Just for the record, folks... Should have explained this better before but when the neck goes red the brain doesn't function properly...
The comment in question:
I have went to the ETAR since it beginning and I feel the 90% of those I watch shoot there shouldn't be allowed in the woods with sharp sticks. See how well that will be received.
You know that an anti-hunter is gonna be licking his chops over a comment like that, and he's certainly NOT going to go back several days in the discussion to ferret out the context in which such comment was made. It may already have been copied, cut and pasted on an anti-hunting website with the comment "Here's what traditional bowhunters say about themselves."
Not to mention that comment is very close to the line, if not 2-3 yards on the OTHER side of the line, of breaking forum rules. Refer to forum rule #4. I have highlighted the key phrase...
4. No topics and/or statements which could be used to reflect poorly on hunting, archery or firearms. Anti-hunting and other posts indicating a stance against the hunting, archery or the firearm industry will be removed and your account will be banned.
Odd that, in all the years I've been participating on this site, I've never once seen this rule enforced when derogatory comments are aimed at traditional bowhunting on the bowhunting forum. Hmmm... [:-]
