When I started on the Campfire years ago I thought I would contribute and also learn from others about various subjects. Recently I learned that there are some who respond to posts that are nothing more than an effort to insult and call other's names. This is not a way to learn or to exhibit your opinion. Calling people "stupid" nor using the the "f'' Word is common. I have never criticized any one who has expressed their opinion or advice. There are some who have posted thousands of posts that do nothing but criticize and make one-liner disparaging remarks. The main one that comes to my mind is "devlavre' I have never seen a positive contribution from him as long as I have been on The Campfire. Only insults and disparaging remarks. Not one positive remark. So, with some regret, I will no longer become a member of your fine Blog Thanks to all you people who have been a positive effect and bye to Dave. I have no time to read a bunch of your negative remarks. You should see your Shrink.
New to this forum, lurked for a bit. But a thread like this seems needy. If you want to leave, just stop posting. No drama.
I have no knowledge of the incidents. But in general, it is sad how thin skinned people have become. Especially men. Espcially on topics that are manly.

Ron, I totally agree with your post. Thanks for having the courage to boldly go where only women have gone before...... fleeing devlavre. Good Luck on your new blog. Pinterest is lucky to have you. Slave
Ron, a long time ago I would have had my feelings hurt here, but I don't have any so all is good. Stick around I am sure there are many insults and ugly comments you have not heard. Much to learn here.
Vaginitis is inflammation of the vagina. Symptoms of vaginitis include vaginal pain or discomfort, itching, discharge, and odor. Pain with urination or during sexual intercourse is also common. Vaginitis may be due to infections or non-infectious causes. Infectious vaginitis may be due to bacteria, fungus, or the parasitic organism known as Trichomonas. Infectious vaginitis should be treated with antibiotics. Vaginitis can also be related to physical or chemical irritation of the vagina. Some infectious causes of vaginitis are sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs), but not all vaginal infections are sexually-transmitted some are campfire forums related.

Don't take it seriously, I just got my ass chewed last night trying to help a "little z" pick out a rifle for his bud and a woman, water off a fuggin ducks back man, I bitch and gripe more than most here and 75% of the 'fire may have me on ignore, who cares, stay, read, bitch, give advise and learn.

On a lighter note, I have had several members pm or phone me and tell me amazing stories of hunts and miracles they refuse to tell on the fire for fear of ridicule or just because they dont care to deal with the flack, and i am referring to a couple of well respected and esteemed members entrusting me with stories similar to those i have told. One re an experience with ufos.
Another with respect to a huge trophy class animal that, when shot, fell down a cliff and lost part of its gear. Prayer resulted in the impossible, unbelievable recovery of same against overwhelming odds.
Though i pleaded, their stories will evidently never be viewed on the fire. Our loss. Where is Keith and so many others?

Day one here, but this sounds crazy. So people are shooting big ones and afraid to tell? That happens to hunters alot. Missing, and don't want to tell, which isn't all that interesting of story.
Or is people are afraid they won't be believed?
But when someone starts a thread to tell people they are going to miss him when he is gone, I tend to not believe.
Liar 24, the Uberlanche, the Great April Fools Vendetta. That stuff is classic, the embrous heart of this Campfire and I wouldn't want that to ever change.

It was all due, Neal, to many, many miracles executed in my behalf by the Grace of The Almighty. I can recount many miracles He interviened with over many years that opened the doors, one after another, that resulted in His blessing having been opened up on me-a radicle pursuer of monster deer. All in all i still failed in many facets that depended upon me with respect to the errors i made in the pursuit of same. Still, His miracles prevailed in my efforts, overcoming my inadequacies to give me a miracle not deserved by me, but by His grace, heretofore one of the few miraculous blessings of my life. And, it was all due to my asking and not my skill or perseverance. Thank you Father in Heaven and praise and glory be to you.

Kieth's alive and well over on the Marlin Owners forum.
Wasn't sure what to make of the OP so I did a search and discovered this jewel.

