I am out.....

Well folks, I am out of Realtree. I am sick of the politics going on in the Political forum--imagine that, politics in a political forum. ;) However, the moderator that blamed me for the problems also moderates other forums and I don't want to deal with him any more.

You can read the drama here if it hasn't been deleted: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showthread.php?p=789520#post789520

Basically, I posted something about Fred Thompson in the political forum that ended up in a argument. No problems there. The moderater says that his post was rhetorical and sarchastic as was much of my reply. We squabbled a bit back and forth and the thread was locked. No biggie. We made things right and I am not mad at him in any way.

Then comes another nameless moderator (you know who you are buckee) and blamed the entire problem on me jumping as if the other party had absolutely no responsibility for the issue at all. As if the post went south completely because I overreacted for no reason at all. Buckee even admitted that pre-post 22 we had been very civil. Had post 22 not been nasty, I wouldn't have jumped in post 23. Since buckee also moderates other forums including this one, I am out folks. Too old and too tired for the drama.

Good luck to a great season all.

I for one will miss you new, and hope you change your mind.

A forum is a place where many opinions can be expressed, and especially in the political room those opinions can clash.

After reading all the banter in the thread you linked us to, it appears that most of the conversation was taken up by only two members, yourself and wtnhunter.

Since the original post did not gather much interest from the other members, perhaps you two should have taken your discussion and differences of opinion to the pm feature and not on the open board.

Maybe we need a rule that only two or three comments per person on any particular thread.

I don't know, but I didn't read anything that would chase me off if I were either of you.

I hope to see you cool down and post again later that you are back from your hiatus.

Wow, sorry to hear this. I don't go into the political forum anyway, not a politics type person,lol. I hope you can come back in here in due time, but do what you feel is right. I know I don't want to see RT become one of those other forums where people are negative 3/4 of the time. RT is a great place. Take care bud

Buh Bye

Just leave why do you have to have a ceremony to go with it nothing good comes of any of them step out and move on ... all this does is make ppl take sides and your wrong by coming in here and calling out a mod on your way out ... its post like this that make me sick and disgusted I shouldnt have to read garbage like this in the lounge ... I personally think this post should be locked or deleted its a crock you have a problem with A person and only one person then take it up with that person calling anyone out like this is totally unacceptable and by forum rules shouldnt be tolerated period ... any mod should go back and read the rules and imediately delete this post ... this shouldn't be tolerated.

Have a great life ...

I could never leave this place, too many losers like myself with more issues than I got! Just kidding! I almost feel normal when I get online and post here! :D

New, you got to have thick skin at times but if you leave, your only hurting yourself. Sorry you have to leave but its your choice but I think its the wrong one.

Take a week off and cool off, as another day brings another topic and then more drama!

If you do leave, have a great one and have a great hunting season this year and many more years after! :)

For what it's worth, I don't think New was wrong in his argument of one administrator taking the side of another. Sorry buckee but you became impartial when you said the trouble started on post 23 not post 22. I would have just stayed neutral and said they were both overreacting. I do however see where a semi serious conversation that new was obviously passionate about turned into being talked to like a child on post 22. Re-read #22 and tell me you can't imagine that whole post being spoken in a cuddly wuddly sarcastic baby voice. Regardless of the subject, I think new's feelings got hurt because he put so much emotion into the conversation. I think he felt like he was connecting to someone with as much passion about the subject as him and then it was all blown away by sarcasm and characterizations about how he was being perceived. Just my opinion and I don't mean to offend you or anyone else buckee. I think you're the best Administrator on here and you have been there to help anyone (including me) anytime we asked. I guess I might over anylize things sometimes.

I don't even think we should have one, too many pointless arguments and other crap goes on because of different opinions.

I agree. This should just be a place for hunting/outdoor info and for meeting different people. I have been in some "heated disccusions in the past. I learned they are not worth it no matter what the topic, everyone has different opinions on everything, no point in trying to change their minds about it, just agree to disagree and move on.
