A call for simple civility is completely lost on this crowd. They can't help but make it personal.
But ask yourself if the people that spend an inordinate amount of time attacking other people are here for the same reason. Let me know what you come up with.
This after you tell other members "fugg you", and threw insults also...but you'll quip with a justified defending myself. You can't make rules that only apply to you, actually you can't even make rules here. You're searching for something you won't find here, you're playing the victim when you deserved the penalty.

I'll be honest.
I'm here to bask in the glory of the constantly butt-hurt.

A call for simple civility is completely lost on this crowd. They can't help but make it personal. The truth is, I left once before for exactly the same reason, but it's even worse now than it was then. I came back for the Savage Collectors forum and the few good threads that enrich a persons life. Where else can a person get Bristoe but on the campfire?  Sadly, those threads are fewer and fewer, while personal insults and attacks are more and more. I get insulted daily and normally choose to ignore it. The point is, it's not about me, that's a false argument. It's about the campfire. I still post on my hunts, or other this and that's, as do others. I try to contribute on blacktail deer, bear hunting, and Savages. normally with photos and a storyline for fun reading. Plenty of back and forth on the Savage forum and I've taken some good-hearted ribbing and even some vitriol for my Savage project rifles. Greg just slammed me above for it in fact. So what, that's not what I'm talking about. Those are what makes the campfire enjoyable, and that's why I'm here, same as most others. But ask yourself if the people that spend an inordinate amount of time attacking other people are here for the same reason. Let me know what you come up with. You mean like your 'Enough to choke a horse' knives thread in the Classifieds and then you play the victim after being called a bitch? That kind of civility? You are one CRAZY CHICK

For the record, I still think you are taking the piss. Jim I don't know you from Adam, and have zero reason to either like or dislike you. You are neutral to me, a blank slate. We could be great friends or maybe not, point is I don't know but you and every other person I meet gets a fair chance. I believe any man deserves to be respected until he proves he doesn't deserve it. (I'll admit I struggle with hippies and drug abusers! I'm not perfect.) In my book, someone that doesn't deserve respect is usually one that habitually preys on others. Some here deserve to be scorned for the way they treat people. You don't strike me that way at all.

How about really dealing with the incivility that goes on here? How about it Jim? Ironic, ain't it? Learn to discern between initiation and reaction. There is a small but vocal group of people here that initiate, and there is a very very small group here that responds. Most won't. Who initiated this thread?

I'd have that shiet bulldozed the fugg out of there and back fill a little. Of course if your goal is to continually chip, then I'd get a chipper.

Well, I dont have anything against you either FireBall.
We see things a bit differently I guess.
Up here on the arid plains we give each other a terrible ration of schit. Maybe its different in other places.
We are only polite and courteous to the people we dont like.....or dont know that well.
I am MAGA.

Ask yourself why that matters so much to you. That's easy. Because it's unnecessary and creates dissension, turmoil, anxiety, et all, needlessly. It serves only to divide and create trouble and is completely avoidable. Life is difficult, the campfire is a pastime, a pleasure if you will, it should be more pleasant than not. You all act like I'm the first person that's ever left the campfire because of this. Not hardly gents.

Anyway....lets have a test.
I, the artist formally known as Jim, like to shoot my .270 Winchester. I also like shooting CB shorts out of my Single Six.
I am also not terribly fond of hard kicking rifles......and I like bird watching.
I am MAGA.

I'd have that shiet bulldozed the fugg out of there and back fill a little. Of course if your goal is to continually chip, then I'd get a chipper. I've got 5 acres. Most of it is grass that I mow. There's one acre on the back corner of my property that contains the cane patch, the multiple honeysuckle bushes and many mature trees. The previous owners more or less cultivated it to be what it is and have paths cut through it that the mower will fit through. It's a nice little secluded area to wander around in. It;s one of the things that appealed to me about this particular piece of land. I want to keep it but it requires maintenance. The previous owners slacked off on the maintenance of it over the past 3 years or so, so it's going to take some work to get it manicured back to the condition that I want it to be in.

Ask yourself why you let strangers on a website affect you so profoundly.

Bristoe,
What was it that you like to post here? "It's only the Internet" or something like that? I think that sums up this thread nicely.

Still love how you entered the fray considering how it was framed in the OP. As I said, you're only play. But now you're in, so go hog wild and don't hold back, it only serves to illustrate my point. Since we all know you;re a sociopath, we know you lack the restraint it would take to remain silent.

Ask yourself why you let strangers on a website affect you so profoundly. Well, that's an honest enough question Smoke. I place a value on the friendships that are to be had on the internet. They often translate into face to face friendships as time goes on. You know what I mean, all of us have a story or two of people we met here first then in person. To wantonly destroy the venue for that seems counter-intuitive, unless that's not why a person is here to begin with. Why would anyone sheit in their own bed if you aren't a bear? That is exactly my contention. Some are here to destroy, some to build. I would choose to build if it were up to me, but some make that impossible. I would find it OK if co-existence were an option, but the comments are so wholly distasteful, personal, and directed that ignoring them becomes pretty hard to do. That's not why I'm here, so it took me a while to understand that there are some sick sick fuques out there that lead such a miserable existence that their aim is to bring everyone else down to their level. Learning that is a process, I'm pretty f'n naive as some of you have made fun of, which is all good and fine. I'd choose naive over knowing that porn stars bleach their azzhole before filming (thanks again Steelhead). Who cares about such sheit but sick fuques?
