ChrisJones 7,975 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) People are here for all kinds of reasons. Best bet is not to bite. Some post purely to get your backs up. Others have hidden agendas. Some are better at it than others and are infiltrating our ranks to expose what the ban couldn't stop. Be careful what you post and be suspicious of everyone. Everything posted on this forum is cached by search engines. It could be used against you/us in the future, either as evidence in court or in a bid to ban what fieldsports are left. Suspicion may not be warranted in a lot of cases but it is healthy and will protect you. EDIT: If that's the original Merle then he's one of the good guys. Account probably got deleted due to inactivity although it's probably best to check with IanB. Edited February 21, 2008 by ChrisJones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ratman2 2 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 There's a common theme with the rush of newbies at the moment, anyone else noticed?? they all seem to be using the same dictionary, probably the Oxford Multi Facet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mole catcher 1 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 come on folks, calm down a little we all know its wise to have a little healthy suspicion of folk over a pc screen but of late on here it seems many want to mount a witchhunt as soon as a member either dissagrees with a topic or shows a little lack of common sence or knowledge. what we must not forget is not all new comers have the mantle of a father or uncle who can and will take them under their wing and not only give them the knowledge to hold their own on a site such as this, but to also show them a way in which to conduct themselves. Im sure if were all honest with ourselves and look back to when we were young we could think of an instance were we have engaged are mouths before our brains. this doesnt meen there on here to cause trouble or have hidden agendas it just proves they need some guiedance. If we as the so called adults turn our backs on them and push them off here were do they go to get their knowledge? they end up looking on places such as youtube and see all the idiots on there. they see short films of things such as animal cruielity that have been posted under the heading of hunting and think this is the way to conduct themselves. turn them away now at this age where we should be giving them guiedance and you will loose them for good, loose them now and hunting looses the next generation. none of us are perfect by a long chalk, but in all honesty i cant say i blame the youngsters for some of their behaviour not when you see adults behaving in the way some of them do on here. in my own opinion this site needs to be more tolarant and helpfull and not so bigoted towards those with a lesser understanding and knowledge than our own now watch the abuse come my way in the mature adult fashion that it surely will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
