It's Compliment Weekend at FR!

None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

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 am sure i am leaving out classmates and for that i apologize, but i want to thank my pals for the education that they provide me in WFTD class. Love all of yunz guys, ya buncha jagoffs!

I'm glad you didn't call me a JAG Off. That would have made this former Navy line officer VERY angry. Damn Sea lawyers. ;-) You still have a nice BOSON.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Hah! You guys play UT? I played all the time about a year ago (i was an addict) - had some awesome sessions on the lan at work....started falling apart when schedules slipped and things didn't get done in the office. Oh yeah, when we started callin' each other by our UT handles in meetings, it got pretty funny.

I haven't played in a while, FR takes all my time, but I do miss fraggin' players!

The list is longer, but my brain isn't, so........

To all those pinged and any I have forgotten, I LOVE YOU MAN !!!!!!!

It is nice to take the time to show appreciation for the friends that keep our time here fun and interesting.

Maybe we should designate an annual Freeper's Day. It could be like any other recognition day, but our cards and flowers will be posted like this:

To my freeper friends:

Love, South

[Mama_Bear]

cote, thank you so much for the Poetry Branch and for allowing me my place behind the potted palm. :-)

I didn't read a lot of this, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with Texas...

A place where I can come and use my God given and Constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of expression. God bless Jim Robinson and the creators of this Republic. And God bless the heroes of the South during the War of Northern Aggression.

We try to get it together to play together! - Do you wanna be pinged when we are planning a session? Here is the thread where we meet and organize... bump it so we remember to invite you!

Thank you, dear Julie, my friend. You're special. : )

Thank you Mama_Bear and Billie.

You're always there when I need you. You're special, too. : )

I love you all.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

summer, you and I got off to a bit of a rocky start,
and I still don't automatically agree with you in full.

But even with the occasional chafing I have come to appreciate your enthusiasm and determination, and to recognize that your viewpoint usually rewards your reader with valuable insight.

Your postings have become a fixture on FR, something to look for here. And you even responded favorably to my opus on journalism! :)

[anniegetyourgun]

I forgot to thank you for the LIVE THREADS - love that idea!

[JustAmy]

Thank You, Mama_Bear and jkphoto for making the long drive to Fresno to Rally with us.

St.Louie1: Thank you for all the adorable images. You are too easy to take advantage of, but I don't know how I would post without them. LOL

[anniegetyourgun]

I think there is a tie around here for Miss (Mrs.) Congeniality. Maybe there's just something about newlyweds....

[RightWhale]

I would like to thank you for thinking of this thread, and Jim for thinking of FreeRepublic and letting it grow into a virtual cybertown.

[StoneColdGOP]

Oh Christ, I'm gonna puke...

[ATOMIC_PUNK]
