[QUOTE="farmin68, post: 3750682, member: 2100"] I have no problem with G-n-B as a person or member, but I do believe he (and at least one other who seems to have disappeared) takes the Vol bashing and football talk in general too far. When a potential new member visits and sees the General Forum on a deer hunting site practically drowning in football-related topics, it can't be very appealing. That saturation is likely the key reason so many threads are being moved. This site is a campfire and the General Forum has always been the catch-all for the topics of the moment, whether it's current news, family and personal moments, or seasonally related topics, such as holidays and sports. If one person sitting around the fire tries to dominate the conversation with constant variations of the same topic, it becomes redundant, boring, and eventually annoying. The fire starts dying down and threads get moved or deleted. [b]Then in an apparent attempt to stir the pot, they start threads (like the one linked below) that can easily be taken as direct shots at the moderators. That's when annoying becomes ridiculous and disrespectful.

Enough is enough and I'm ready to see the General Forum return to a more balanced blend of topics. [/QUOTE]
