Saving the integrity of this Forum

[gbk]

I am wondering if there are ways -maybe by the Moderators-to cut out the nonsense,personal attacks,insults and the repeatable major (many times unprovoked )disrespect ,which erode the value of this,otherwise would be very valuable Forum?

Bear starts next month, early goose and waterfowl is September. Things will not change till the fall.

Everyone is bored, the same guys fighting and disagreeing in one thread will be agreeing and getting along in the next..

Missed my point-never talked about arguments.

I am talking respect - in one word!

Bored people still can post intelligent and respectful replies,and can argue whole year on.

In my opinion, the only way to turn this fine forum around is to dump all "Off Topic" forums and keep this an outdoor related forum where we share outdoor related posts.
There are millions of forums out there where you can talk about Religion, Abortions, Politics and other topics that cause idiots to gather and slap each other.

The solution is an easy one - don't read Off Topic - I find it interesting that so many people have so many different views on subjects - I don't get mad at anyone - after all it is only a discussion - why do we want to limit or stop discussions -

Well,if we take a look around,the "off topic" and "politics" threads are the only ones getting any traction at this time. Eliminate those and the silence will be deafening.

Guys don't have to like each other to "RESPECT" each other.

You get all the regular "Brawlers" together on the porch and guess what you'll get? A group of guys that well they still fight, will sit and have a beer together.

Can't say there is no respect.

Also, this off topic area gives all a bunch of different perspectives on various and sometimes inflammatory topics and all the different opinions are voiced by people with 1 BIG COMMON INTEREST...……………. a love of hunting and fishing.
