Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The Campfire Is Dying From Within

Gotta agree 100%

I think he wants to blow you, you might wanna try and be nice to him.......It could pan out.

I'm highly respected on another forum, where multiple different topics are dicussed,where the average IQ is 75-100 points above the average IQ here. People listen when I talk.

I'm white, Southern, conservative, Christian, and a veteran of long-served military service - I say that only because my comments are intended for many of you who claim to be the same as me. I think a lot of folks on here take advantage of free speech and subject it to the most distasteful ends possible. While I fully support and have fought for your right to do so, I certainly don't agree with all that you say and especially your attempts to put your spin of bigotry and racism on every post that appears on The Campfire. On the various other technical forums, you hijack posts with personal attacks because you disagree with someone else’s viewpoint, or because you believe that their gender or ethnicity makes their opinion unworthy. Because you get away with it, because you get few if any dissenting responses, you assume that your rhetoric is superior and your behavior is acceptable - the truth is that most on here just don’t want to stoop to your level.

Furthermore, I firmly believe that the original intent of The Campfire was to serve as an online community for the exchange of knowledge and ideas for those of us who lived the outdoor shooting and hunting lifestyle - maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think it was intended to be an outhouse for those of you with extremist views to take a political dump anytime and anywhere. The problem I have is also personal: I have daughters - one of whom likes to hunt and shoot when she can - and also grandchildren, boys and girls. You have made this sight unsuitable for them and quite frankly, I don’t think it is your right to do so. Where I come from the term ‘gentleman’ still means something. If you’re not sure what that is, a simple definition means behaving the same way you would in front of your mother. Some of you certainly don’t qualify or don’t care and that’s certainly your business; but by common association on the campfire, you give the rest of us a bad name and that’s my business. Because you scream the most and the loudest, doesn’t mean that you’re right - it just means you’re intellectually obnoxious . . . and sure as hell, it means The Campfire is dying within.

Tampax don't count Blackie

Bravo! Well said. The fringe Right thinks it’s shït don’t stink, and it’s getting tiresome.

Would put you in a coma.

The last page or so is a good example of why the 'fire is dying.

I hope Rick reads this.

Rick, I'm interested in your opinion. There's a few that spew out things I've not heard in the roughest company, that seem to think they own this place. They claim that you like it " because it makes you money", so they say. I don't believe that.
I think a lot of Christians and decent minded unbelievers would appreciate your opinion on the subject.

Then let the bitch die... and start over.

Many of you people are like the democrats... you seem to want to control everybody else.

I want to take away your guns... your free speech, but will keep my bodyguards and say and do anything I want.

A Constitutional Republic is a messy damn thing.

Name something better?

Would put you in a coma.

Promise?

I don't particularly care for arguing here, simply because I can't punch ass holes who desperately deserve it in the face.

I hope Rick reads this.

Rick, I'm interested in your opinion.
