Is anyone else getting really sick of the teachers unions radio ad -THREAD?

[gbk]

First of all -NO offence to the OP.
Great topic,great debate. Thank You for starting it.

Secondly-i by no means challenge anyone's freedom of speech. We -You-Us,can say whatever, and whenever. Post on this very forum too.
As long as it is with respect-reason-common sense -good taste-certain level of common interest-so on..............

Thirdly-i am no better or different than any of us here ,and i do know it is on OFF TOPIC,and i clearly know THIS very THREAD i am starting has no bearing on anyone..................

BUT

Boy oh boy-i am wondering ,when this useless debate will ever end? Perhaps on Thursday the Deer hunting starts-perhaps we as hunters shall/will focus on that......perhaps the moderators will fed up one day ,with all this back and forth.
I do not condone no ones stand(i posted few times there too-so my view is likely clear)but man oh man.............

Respect to all members!

On the plus side, it's at 80 pages and hasn't been shutdown yet. That is a big deal for one of those types of threads - it shows that members are able to debate without degenerating into childish name calling.
You don't have to read the thread - I don't.

I kinda like the thread, some good info can be found when you filter out the personal shots. I do see both sides of the debate, because there are at least 2 different camps of thought. It does go to show just how different the thought patterns are for folks that have 1 main topic that draws them together in the end, the great outdoors.

Unfortunately, due to a continued amount of disrespect on the Teachers' Radio Ad thread, the thread has been closed down. I had hoped I wouldn't have to remind a hearty community of adults that name-calling and disrespecting people's career/professions is a violation of the Forum's decorum. Moreover, I'd also like to note you cannot possibly compare the stress of hospital work with the stress of working in education. We're all doing our best in these times, and a little kindness goes a long way. Any further commentary on this thread will be policed (a.k.a removed, as that's where we are, now).

Thank you.

LOL! I guess I spoke too soon. Goes to show that I wasn't really following the thread.

[fishermccann]

If disrespecting other peoples career choices is against forum rules , how the heck was exactly that ,allowed to go on for 80 pages?

[MeghanOOD]

Careful.

[MarkB]

Can we just continue on here? LOL ... I'm kidding ... I agree that was a bit excessive!
