Let's see if I've got this straight:

1. Someone asks for an opinion on controlled pheasant hunts.

2. I give my opinion, yet prefaced with a "we can disagree but we're all on the same team so let's act like it" line intented to soften any unintended blows I might land.

3. Tyleetess responds to my post with indignation dripping from his mouse. His sarcasm is thick enough to warrant waders while you're reading it and a hot shower when you're done. He hates my opinion. Apparently even the one inviting him to drink a beer on my tailgate at the end of the hunt.

4. I correct the sweeping generalizations made about me and reinforce my meaningless opinion again.

5. Tyleetess snaps and throws words around like "narrow-minded" and "tunnel-visioned hunters" while claiming I have ripped into other hunters in the process of voicing my opinion.

You know what heats me up? When people attack the person and not the opinion. Think I'm wrong on this subject? Think I'm way off base and hunting pen-raised birds serve a higher purpose? Prove it. Convince me and everyone else you're right with valid, well-crafted arguments and not "must be nice to live in your world" third-grade rhetoric.