Lord knows Wisconsin is mighty close to Texas but for fugk sake man.
We'll miss you rondrew. But at least we'll always have Ringman.
Like I said first day, don't know what the inside jokes are. But hunters not wanting to tell stories, is a new one on me.
I justhave seen this in other forums. Cant stand it when a man says you will miss me when I am gone.
great. A new sock puppet pops up at just the right time. laughing
Yep, Mann, sounds like we gots us another weenner.
I just hate it when a new guy starts posting. Those new posts just get in the way of me finding all the links to news stories that you guys post from other websites.
It's not like I could find those on my own, and I need other people to find things for me to be outraged about.

I won't call you a stupid phuc, but your online personality sure is. Devlavre is a bit of an acquired taste, like Mad Dog 20/20. You either have to want to like it or you have to be a cheap cundt to tolerate it. In either case, I raise my glass of MD 20/20 to my fire mates!

I'd like to be the first to officially welcome you to the 'fire.

Sorry smokepole, i posted them for those who couldnt find them, not you.
The OP makes some good points. Perhaps he has a history here such that anything he posts is not taken seriously. I do not know.
There are those capable of good one liners, funny a-holes, and just plain a-holes. Some people know the difference, some don't, and some don't care. For some, the cruder it gets, the better it is. Real life has them all, and this place sure is a slice of real life. You figure that out pretty quick, and take it or leave it.
Rude behavior is what it is, and those who believe it is manly to be rude, or that being rude proves their manliness find much fertile ground on the 'net. I find less rude behavior out in the world face to face than I do on the 'net. I have found that some who claim to revere the philosophies of the fictional Gus McCrae and J.B. Books do not behave in kind, especially on the 'net.
What I really find curious are the posts that go something like, "Yeah, he's like that on the 'net. But when you meet him in person, he is a much different and nicer guy." Seems to me it would be easier all around if people looked forward to meeting you in person as opposed to wondering if you are more "acceptable" in person. But, that's just me.

I think a lot of people on the internet have never sat around a real campfire.
If they had, their vagina wouldn't flop onto the deck every time an f-bomb or smart ass comment was utilized to make a point.

Maybe they didn't appreciate the .505 Gibbs advice...
But, I'm sure it'd work...
Aww, they just a bunch of Wusses, anyway. A man's rifle is for a real man...
For the OP, maybe you need a "safe space", like on college campuses...
Some of you guys are really running the vagina's rep into the ground. I'm rather fond of them and hate to see them associated with certain types of people.
Does ball busting only happen in places like Jersey or Montucky?
No.
If you are sitting around a campfire and explain you have to use two fingers to depress a trigger, everybody just nods their head in an understanding way.
I fail to understand how anyone can take this kind of thing seriously, and doubly fail to understand how someone doesn't find 'Flave absolutely hilarious.
If you read between the lines you'll see that he's just a complete smart ass, and rarely has anything honestly rude to say. I don't peek my head out of the .223 AI thread much so I don't follow everything that goes on up here in fairy land, but I seriously doubt "Flave has been becoming the way some folks seem to think he is.
I call my 17 year old nephew a bitch, slut and constantly tell him what a dumb fuqker he is. He gives it right back, without his sensitive little feelings hurt. People around here can learn from a high schooler it seems...

Right? I honestly can't remember a time that was ever spent talking politics with a few guys around the fire, but the ball basting never stops. That's what men do.
Spendin' time around campfires is important.......otherwise one may think they are in the need for a clit ring.
If you never had a little smoke in yer eyes or never had another around the fire make great fun at yer expense, or had a good snort around the fire you ain't fully developed.
Hell, there's ball busting all the time in my office. The office manager lady has the mouth of an old school Marine DI.
Guess what? Late this afternoon one of my office mates is grilling thick ribeyes cut from a whole he had dry aged at a local meat market. The other two bastages and I from the office are going over. The two of them and their wives are real foodies and are bringing sides and good wine. I'm bringing cigars and top shelf sipping whisk(e)y for after dinner.

