svn , here is something for you to give a bit of thought to. I really do not care if someone like plainsman agrees with me or not on this issue on this site or any others.
A few different times over the years on three different sites he has tried "extending an olive branch" only to later pull the same tired shit of posting lies and false accusations he can not substantiate with fact on certain issues we can almost predict anymore.
Fool me once shame on you, (Nodak Outdoors) fool me twice shame on me(FBO) fool me three times (NDA) then I'm an idiot.
He once accused my son (14 at the time) of "Georges" (dollar bills) being the motivating factor for the FFA project he had raising and releasing pheasants over his obsession about "greedy farmers/ranchers".
It is not about being "butt hurt", it is about peoples integrity and credibility. There are people on here I do not agree with all the time, but they are credible in what they post and have the integrity of fact and truth behind what they post that cause me to respect them and what they post even if I do not agree. And as such often times I simply say nothing.
So I really don;t care what he does with his olive branch at this point. I really desire to have nothing to comment back and forth with him until he starts posting untruths as he does on issues that are important to me and at that point I will show them to be what they are.
Down the road if he accepts the truth and fact of what is posted when it is proven to be such.....great.........if not he will be the same person we know him to be.......one which would rather claim to be this Constitutional conservative while he tell lies about the people involved in making known our govts unjust actions rather than holding that govt accountable for those unjust actions. One not unlike these protesters at Stand Rock willing to lie to get people to support their "side". One that hates a group so much they do not care about the consequences of telling lies.
Had he not specifically called out fritz and I in this thread, nothing would have been said, as it was I merely asked if he would acknowledge the truth when it was presented to him, and instead of a simple honest answer yes (a true "olive branch) here we are.

We have Red Fawn in custody in Stutsman county. I think we better be ready for a few idiots around here. Cancer has a tendency to spread.
If there was a world war again and countries A and B agree on 95% of things and disagree with C on 75% of things what should A and B do when C attacks? I would think self preservation says A and B put aside their 5% disagreement before they become slaves to C. If Trump could get along with Putin and solve the Mideast problem would we be for that or are we so ticked at Russia that we would risk war with them because we are butt hurt?
If we are talking in quaint comparisons...........We would be a fool not to think Russia would not attack us if they thought they could gain something significant enough in the process. And if Russia's disingenuous nature and actions ultimately undermined what we believed in, once again we would be fools to let down ones guard. So is Russia actually extending an olive branch or just biding their time trying to win support of the masses?
But I like to be a bit more direct.
My Mom always told us kids if someone lies to you or about you once, they will do it again.
Integrity and credibility still mean something even if it is to fewer and fewer people all the time.
pluckem is spot on about what this has become the people behind are accomplishing their goals. I will be surprised at this point is this is ended without bloodshed. Perhaps a month of -20 is the answer.
