"It's so ridiculous when these things turn into flaming wars because of uninformed comments from people who were not there"

Perhaps that's true but then it applies to you as well. Your speculation and opinions are no more valid than any one elses that wasn't there.
I'm sure we are all intelligent enough here to understand the difference between a humorous F this or that and "STFU". It's not polite by any stretch. We all know what it means and we all know if we spell out something like,
stiff assed [bleep] Britt it gets bleeped. wink
I have nothing more to add other than to say I think the most relevant point is that we are all hoping for the best outcome possible for the hunters.