Being constantly offended at everything gets old. Watching people complain about things like this is nothing more than annoying at best. Grow a set of balls or wash the sand out of your vag. Most places in america dont have safe spaces where everyone holds each other and tells stories about how mean everyone is being. Grow up, try to become a man and push on. Lifes hard and everyone should have to go though some kinda chit. Makes one a better, stronger man. Or GFY. Either one works I guess
Bustin' nuts around a 'fire is one thing, doing it professionally is quite another.
Imagine yourself in an ATC radar room, 30 or so of your peers humpin' away and a nattily dressed Washington HQ puke in the shadows doing his part in a facility evaluation. One of your peers asks a performance question about the B777 and you shoot him an answer across the aisle. He asks the pilot to verify that and snorts, tells you that's wrong and you ask by how much?
The question was total fuel burn per hour at cruise. The captain said they were actually burning about 300#/hour more than I said which puts the difference at about .01%. Controller's "name" is "Buckwheat". I laff and tell him "Oh F-U". That natty twerp from D.C. turned me in to the chief.
Conference in the Chief's (a woman) office with union rep along for chitts'n giggles. "Did you..."
"Yes, but I spelled it P-H-U-O-C...."
Union rep looks down at the floor, does face palm. Chief blushes, shakes head. Meeting over.
Letter of reprimand crafted and I was given 2 weeks to respond. I did so with a lengthy document. I do not include the cover letter on this but it was sent up the chain of command thru the Regional Office to Washington HQ and the FAA Administrator. Mario started to smile when he read it, then with jaw hanging open he asked if I was serious. I told him I was and the Union had copy of the document in their possession. Ya know what? Mario never gave me any chitt after that.

L.O.R. Decision
Mario Bosque Central Area Operations Supervisor JAX ARTCC Hilliard, Fl.
Mr. Bosque,
I am profoundly disappointed with the affirmation of your Letter of Reprimand per your letter dated 4-30-03. This issue will ultimately be settled by arbitration IAW the Collective Bargaining Agreement as outlined in the second paragraph of your letter, and barring success in that arena, in court.
Although I do not wish to sound repetitive I must restate my request for information contained in my letter of response to your proposed action, dated 4-14-03, that being a list of proscribed language or verbiage that is prohibited in the workplace. You threaten me with termination in your Letter of Reprimand yet are coy in regards to what language is acceptable in the workplace. If you refuse to respond as requested please have the professional courtesy to respond in the negative. Some framework definition is required in this matter, and to date the silence has been deafening.
I will take this occasion to address another aspect of my letter that needs amending even though it may be too late. I was interrogated by Ms. Gettig regarding my use of THE WORDS, and later signed acknowledgment of the transcript of that event. My mind was in such turmoil at that juncture that I overlooked a not inconsequential aspect of the text and my admission. The spelling used in the text was âF--- Youâ, and being no stranger to phonics I overlooked the fact that my words were in fact spelled âPh--- Youâ. They sound the same. The origin of this phrase precedes us by many centuries and in fact has evolved through many changes since the original âPlucking the Yewâ*. This is probably beyond allowable time frames for this process, but I felt compelled to set the record straight nonetheless.
In addition I must expand on my reference to the Athol intersection in ZMA airspace. Well, I have subsequently discovered a plethora of such intersections on the ERIDS system and other FAA sources. I feel compelled to acknowledge my total lack of understanding on the subject of propriety concerning intersection names. As these names are in the NAS data base I am left with little choice but to assume they are indeed acceptable verbiage in the workplace and as it appears that context is irrelevant I will feel free to use them as deemed appropriate. I will list them for you for the record with the state of location in closed parenthesis. Before I start however, I just want you to know that I consider this entire thing FUBAR (AZ). Did you know that COLIN (VA) is right next door to NUTTS (VA)? COLLN (CO) isnât. At least LOINS (IA) is separated from BEAVR (TX) by BUTCH (OK). What a relief! But it gets worse, sorry. Do you think there is a hidden meaning in the placement of BUSSH (TN) just across the border from NUDEE (NC) and SLITT (NC)? You probably know that DIKEE (AK) is a long way from there but itâs in the same place as NAKED (AK), geographically speaking. If I lived on the east coast I might be concerned about my neighbors with DICKE (NJ) and LICKK (NJ) on their mind. There is some symmetry however in that JUGGS(ID) is several time zones separated from RACKE(FL) and CRACK(AK). Is this just another SNAFU(NJ)? What kind of ATHOL(FL) allowed this to happen? BABEE(NY) and BABBE(MI) are probably not the same, just as COLON(SC) and GASHE(OR) are different. Some people like to SWALO(MA), some shake their BOOTY(WI), some think MUFFE(FL) is SEXXY(IL), and out west we have DIVER(TX) and DIVVR(TX), but maybe they are of different persuasion. The message from the heartland is not ambiguous however since they prefer COOCH(NB).
You may think that would conclude the list of intersections that detail various body parts or have graphic reference to sex. DONYA(MI) bet your BOOTE(IN) on it BAABE(OH). Iâm just getting warmed up on this FAKKR(CA). I want you to understand by the way, Iâm not giving you the FINGR(TX) in a metaphorical sense. Just trying to define what is acceptable. If you find that my methodology does not AMUZE(AL) you, remember that I asked for your guidance on three prior occasions. Well, on with the show. No thought or association is intended by the order of presentation: BAABY(MD) HONEE(TX) LUVVE(CA) BUSTS(TX) BUXOM(OR) CUTEY(IL) DROOL(MI) FEELY(NC) LOVER(NM) CODDS(WA) DONGS(FL) LUNGS(WI) FLUZE(NM) BODYS(OH) BLOWN(PA) LONGG(OK) HUMPP(WA) RACKK(IL) SLEEZ(CA) QUIKY(PA) HUMMR(AZ) RACKS(NM) ANNAS(VA)
Tell me this is one big FOPAW(OK), please. It makes me want to consider getting DRUNK(MA) with some HOOCH(PA) or BEERS(PA), or high on GANJA(TX) or WEEDD(CA) or GRASS(WI) or JUNKE(KS).

* Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the British, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. The longbow was made of the native Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as âplucking the yewâ (or âpluck yewâ). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at them, saying âSee, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!â Since âpluck yewâ is difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning gradually changed to a labiodental fricative âFâ, and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one fingered salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as âgiving the birdâ.

The OP makes some good points. Perhaps he has a history here such that anything he posts is not taken seriously. I do not know.
There are those capable of good one liners, funny a-holes, and just plain a-holes. Some people know the difference, some don't, and some don't care. For some, the cruder it gets, the better it is. Real life has them all, and this place sure is a slice of real life. You figure that out pretty quick, and take it or leave it.
Rude behavior is what it is, and those who believe it is manly to be rude, or that being rude proves their manliness find much fertile ground on the 'net. I find less rude behavior out in the world face to face than I do on the 'net. I have found that some who claim to revere the philosophies of the fictional Gus McCrae and J.B. Books do not behave in kind, especially on the 'net.
What I really find curious are the posts that go something like, "Yeah, he's like that on the 'net. But when you meet him in person, he is a much different and nicer guy." Seems to me it would be easier all around if people looked forward to meeting you in person as opposed to wondering if you are more "acceptable" in person. But, that's just me.
I think a lot of people on the internet have never sat around a real campfire.
If they had, their vagina wouldn't flop onto the deck every time an f-bomb or smart ass comment was utilized to make a point.
Dave
I agree with you. A lot of people on the internet have never sat around a real campfire. But I see it differently. In my experience around real campfires there may be a good amount of good-natured back and forth, but not some of the straight up insults sometimes tossed out on the 'net. There is no anonymity around a real campfire. Some of the things posted on the 'net said face to face would result in real fights, especially if said by people who didn't know each other well.
When does calling someone out mean "you won't tolerate rudeness in a man" and when does it mean you are thin-skinned, a "snowflake", or you are just "flopping your vagina onto the deck?" I expect the difference to many is the difference between using profanity or wit to make a point in an argument as opposed to simply offer an insult.
No doubt there are many crybabies in the world. But there are plenty of genuine a-holes as well.
Rondrews, ya just can't take these guys with more than a grain of salt. There are some really smart people here when ya ask a specific question, the rest .. . . well. ..
Scott Adams has a blog post about all the people who don't get humor. If you don't think Deflave is hilarious you are one of the people who don't get humor. I'm sure the OP cries about Trumps tweeting too.
Bustin' nuts around a 'fire is one thing, doing it professionally is quite another.
Imagine yourself in an ATC radar room, 30 or so of your peers humpin' away and a nattily dressed Washington HQ puke in the shadows doing his part in a facility evaluation. One of your peers asks a performance question about the B777 and you shoot him an answer across the aisle. He asks the pilot to verify that and snorts, tells you that's wrong and you ask by how much?
The question was total fuel burn per hour at cruise. The captain said they were actually burning about 300#/hour more than I said which puts the difference at about .01%. Controller's "name" is "Buckwheat". I laff and tell him "Oh F-U". That natty twerp from D.C. turned me in to the chief.
Conference in the Chief's (a woman) office with union rep along for chitts'n giggles. "Did you..."
"Yes, but I spelled it P-H-U-O-C...."
Union rep looks down at the floor, does face palm. Chief blushes, shakes head. Meeting over.
Letter of reprimand crafted and I was given 2 weeks to respond. I did so with a lengthy document. I do not include the cover letter on this but it was sent up the chain of command thru the Regional Office to Washington HQ and the FAA Administrator. Mario started to smile when he read it, then with jaw hanging open he asked if I was serious. I told him I was and the Union had copy of the document in their possession. Ya know what? Mario never gave me any chitt after that.

