Anybody besides me notice that a lot of threads here end up as pizzing matches anymore? I was going to post on the "Best John Wayne Quote" thread, but after 2 pages of fighting I lost interest. I find myself spending less time on 24 hour campfire because of it. What gives?

Well lets hope the thread you started doesn't end up that way. New here and like "most" of what I see.

It's the end of January. Things will cheer up by April.
Be not weary in well doing.

Been that way for a while now. When I first joined, and for years thereafter, some discussions would get heated, but most of the time a member would be called on it if he delved into nothing more than slinging mud. Slinging mud has become pretty much the norm over the last few years. I think it started during the last presidential primaries, and once that pattern got established, it just stuck.

I guess it might be cabin fever for some. I have been here for ten years. It had been a fun ride most of the time but sometimes a guy can just post a Good Morning and will get seven pages telling him why he has now idea waht a good morning is. Then there are others with egos so big they will tell you they invented Good Mornings. When threads go down hill I just ignore them and get on with life. Well, usually I do.  Great bunch or people here. Some days we all get out of bed on the wrong side and then saddle up with a huge burr under the saddle blanket. All in all it is still a great place. I look at the bright sides. This group has done some wonderful things. Most of those who will bight your head off in a post will be the same guys who will dig deep if you find yourself in big trouble. I don't like the bickering and personally I think some of the soft porn is a little out of hand. But that is just me.

So, what is your favorite John Wayne quote? Tend to bounce over the wrangling and just read the items that the others send through.
Carry overs from the political discussions, where you expect a bit of tension, or from some disagreement on who is the expert on some gun advice or something, I dunno.
Don't let it stop you from your comments, I enjoy hearing all that from everyone

Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21.
Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

My favorite Quote from the Duke is from Big Jake "Your fault, my fault, nobody's fault. I'm gonna blow your head off".

I have three from John Wayne and one as the Duke.
-Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.
-Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
John Wayne
-If you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will
follow.

That just seems to be the way it is when most of the seasons close and guys get locked in the house with little to occupy them.
