Do freepers know what humor is??? re: DU donations

[Saphire]

I was just looking at their site and ran across this post

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1633251/posts#comment?q=1

for those who can't (or won't)venture over there, here are a few samples:

10K a month.. Skinner is doing pretty well considering almost every other person there 'on staff' are volunteers.

How about $12,900?

You don't really think that $2000 for "miscellaneous" and $900 for "rent" are legitimate? I'd bet that it's all rolled over into compensation for the joker who "administers" the sewer, err, website.


To: Newhawk
10K a month ain't bad if it's one or even two full time staff members.
I know lots of folks who'd be happy to be pulling down 60K a year for running a low ranked discussion board.

MORANS!!

1. Considering the quality of their site

they don't have a lot of room to bitch.

Maybe they should be looking in their own backyard for something to grumble about.

3. You beat me to it!

They are just jealous of our swell digs and our uber cool administrators... they have neither.

[Conker]

9. Yeah, their forums look like shit compared to DU.

[uppityperson]

2. No. eom

[CAcyclist]

4. Hmm, they clearly know nothing of what it takes to run a business

$900 for rent is darned good. My business rent monthly increase for this year is almost $900 - that's just the increase.

5. hey freeps -- you're low rent trash getting your noses rubbed in it.

6. My favorite

post in that degenerate American-hating hole is this one:

And this post is of interest to FR why, exactly?

I dunno. Preventing responsible law-abiding people who love each other from getting married, destroying the earth you live in, invading the privacy of people you live next door to, and going to war for reasons that turn out to be embarrassing bullshiz is of interest to who, exactly?

For the record, it looks like 1 out of 9 traitors to America actually has a mirror they could hold up to their own kind, if they wished. My bet is on that post getting deleted.

7. low ranked. SNORT!

[Gormy Cuss]

8. Feel sorry for them. One of their own has mislead them.

Their OP avoided mention that there are 3 staffers, not just Skinner, and someone has to pay the employer portion of the SS withholding regardless of whether they are technically employees or consultants. If they're employees, then there are other mandatory benefits (workers comp, UI)that must be paid somehow too.

It is amusing that they are unaware of how much THEIR administrator is reaping from Freeperland. I wonder if he'd be as candid as Skinner?

10. At that rate, Skinner should be cheering about those tax breaks for

the rich. I'm surprised he doesn't ban every thread we start about them, since it threatens his wealth. Next he'll be promoting getting rid of that inheritance tax :sarcasm:

Dumbass Freepers, do they even know anything about money?

[jackster]

11. they only know that money is

what Reagen told them they must get their hands on!

[Fleshdancer]

12. I would pay to be a member of DU if it were required

with a forum this wonderful, I'm still surprised they just take donations here but whatever. Regardless, this is a business, Skinner obviously takes it seriously and he takes care of his "customers" so why not make money?

Do they want Skinner to do this for free? Are they jealous? What's their point? :shrug:

13. the guy that runs Freeperville's name is RimJob?
