As for earning my respect, you may not want to, and you certainly dont have to. But it feels a lot better when people respect you in this life, and being a moderator on a hunting forum, I would want to portray hunting and myself in the most positive, friendly light that I could. Apparently this isnt one of your concerns though.
It certainly does but as you well know this is the internet and there is only so much that a person can learn about another through this media. There are many people here that just come here to aggrivate or irritate or take negative stances etc. so that being said I am not going to spend my time trying to earn the respect of every single person here. I am just not going to do it. I don't live my life trying to please other people and trying to make others like me and to be honest I feel sorry for those that do. I do however try to paint hunting in a positive light as well as this website and I don't think I misrepresented either one by saying that I disagreed with your generalizations that anyone who would shoot two deer before tracking the first one was unethical. Now to get back to the point at hand, do you still think it is unethical if I heard a deer crash but didn't see him crash?
