The purpose of this thread is to applaud our hosts for this place, and what we like about it. One of the things I do not like about modern USA culture is that people do not properly thank others. It's as if they believe they're giving up something to acknowledge that someone else did something nice.

Running a site is a royal pain in the ass, and time consuming. It costs something to run, and someone has to pay that.

So thank you to the owners, and here's what I like about Freedom4um:

1. No smilies!! I hate those things. I can barely stand to read DU because there are so many people who use them. Why not crayons?

2. No threads calling for government to FIX whatever today's most visible problem is.

What are your favorite things about Freedom4um and how it is run?

What do I like about freedom4um?

No badeye.

No Kossack or DU PC censors.

No posting limits (unless you are a known trash talking shill).

No censorship (unless you go completely insane like Leveller did, or start out completely insane like BAC).

No overriding political agenda.

Great moderators.

Great moderators.

Ditto from me for those 2 points in particular.

As well, 4um offers the opportunity to hear a variety of well-reasoned viewpoints which I may not have considered on my own. Some posters provide a bit more of a left lean than would be my natural inclination and I appreciate that input greatly.

And 4um offers "characters" a place to post their opinions - 4um as the last refuge for characters? - don't laugh - I think that is an aspect of this 4um that speaks to freedom of speech here and what adds "color" to the discussions here - characters who may make me gnash my teeth in frustration at times, but nonetheless they are unique and opinionated and at times quite funny. They've been banned elsewhere but not here.

And 4um also offers a place for meeting familiar soul mates due to an instant connection and though we're strangers it's nice to feel that on any given day or week one can easily relate to some comfy folks, no muss no fuss no hidden agendas, like putting on some old softened leather shoes after a long day on your feet.

Ooops - I think I'm slipping into maudlin mode.

Sniff, that's okay, Scrapper. Me... me too. Sigh.

Seriously, although a lot of hard-hitting stuff gets said, there isn't a lot of personal mean-ness here, either. Most posts start out with "You are wrong, and here's why", instead of "Fuckhead! You don't know your ass from a hole in the side of the mental hospital you drool in!"

Basic civility without a lot of PC crap laded on top of it.
