I'll tell you something I think I've noticed, but I may be wrong.

All of a sudden I'm seeing a lot of posters whom I've never noticed before. When I take a closer look, they only have a few hundred posts, but it says they have been here for four, five, six years. On only that I'm sure that is possible, but I'm seeing a whole bunch like that all of a sudden.

I'm probably one of those you're talking about.

My story is this. I've lurked for years and then less than two years ago posted for the first time anywhere. Mostly Elk, archery, backpack stuff, nothing major. On some local sites I've done a little more trying to help with new hunters, ect.

Events in the last 7 months have changed my life and outlook. When I broke my leg helping on an elk hunt in sept I had two months of sitting around and used the internet to help me get through it. When Lee24 came into the BP section and started his stuff I really didn't know who he was and when he started in about the Grand Canyon I unleashed all my frustration on the fool.

I do need to go back to just lurking.

The focus of their lives, Obama, has proven that their ideology is a failure. Self preservation demands that they shift focus to preserve what limited mental stability remains intact.

Guys:

Many of you consider that guys like me who do not agree with you 100% of the time are Trolls. Have you given any thought to the obvious that there are lots of guys who have had enough of the extra loud members who choose to insult and attack anyone who has any other opinions then they do. Many of us are just tired of the Us vs Them approach and attack, attack mind set that some on the Forum believe in. The loudest keyboard does not always win. Just look at the visceral reaction to the Palin threads today. Lots of us do not think she is the answer, period. No Trolls and no Sheep! Just guys like you who are not afraid to express an different opinion.

Maybe, with all that Hope & Change out there, they all have a lot of extra time on their hands by virtue of being unemployed...

Usually the local grocery has a nice block wall in the back of the store to beat your head against..I know I found a good spot.

Although I don't agree with much (anything) you've ever said, it's okay with me if you don't like Sarah. But for someone to come in here with that weak-azz schitt about notes on her hand and them the same people chime in with the same tired schitt they always say about herjust to say something....Well, it's just silly and doesn't lend itself to serious discussion.
This isn't all directed at you unless the shoe fits. I don't really remember all you said.
