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.
I second that.
I love that Statement!
LOL!
You should see me when my meds kick in!
Hear, Hear!!
It's great being on Grampa Dave's monthly team and being a part of the Freepathon crew! Thanks to all you great folks!
Yeah, Captain FReeper (TLB) is a-ok in my book.
Careful, the Ithacites are always looking for a chance to claim credit for everything good in the world. ;-)
Please ping me when that happens!
You mean you can top this:

How do I get rid of the "posts" to me once I've read them?
xxxxxxx. You should have Freepmailed me for the answer. You would have avoided all of these ridiculous replies. It's unfortunate when someone such as yourself has a serious question, that results in less than mature behavior, that some of the more grounded Freepers, such as myself possess.
Anyway....here's what you do. First, Log Off. Shut down, and disconnect your keyboard, mouse, and detach your printer cable. Firmly tie the printer cable around your head in a shashlike/Rambo fashion. Disrobe down to your boxers. If your preference is briefs, remove a second pair from your underwear drawer and place it on your head before tying on the printer cable.
Now this is important. Place the mouse cable in your left hand, the keyboard cable in your right. If you are left handed such as myself, simply reverse the procedure.
Proceed to your front door and open it, taking care not to dislodge the cable in your preffered appendage. Calmly walk outside to your neighbors house, firmly planting yourself astride their picture window at a distance no less than ten feet.
Begin swinging the mouse in a clockwise fashion/ the keboard counter clockwise. (if you live south of the equator reverse the motion) over your head shouting loudly, "Posts Begone!!!" "Posts Begone!!!" If you can turn your face beet red while doing this, it will greatly enhance the effect. Continue doing this until you see a vehicle approaching in the distance. Those people with the flashing red lights will be able to assist you.
Glad I could help.
Rumors has it, she is visiting the FR chat room these days ;-)
He IS one of a kind isn't he...would we be able to take more like him?
Parsy, looks like you have a fan club.
DITTO
And I need to check self search a little more often!!!
And my apologies for disappearing for the better part of a day and missing this entire thread!!!
