LifeNRA Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 This bickering between these two groups on the forums is getting sickening, OTPG and SCOPE. I for one am not a part of any of them. Now it seems that things are spilling over into archery. Asking questions about whether or not you max out your bow! This is ridiculous! This is not helping our cause! We are all hunters aiming to the same goal! The anti's love to see us arguing among each other. Because they know getting us separated among the ranks is the key to their agenda! Can we stop this now? I personally don't give a DARN what you use! As long as your legal within the state you HUNT in! I love this place a lot! I check in every day, but people are getting PM's and I don't mean nice one's either! Let's stop this nonsense now and ACT like the ADULTS we are! I know for a fact that I am not the only one that feels this way!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007hunter Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I've come to just ignore it. At first it was amusing, but lately its just gotten old...JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I am an OTPG member, but I do stay out of the arguing that you are talking about. And I agree with you, if it's getting that far that it's ticking forum members off beyond the joking side of it, it's gotta stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Glad to say I missed the arguing. I'm also glad to see issues like this being handled before getting out of control. We should all be feeling the love man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 You know how you stop it, start banning guys for a few days. Archerytalk.com every now and then has to lay down the law and it does help. I pay no attention to either group but start banning and you will see new attitudes!! Guarantee guys will change their tune if they get some time off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 are you serious??:confused: i have never noticed anything more than some good ribbing between some forum friends when it comes to these to groups:confused: anyone that would take it further than that might have a problem but the regulars that have a good time kidding each other don't deserve to be looked down upon like that.i have made posts joking about the OTPsisterhood but they know it was all in gest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J/K Gotta break a few eggs to make a good omellete! I don't even follow any of those groups but a good banning sounds good don't it! If my buddy John is ticked something needs to be addressed but man a good old fashion banning would be fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnf Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Don't really think a banning is needed. The war seems to be over and the big guns won. Don't seem to be many scopers playing in that room much any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Deep breath folks, everything's going to be allllllllllllright. There's a handful of folks on both sides that are too serious about the whole topic, which is silly IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 maybe i'm off base, but i thought it was 99% in fun. maybe it's my joking nature, but i really didn't see any hard conflicts there. now, if you do have to do any banning, can we do some flogging, too??? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right, auto industry is in the tank so you better keep me here! Can we ban Ohiobucks just for the sake of banning??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Can we ban Ohiobucks just for the sake of banning??!! I'm gonna ban myself and save you guys the trouble..... :D There's a handful of folks on both sides that are too serious about the whole topic, which is silly IMHO. Then let's start a public list of all these individuals, weather a "minimalist or non-minimalist", so they/we can identify how others perceive them/us. This way, if they/we know that others think that they/we are huge DB's, they/we can start to come together on this one and take appropriate steps to cut the endless flow of "how big is your gun?" nonsense. Then pigs will start flying...... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 DANG, trouble makers ... :D My eye's hurt, I've been staring at this darn screen for too long .. :eek: OUCH !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 IF I can offer my opinion on this without getting shot...LOL I think the OTPG is a fine big gun club, and it should stay that why. They have a great time with their big cal. weapons get-togethers, and have the T-shirts to prove it. But that's where it should end IMHO. Us so-called SCOPERS don't need a club, or a name other than "hunters". I'm not even sure how the rest of us got that name. We start making all these little clubs, and ribbing each other the wrong way at times, and it turns into a gang type mentality. (again, JMO) I've had a bit of fun with it myself, just to lighten the air at times, but I can see where some might be a bit offended by the ribbing. I say we disband our SCOPERS club, never to be classified again and let the OTPG have there Big Gun Blast Offs. JMHO What say ye Scopers...er...ah..I mean fellow hunters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Dont know what a OTPG is or what a Scoper is Guess I'm glad I don't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Noooooooooooooo Sorry Buckee, but the OTPG is dis-connected, so they should be dis-banded!:D:D LMBO!!!:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Deep breath folks, everything's going to be allllllllllllright. I thought your next line was going to be, " 'Are you with the Bomb Squad?' 'No ma'am. But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.'

JMHO What say ye Scopers...er...ah..I mean fellow hunters Steve, I followed both sides a little. I then stayed away because I could see sooner or later that conflict would have happened. I like to shoot big bores, I just don't own any! I really wanted to see these guys this past fall at Strut's place, I just couldn't make the trip! I have my money tied up in other things! I just see this separating the hunters! I am not condemning any side here! I like to joke around like the next guy! But I don't want to see anybody leave the forums because of some silly little feud that got out of hand! It seems like it started in some threads and people PM'ing each other. It just plain STUPID for us to act this way. You know all the tree huggers and anti's are loving this up too! Lets get this place back to where is was before this all happened! Start over!!!
