Its always cyclic, ups and downs. I will agree however that nobody cares to know how many tame tukeys are in your yard on the serious DEER forum, or why you chose your screen name, etc. Since I started the screen name thread, I'll explain why I did and why I think it is relevant to this forum. I'm amazed from time to time at the lack of civility and manners that I see here. I'm sure I'm guilty, but I do try to stay positive. I know that in face-to-face situatios, I've never spoken to anyone or been spoken to by anyone in the way that I see here sometimes. I think it's kinda like when I scream something ugly at another driver who just cut me off. Yes I'm mad, but I would certainly express that anger in a more civil manner if I was face to face. It's all too easy to scream at a nameless, faceless car. I think the situation is sorta similar here. We're talking to a bunch of nameless, faceless screen names and it's easy to forget the rules of polite society in that situation. I was hoping that by exposing a little bit of the personality behind that anonymous screen name, that we (myself certainly included) might get a little better aquainted. And since that thread has been viewed 600 and something times so far, I think it is a little bit of an overstatement to say that nobody cares. Just my attempt at community-building. , but I could also post nude pics of Tiffany Lakosky
Well what are you waiting for? Do it. lol

Actually, I'm just as much of an A-hole in person as I sound like on this site.
Just ask anyone who knows me...

Many times,BSK aside, a forum may give people a chance to express themselves who may not be able to do it verbally. It may not have anything to do with face to face...just they may express themselves better in written form. Some like to "stir the pot" and I don't like that...why say or post something just to get a rise out of everyone...Isn't that like yelling "fire" in a building full of people?
I also don't think that being "direct" or being "discerning" makes you a a-hole...that's just how some people are...Using tact and diplomacy takes years to master so many feel it isn't worth it.
If the definition of diplomacy is allowing someone else to have "your" way...then, it isn't such a bad thing to learn

See a topic you are not interested in. Don't click on it. Dumb as I am, I learned how to do that. "How high should I hang my stand?" just walk on by. "One or two buck buck limit?" Just go on by. "Are Tiffanies real or bought?
I agree,
See coach I can't pick on him all the time. Sometimes he has a good post. Ha!

I'm the same in person. Once someone meets me they end up liking me, except outdoor lady. I am not afraid to call it like I see it. A computor does not act like a shield to me.

Rich, there are some people on here that..well, I don't see how I couldn't like them based on some of their posts and their reactions to others posts...others I'm sure they wouldn't like me based on their posts. When I say like, I mean to hang around the campfire with or go have a beer...But, for the most part we are all part of a hunting family..to one degree or another..or we wouldn't be interacting on this site...
I was reading Woods n Water..a Michigan publication....In their forum and letters to the editor you'd swear it was tndeer guys writing and posting. Same stuff..QMA, Baiting...blah blah...

The serious forum is my favorite forum on here. I try and stay out of the general forum as much as I can for several reasons. My only complaint is the people that come in here and post just to post. Why somebody feels it is necessary to post a smiley face and move on to the next thread and post another smiley face is beyond me. A lot of good information gets burried by doing this.
