Yes really, All I hear from the master baiters is I'm right, you're wrong... I'm great, you suck.. I'm sure you have seen the type, If you say the sky is blue, they compose a ten thousand word diatribe about how inaccurate you are and you are causing the ruination of mankind. Think of the debate about whether you vote counts from the past and the pointless thousand posts with two guys basically sticking their tongues out at each other. I guess I'm a fan of talk less, say more.


Quit bullying people by name calling.

I hope G and Dave read "Executive Orders" and "The Bear and The Dragon". Good stuff. Good escape. A bit off but not much.

Like I have said, have no problem with the politics being in a forum as on here, it has allowed those that wish the opportunity to discuss politics without all the whining from those that could not help themselves from clicking on the threads on those other sites.

But I would like gonefshn to provide an example of the "bullying" he claims is going on here on NA. This was a complaint often bantered about over on FBO during the blow up by a small group. It was what caused Toby to ban members and ultimately kill that site.

Besides, I thought the negative rep system was supposed to be able to deal with any of that sort of thing?

Oh well, those of us that wish to converse about issues that govern us can go to the forum, you guys can talk about make believe football and golf in between threads about hunting and fishing.

And you were forced to click on those threads and read them how?


Because I was interested in the topic and wanted to learn something, I know you think you are a most elegant writer and teacher and have a great grasp of many subject but the way you blather on detracts from the conversation. I did not intend to attack you per se, as others are far more "annoying" for lack of a better word. I am actually impressed with your presence on this website.

Easy answer, FBO was fun and generated a ton of page views in its prime. It worked and worked well for years. People enjoyed the conversations and the camaraderie there. They tried to change it and everyone left. Why not recreate what people enjoyed and worked, while the audience is still here, instead of trying to be something different, which may not work? It sounds to be like NDA is trying to be what FBO tried to turn into (minus the heavy handed moderation) instead of taking the opportunity they have to BE WHAT FBO WAS, that kept people there for many years...

Personally if this site is just fishing/hunting, I might check it daily, but if more is allowed, I would probably be more involved. Outdoors related information is great, but there is only so much entertainment value there. Allowing political discussions would keep people involved and active more than they are now. Sure there are places available that are dedicated to discussing politics, or whatever else, but there are also much larger communities around dedicated to discussing outdoors topics too. This is kind of a niche market and restricting people by removing certain topics from peoples view, IMO, will only hurt this site down the road.

I agree. Now give me the digits! ;:;boozer
