is a long time practice on FreeRepublic. It's usually in a few threads. But considering the time we are in, I think this is a minor complaint given we are only 54 something days to the election.

If you fear reading others, do a search on "by poster" and ignore those messages on the thread.

I once decided to limit myself on FR and asked Tonkin to take me off the ping list and he did.
I think you should spend some more time, since you are relatively new, to learn some of the practices. This is a forum and if you did use the term "spamming" that is insulting.

[Kryptonite]

Hey, you've loaded one heckuva lot of information into your posts, which I believe is a great benefit to folks who've come over here recently, and a great service to GWB. There are many, many FReepers and lurkers who still don't know the full story about Kerry. In fact, I'd wager that less than 10% of the public as a whole knows all there is to know about his activities during and following Vietnam. Those activities, as well as his Senate record, make it abundantly clear that he pales in comparison to Bush as a commander and leader, and in my opinion, can never be over-emphasized.

[Wampus SC]

It's ridiculous that this should happen. I hardly ever reply, but I appreciate your pings. They're very valuable to me. They're a good source for information that needs to be spread, and might be missed otherwise.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Brit Hume covered Steve Pitkin today.

ONLY after 1 week on FR

[hope]

Thanks for your service, and thanks for the great links you provide! Keep up the good work!

Silver Star After-Action Report Found!

I was checking that one out and it was pulled. I found it interesting! Now, there's another thread about the same thing!

[SheLion]

Maybe in the future you could put this info on your personal info page and just provide a link with a description to said page. I (and maybe other) would appreciate it.

Why don't you just shut up! Your not speaking for ME! I won't allow it!

[Gator113]

Tonkin......I will stand with you. 30 some years of silence is a long damn time.
