Turkeygirl Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Please, no one get me wrong but in my opinion, the more people that come onto this forum, the more negative feedback(posts and replies) we are getting. I would truly hate to see this become like some boards where family friendly is not the atmosphere. It seems to me that some people are becoming a little too passionate about their opinions and do not need to be so harsh. Young people visit these forums and for all you know, they look up to some of us. We should be building each other up, not break each other down. While we are busy bickering over very small things, people are dying overseas in war. Thousands have died in the tsunami or are homeless. We should be praying more and acting like brothers/sisters in Christ, not jumping down someone's throat just because they are offended by something someone said; it is an opinion and people are entitled to opinions. If we were all exactly like, the world and life would be so stinking boring. To me, Realtree is a Place of FELLOWSHIP, a place where people can belong and find help when needed, not to mention a place to talk HUNTING. I hope I have not offended anyone but this is what was in my heart and I felt that I needed to share it. Now let's all take one big happy pill and be friends,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherguy Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... I pretty much agree tg but i don't think it has to do with new members or stron opinions. without strong opinions things get boring lol. Most of us have at some point gotten worked up over something in here. I think we all just need to remember one of the rules we agreed to. "No personal attacks". Debate is good, name calling and snide comments just snowball into a big mess. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... This came from my personal view that to me, more posts become these long,drawn out, posts because of nasty replies, such as in the Walmart again..... posts. I'm just tired of seeing some people get so offended about some post when it isn't really worth it. This is just a forum for the fellowship of hunters.And I do see that fisherguy has a good point; opinions aren't bad and we are entitled to make them heard.

Tominator Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... Personally, I like the added spice every once in a while. When we all get in here and everybody agrees, that to me is boring. Just the other day my buddy Tom got his ire up, and I thought it was pretty funny, because you really have to get Tom going for him to express an opinion like he did. Ruth, I love you to death, but we both know there's bigger issues in life. I don't think we mean much by getting passionate in our posts, it's just human nature. especially when we as hunters are cooped up in a house and can't hunt anything.

Steven Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... Yeah, there seems to be a pretty strong influx of idiots lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... I understand now...thanks for the explanation...I really wasn't sure what to say.... While in the lounge I just usually post what I'm thinking and feeling at that time, sometimes I get alittle caught up in the moment and get out of hand. One of those things I call reacting before thinking....which I have been known to do quite often...nothing a quick PM to me won't fix....

Turkeygirl Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... Ok, I see you all have some good points...I'd be bored to if we all agreed. It just annoys me when some new morons come in here thinking they are hot stuff; thetoolman just got me offended because my family isn't quite poor like no food poor but we have to watch our money and to see him be a jerk to you, too-pointer, made me really mad,lol! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that knowing when I come in here I can get honest answers from good people. I personally will not sugar coat something and will stand behind my opinions even if they are not popular, but that is just me. Seeing the different opinions can be really interesting. So long as discussions remain civil I see no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Re: For once and for all..... TG, Im just gonna bring this up because its what your post here is about.I went back and looked because I asked for a post to be locked last month you found offensive, it was a post titled "Santa" which had a young women in it without a lot of clothes on. Instead of reporting the post to a moderator you replied to it and called the post "immoral and disgusting"That was your opinion of the post and it was locked or deleted as it should have been.But by posting what you did certainly you can see where an argument coulda easily started.My point is its not all the new guys pushing thier opinions and sometimes even an innocent reply gets took the wrong way.And we all have bad days.Actually the diference of opinions and even a little arguing are what keeps forums like this interesting, as long as people dont take things personally and hold a grudge its usually quickly forgotten.
