Makes a person wonder if FR can remain “free” if by chance it were to have several millions sent as a donation?

What would Jim do if one day he had say $20 million or more in a single donation?

Makes a person really wonder, they say every man has a price.

I don't buy it. I think it would be more realistic to say that most men have a price. I still see the occasional story of people giving away vast fortunes for no other reason than they think its the right thing to do.

Then someone else would start a new one.

Yes, but who are these people? The ones who have sold out, so they say that to denigrate others who haven't, or won't, or wouldn't if not for evil council

If FR changed, then freepers would go to another forum. That's the beauty of the Internet -- it takes relatively little capital to establish a presence.

From my observations of Jim's posts over the past decade, the answer would be a resounding NO that FR would not change! People eventually reveal their norms and standards and themselves thereby their character through speaking, or writing and/or associations.

He's given ample evidence through his numerous writings that he's not the type of person that sells out his principles.