Mr. Bosque,
I am profoundly disappointed with the affirmation of your Letter of Reprimand per your letter dated 4-30-03. This issue will ultimately be settled by arbitration IAW the Collective Bargaining Agreement as outlined in the second paragraph of your letter, and barring success in that arena, in court.
Although I do not wish to sound repetitive I must restate my request for information contained in my letter of response to your proposed action, dated 4-14-03, that being a list of proscribed language or verbiage that is prohibited in the workplace. You threaten me with termination in your Letter of Reprimand yet are coy in regards to what language is acceptable in the workplace. If you refuse to respond as requested please have the professional courtesy to respond in the negative. Some framework definition is required in this matter, and to date the silence has been deafening.
I will take this occasion to address another aspect of my letter that needs amending even though it may be too late. I was interrogated by Ms. Gettig regarding my use of THE WORDS, and later signed acknowledgment of the transcript of that event. My mind was in such turmoil at that juncture that I overlooked a not inconsequential aspect of the text and my admission. The spelling used in the text was âF--- Youâ, and being no stranger to phonics I overlooked the fact that my words were in fact spelled âPh--- Youâ. They sound the same. The origin of this phrase precedes us by many centuries and in fact has evolved through many changes since the original âPlucking the Yewâ*. This is probably beyond allowable time frames for this process, but I felt compelled to set the record straight nonetheless.
In addition I must expand on my reference to the Athol intersection in ZMA airspace. Well, I have subsequently discovered a plethora of such intersections on the ERIDS system and other FAA sources. I feel compelled to acknowledge my total lack of understanding on the subject of propriety concerning intersection names. As these names are in the NAS data base I am left with little choice but to assume they are indeed acceptable verbiage in the workplace and as it appears that context is irrelevant I will feel free to use them as deemed appropriate. I will list them for you for the record with the state of location in closed parenthesis. Before I start however, I just want you to know that I consider this entire thing FUBAR (AZ). Did you know that COLIN (VA) is right next door to NUTTS (VA)? COLLN (CO) isnât. At least LOINS (IA) is separated from BEAVR (TX) by BUTCH (OK). What a relief! But it gets worse, sorry. Do you think there is a hidden meaning in the placement of BUSSH (TN) just across the border from NUDEE (NC) and SLITT (NC)? You probably know that DIKEE (AK) is a long way from there but itâs in the same place as NAKED (AK), geographically speaking. If I lived on the east coast I might be concerned about my neighbors with DICKE (NJ) and LICKK (NJ) on their mind. There is some symmetry however in that JUGGS(ID) is several time zones separated from RACKE(FL) and CRACK(AK). Is this just another SNAFU(NJ)? What kind of ATHOL(FL) allowed this to happen? BABEE(NY) and BABBE(MI) are probably not the same, just as COLON(SC) and GASHE(OR) are different. Some people like to SWALO(MA), some shake their BOOTY(WI), some think MUFFE(FL) is SEXXY(IL), and out west we have DIVER(TX) and DIVVR(TX), but maybe they are of different persuasion. The message from the heartland is not ambiguous however since they prefer COOCH(NB).
You may think that would conclude the list of intersections that detail various body parts or have graphic reference to sex. DONYA(MI) bet your BOOTE(IN) on it BAABE(OH). Iâm just getting warmed up on this FAKKR(CA). I want you to understand by the way, Iâm not giving you the FINGR(TX) in a metaphorical sense. Just trying to define what is acceptable. If you find that my methodology does not AMUZE(AL) you, remember that I asked for your guidance on three prior occasions. Well, on with the show.

