I'm laughing so hard I can't formulate a response!
My thoughts as well.
Not the boss? Sure sounds like you wanna be the boss of something?
Maybe an Admin Job, ask Jim.
I hope you kept reading and saw my own shame on that blunder. ;)
I don't work in human resources, never have and don't think I've ever worked for a large corporation by today's standards.
I'm just a stay-at-home mom, quite happy with that station in life. I don't want to be the "boss" of anything on FR... I was trying to help out those "Did you hear what Rush just said?" types of posters by hopefully reminding them FR is much more valuable than what some use it for in the News forums: an online diary.
The links say "Post Article" not "Post Whimsy". :)
I never considered sending this by freepmail to Jim or any of the moderators because I considered the point of writing it as "friendly" and not "critical."
I wrote this because like many of us know, FR is self-policing and sometimes it helps when we help the mods out. We can help them beyond just hitting the "abuse" button by also providing friendly advice. It was my hope that in posting a Vanity - appealing to those who write them directly in the title, I would get their attention. And receive input on if I was incorrect at all in what I have come to consider FreeRepublic.
Yep... it was a good way to get their attention, I thought. :)
And thank you!
Thorough head to toe cleansing followed by confession? ;)
What's the standard? Is it the number of replies or the number of views? ;)
It's funny. I always thought I would appear "rude" if I just posted the link to the original article. Many are braver than I...
And yes I always double check my spelling (or try to) when I say things on "controversial" threads, for fear that what I am saying won't be read if I goof on one word.
Thank you...
you would have to have a majority of electoral posts.
;)

Well you certainly write like all the hr official memo corporate-speak style communiques I've ever read (although maybe it was the bullet point things). Okay, so I'm 0-2.
The links say "Post Article" not "Post Whimsy".
Ok. Here's my perspective. You post an article with a bit of a critique about the way things work at fr. That's ok. But this being interactive and all you set yourself up for comments that disagree with your point of view. I don't mind you posting stuff, I don't mind critiquing stuff, you can critique my stuff (if you ever find it), lots of people have. Anyway the bottom line is to do it at least somewhat respectfully. I'm glad you care so much to write an article. I, uh, still think you should have just sent it to J-Ro, but that's just me.
Certainly nothing personal. Now why don't you just go into the kitchen and make us all up some cookies? Kidding, kidding.
Amen and bump!
LOL!
No worries. I invited critique and criticism. If the first, say 25, posts were all jumping all over me telling me to mind my own, I would've welcomed that.
I have worked in customer service... so maybe if that is a consideration, you're not 0-2.
I did try and be respectful, and helpful, and if it came across differently I am honestly sorry about that. I appreciate everything you said, truly. Another reason I value FR. I get varying points of views on everything from vanities, vanities against vanities, what constitutes news, and what constitutes a blog vs. a forum.
Do you like white chocolate macadamia or semi-sweet pecan? I have a new recipe to try for Anzacs - want dibs on those? :)
Absolutely right. No DU: I saw some of them last week, but just assumed it was for mocking purposes and euphoria.
I probably didn't cut it then. I would guess (without counting, I know.. disenfranchisement)... that at least 1/3 of the posts are mine in response to comments made to me. And another 1/3 is "talk amongst yourselves"...
Shoot.
When will we get the last and final death....the suspense is killing me.
UH, you best read my posts again - I had nothing negative to say about what you wrote; I was responding in jest to another's post... we are allowed to kid around, right? ;-)
Oh, sorry! I just double checked to see why I included you in that response - I see I responded to you in 106. I had 2 tabs open for my comments and i think I included your name on the wrong one - then forgot to remove it when I added it to the correct response. :) ( "response" is the word of the day from the looks of this one).
Sorry for my own confusion :). too much going on, as usual.
(and i came across as negative- ouch!? i need communication classes or something....) LOL
You're fine! I'm a pain - ask my wife!!!
