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.

ROFL! Just like a lib/dem.....arrogant to the end! Glad you're here....

Now I have to compliment your sense of humor to have recognized the tongue in cheek nature of my first compliment.

This is the first place I ever found any Republican with a sense of humor which leads me to believe that you are all really just Democrats in mufti, hiding your wealth and influence whilst regailing similar war mongers and other dirty capitalist pigs at the country club. Now, the Libertarians here do have a great sense of humor, but it's pornographic nature is usually deleted by the bible thumping moderators.

There are actually a great number of wonderful folks here who deserve a compliment or two, but they already know who they are in my book. Either that or they are long dead or banned.

One final point. I compliment the webmaster for reinstating my posting privileges many years ago, even though my expulsion was unfair, arbitrary and solely based on my colorful use of expletiv es when speaking with RINOS.

And, I didn't have to cough up a dime! Take that malevolent joseph not of aramethena.

,,, it's Monday morning here, so the weekend's over for me. This thread is a great opportunity for a foreigner like me to express my gratitude and warm wishes for your friendship. A big "thank you" too for the help you've given me at various times when I haven't been able to work out who's who in some topic or photo; for the laughs we've shared; the synergies we hold so dear. Many of you have been fabulous sounding boards when I post Kiwi articles and that's been encouraging.

A special thank you to Jim Robinson and his crew for running the most magnetic site I know - and to ZCAT from Michigan, who urged me about a year ago to get onto it. I'm hoping I've listed everyone I should have to get this text.

God bless you all.

Best wishes from Wellington, New Zealand.

Thanks to you for preventing so many funkles (or is it funkels?) during the fundraisers. (-:

Thanks for keeping the forum up-to-date on a part of the Muslim world US citizens don't
hear much about.

I'll always be honest with you; I proceed with caution about the Islamicists after 9-11.
But with your accounts, many more people can distinguish the radicals
(Islamicists) that we should view with caution from the average Muslims and from the
even more temperate Muslims of Turkey and other areas.

We may have trouble "learning to trust" after 9-11...it will be an evolutionary process...

Your words and the arrival of the Turkish troops to help with the peace in Afghanistan
sure help.

OK, enough of the "mutual admiration society"...back to the "rough and tumble" of
freerepublic.com!

My compliments to rdb3 for being loud, proud, and yet still maintaining the ability to reach across a divide.

And right back atcha! From our initial head-bumping (I'm sure you remember), now my respect for you and your opinion knows no bounds (even when we still may disagree).

Same here, dude.

I always remember that when it's all said and done, we're still squabbling over bytecode.

Linux is da bomb, by the way! ;-)