Tell me this is one big FOPAW(OK), please. It makes me want to consider getting DRUNK(MA) with some HOOCH(PA) or BEERS(PA), or high on GANJA(TX) or WEEDD(CA) or GRASS(WI) or JUNKE(KS).

I mean, I've never seen anyone take a word you can literally copy/paste or highlight/control c then control v or just [bleep] write down on a sheet of paper and re-type like deflave and turn it into "devlarve".
This part of the forum is simply a no holds barred, freak show. Pure and simple. Accept it as that. It's the kind of place you must become comfortable with when posting say in a thread about your proposed obituary photo!
Btw, here's mine! The kids have already picked it out!!!
The really good schidt is elsewhere. And there's really a lot of good schidt to be had!
In my family if you don't have thick skin you are schit out of luck. I remember my first few posts here when I got a hardy GFY from ClarkDaveTravis. I posted back and jokingly said that I hope that means "Good For You" and was quickly informed that it did not LOL. I knew then I was among some folks that did not take themselves or an internet forum too seriously. So to the OP, sorry you are butthurt over the lighter side of life. Devlarvefe is our favorite sociopath and we are keeping him. GFY and BYE...!
Always a bummer to see a good guy go. But this is a pseudo hunters campfire, thick skin and fiery wit recommended. Actually tamer than some actual campfires I've been around over the last 40 years.

I find some discussions turn into a "pile" on " easily. Politics particularly , but to be well informed a person has to respectfully listen to opposing views.

It doesn't mean "good for you"? I wonder what everybody has been saying to me all these years.
When I started on the Campfire years ago I thought I would contribute and also learn from others about various subjects. Recently I learned that there are some who respond to posts that are nothing more than an effort to insult and call other's names. This is not a way to learn or to exhibit your opinion. Calling people "stupid" nor using the the "f'' Word is common. I have never criticized any one who has expressed their opinion or advice. There are some who have posted thousands of posts that do nothing but criticize and make one-liner disparaging remarks. The main one that comes to my mind is "devlavre' I have never seen a positive contribution from him as long as I have been on The Campfire. Only insults and disparaging remarks. Not one positive remark. So, with some regret, I will no longer become a member of your fine Blog Thanks to all you people who have been a positive effect and bye to Dave. I have no time to read a bunch of your negative remarks. You should see your Shrink.
Well you should have probably should have just left without your proclamation, for far from making anyone stop and think about civility, you instead just gave many what they live for.

You make a good point. But you have to admit many of the responses kind of proved the OP's point as well.
I think my friend Kaywoodie was spot on in his comments.
I haven't had time to read the whole thread, so apologies if someone has already suggested this to the OP, but why quit the campfire? Why not just complain to his employer?

New to this forum, lurked for a bit. But a thread like this seems needy. If you want to leave, just stop posting. No drama.
I have no knowledge of the incidents. But in general, it is sad how thin skinned people have become. Especially men. Espcially on topics that are manly.
I'd welcome you here, but first you need to take the test we all have to...
The OP has a man bun.......has to......manbun... Enough said...
I'll never understand why someone posts threads like these, if you don't like some of the posters here just put them on ignore or don't read their posts. Life ain't that complicated.
