So Tom is this the your first time being out of the flock on an issue here? Easy to run with the flock. They will even accuse you of being in a flock for being out of the flock.

Debate is cool, differences of opinions are good to explore. Everyone is different as a result of their culture, location and upbringing. Exposure to those ideas is a good thing. However there are definitely some people on the site that missed the internet etiquette aspect of their own learning. I personally find it simplest to block the users that have very little to add anywhere outside of personal attacks and insults. There are enough people on this site that it seems possible to not miss out on much trapping/outdoor content when you block the people who can’t get through a thread without attacking someone.

I love it when folks are ignored so much people can’t stop posting about them.

Heres the thing,,,its a CHOICE,and to each his own.And thanks to the second amendment,,we have that CHOICE.Me,,Id rather have it and not need it,,than need it and not have it.Also Hobbie,,walk around Baltimore after dark and tell me all the things available to maim and kill the thugs that have guns and knives.Just sayin.

"You have a CHOICE", upstateNY,... Appears by the the way you guys are worried about the election, and being worried about the democrats getting in power and taking away your rights,... that makes them privileges and not rights

Wow did this all of a sudden go sideways? From forum change to gun rights. I believe this is just what the original post is looking at. How do we take the negativity and attacks on people and twist it to this? Think about this guys?

It's wonderful how the world turns Bear Tracker...lol..

case in point

That's such a flockish response.


Good morning Tickturd, no Wooddick, no woodtick.

I've been here since 2010. I mostly read but occasionally post. It seems to have worsened during the 2016 election.

Some of the loudest here are clearly compensating for other deficiency(ies).

Maybe we just need a safe space thread with nothing but virtual hugs and kisses .....

Exhibit A.

Biggest change I see is that the big number serious guys are mostly gone. Bogmaster is one of the few exceptions to that. A lot of truly knowledgeable outdoorsmen just dont post, have been banned, and in many cases don't even lurk.

Basically some of them were banned from this site do to their stand on certain things.

Glad you agree ...


Think about it ..........it would give the hypersensitive a safe place to hang out. And less headaches for the mods

Well you take Canadians, American’s, and throw in a Mexican, this is what you get.

Yes Lefty, you are the Mexican!

Lol

Where do you sign up for exhibit A ?

Have you really been here for 4 years? I have never in my life saw a forum go sooooo off subject as Tman does. It's like a classic Tman trait, lol.

I'm still scratching my head over how a gay post turned into a lengthy debate on the theology of Mormons, lol.

I like tman for trapping info but admit you do get a political update too. Like all news much is on verified but it is nice that we live in a country were free speech is allowed. Main focus to start was for young trappers and education and that attribute remains today.

Water takes the path of least resistance and thus downhill (except the mighty Mississippi ). Possibly the reason some threads take a turn is because of the experience of those that when very thirsty and get a drink from the creek, its best to go downstream from there, if one goes up stream he could be sickened by what he sees.
