I think many of us come here for some fellowship with like minded conservative allies and it makes us happy to see that we are not alone.

But, over the years I have noticed something that seems amiss to me, which is the lack of responses to people who have expressed their opinion.

Many is the time that I see a comment to which no one has replied; a situation in which no one responds to a Freeper who has expressed an opinion.

I think most, if not all of us, would likely enjoy an acknowledgement that people have read our comment and agree with it, or even that people have read it and disagree with it! (So that we can have an argument, which is something we contrarians tend to enjoy! :) )

I urge people to respond to comments from other Freepers, especially if that comment is directed at you. I encourage Freepers to acknowledge the people who have posted a message to you, because we all want to believe our opinions matter and are worthy of consideration.

At the very least give them a "+1" (which means "UpVote") to indicate you've read their comment and agree with it. A more thoughtful reply is even better!

Let people know you care what they think and are not indifferent to their existence.

Not only should this boost the amount of traffic on Free Republic, it should encourage a happier more pleasant experience for all participants. It may even lead to more people wanting to join Free Republic!

I agree. I try hard to acknowledge people who have replied to me, it’s a kindness and a courtesy even if we don’t see eye to eye on a particular subject.
FR is still the best place to get a big picture of things from across the country and world.

LOL! I’m responding so you will feel better and have a nice rest of your day. 😊👍. It is nice for someone to acknowledge comments and opinions we post. But, as mrs rktman reminds me frequently, some folks don’t “get me or my comments”. Its a curse I guess.

The intelligent ones will figure it out.

I agree. I have been on a lot of other websites, but many of them don’t have the same back and forth in discussions I see here.

I love my fellow freepers.

To the point of being swollen and engorged.

Good Advice (imho). Reminds me of my failings. I’ll attempt to do better.

Well thank you!

Well I don't share your experience. Everyone always gets what I'm trying to say, and they always agree with me!
