� Judging a person's knowledge or expertise by his age.... is really close minded, IMHO. � there are plenty of less aged people who can also help you out � And let's not forget that for some folks, twenty years of experience is one year's experience ignored for nineteen years. To put it a bit differently. It ain't how long you've been there, it's what you've learned since you've been there. It applies in a lot of places.

All this leaves me wondering
Where's the orgasmic, obsessive satisfaction in deifying or demonizing someone whom you've never met and really know nothing about?
just curious
and puzzled I just keep checking back on this thread to see Porch girl and the other women. Your second sentence leads me to believe you might be too. Maybe a bit of a Freudian slip there? They say you're never too old........................DJ

I keep thinking everyone one this thread is just mad that they didn't get to taste fried Ray Atkinson. Hell I'm even jeleous. If he knows so much about game, he must taste like game. Bet he tastes like fried elk by now.

When I read the title of the thread the first time, I thought ole Ray had gotten the electric chair.

Now that we have had the "porch girl", how about a fresh picture of "refrigerator girl"?
It seems to me that she was not without merits.
Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?

I have only had one interaction with Ray, 6 years ago.
He was not a man of good character.
Just my one little anecdotal datum point.

I have known and liked Ray for about 30 years, and count him as a friend (may be embellished but I met him about the time my 30 year-old daughter was born) and have shared lots of work & relaxation time with him. We never had the opportunity to go "hunting" but have shared stories & have similar backgrounds, ranch raised, & career choices over the years, and I can say that there is not a man alive that I would rather have at my back when I needed someone in that position. I have no idea about the problems noted in this thread, but I will be in contact with Ray both online & personally this winter just like always, and you can be sure that all this will be the last thing talked about.

Good post, MartyC. You just went up a notch in my book.
I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Just my one little anecdotal datum point. One encounter and you made a determination that he was not a man of good character. How do we know that you are?

Some single event deeds are dastardly enough to infer low character. Do a Google search on "Fallacy: Personal Attack " e.g. Both O.J. Simpson and Mother Teresa could have typed identical posts about Marion Barry. Which one is correct?

I think jwp475 fits in very well when the subject is low character. He could give lessons to people of low character.
