It's Compliment Weekend at FR!
None | 6/21/02 | AGYG

Posted on 06/21/2002 9:18:04 AM PDT by anniegetyourgun

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.

Your comments are reciprocated word-for-word, letter-for-letter. The hand of Providence brought us together during a time of shared grief. And I, too, deeply admire your patriotic resolve, and your eloquence, in defending the foundations upon which our republic was laid.

Proud to work alongside you on Jeff's book. Proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you. And proud to call your my friend.

And I would have said all of this even if you hadn't promised me some of your wonderful home-grown tomatoes....honest! :)

To: anniegetyourgun; Darth Sidious; Dan from Michigan; Registered; Texaggie79; OWK; SamAdams76; ...
This is by no means an exhaustive list, so my apologies in advance for forgetting anybody:

Darth and Dan: I hope you two make it in politics someday. More guns and fewer traffic light cameras for all!

Registered: Mad skills with the graphics. Enough said.

Texaggie79: You can criticize libertarians without coming across as bitter and cranky. A useful gift around FR.

OWK: I'll never be quite the libertarian you are, but I respect your logic and consistency against all comers.

SamAdams76: Reading your posts almost convinces me that "common sense" isn't an oxymoron after all. I hope I never have to ask you for sick leave, though :^)

madfly: Somebody has to ping me to threads. It might as well be you.

BurkeCalhounDabney: Arguably one of the best social conservatives on FR IMO. I don't totally agree with your ideas on marriage and supporting a large family on one income, but I won't deny you've done your homework.

Harrison Bergeron, The Giant Apricots: Thanks for your interest and support for men's issues.

summer, palo verde: Probably the nicest women on FR.

JimRob: Thanks for making it happen.

JohnRob: Best forum software ever! [ /reverse Comic Book Guy]

AGYG: Good idea.

let's do it every year on the summer solstice :-)

Great idea. It will be easy to remember.

Annie, this idea was a hit. Thanks much. Happy Freeper Day to you too.

What a GREAT idea Annie - we have a wonderful chapter! Thanks Big Ern, LOL - I'd like to return the compliment by telling you how impressed I am with your truly important ideas: National Gun Purchase Day comes to mind, as well as hosting servicemen during the holidays. And appreciation Publius, for making me more involved in FR than I'd anticipated. Your encouragement has been a great support.

I appreciate those who can disagree with others without resorting to calling other good freepers bootlickers and cheerleaders.

I thank you for saying that, whom/who ever you might be! :)
