Not Real Keen On The "Addict" Thing....
 

I have asked the Moderators to stop referring to their most loyal "customers" as addicts, but to no avail.

Since I am approaching the 2,000 Post point (over the course of about 4.5 years) and am about to labelled an "addict" in the system, I am abandoning ELKampMaster and will post under EKM.

I sure no one really cares; however, on the other hand, someone is sure to complain about the appearance of posting concurrently under two user names; that is not my intention, hence the explaination.

You guys that "know" me,are awareI'm a "word specific" kind of guy, so that is just kinda the way it is....

One'spath and indentity can be charted by others or ones self,
I prefer to take control.... myself.

Be advised, No one will listen to anything you say because you are a "fawn". Not that anyone listened before[8D]

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Oh, well.... what else is new?

Now that I'm a lowly fawn and forgotten all I have experienced, is it okay for me to use the "bambi" term again, as in bambi-popping?

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

:DBambi popping.

I'm going to kill bambi's daddy this weekend, Hopefully!

Welcome new guy.;)

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

EKM, always enjoy your posts and especially the elk hunt ones. You're always welcome no matter what the call sign is...

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Oh,... come on and tell us the REAL reason that you're giving up this title! I'll bet a woman was at your elk camp for the first time this year and TOOK the title from ya:DTell us the truth, we all expect it from ya!;)

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Sorry, nothing that juicy.
That said, never underestimate the power of the cook in camp....
Never a good idea to get on the wrong side ofthe cook.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Wow your nuts to think of it reffered to as an addict and you take offense to that! this site is addictive which shortened is Addict so i guess you are!! :D

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

cb
verb-noun, oneimplies the other.
That is what I resist.
My choice.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

I bet your "cook" calls you a "hard headed b@st@rd" on occasion as well????

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Since you are so word specific, maybe you should not refer to cowboy4513 as cb, he might take offense.

Signed,

I don't really care about the number of posts to my name. It may seem like I am a newb to these forums because I made this account the at the beginning of this year, but I started posting sporadically here under a different name back in 2004 I believe.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Here, I even found my old account info. Don't turn me in- I'm just posting under this account to see when I joined and how many times I posted. Then windriverhunter will cease to exist once again.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

Why did you get rid of him? You said crappy things to porky?
Anyway, I think EKM is crazy. Everybody's an addict for some period of time. Heck, this is the best hunting forum around.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

EKM, I completely agree with your reasoning. If you don't like the label, why should youacceptit being applied to you. If everyone just looked over the little stuff, over time how cananyone be surprised when they realize what is lost. Everything acculuates over time.

There is a word for it, but all to many people forget it exists. It is called principle.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

USUALLY, probably not in this case, but USUALLY when someone takes great offense to being labeled.........the label is right on. Just my observation.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

I must be losing my touch if this is being construed as "great offense"....

Well, people will believe what they will choose to believe and there islittle changing that, while on here I have sure learned that much.

Way back in the beginning the idea of being a "life" member was kinda appealing, took a long time to get there (1000) and that was the highest level.Later they added this new "improved" category of "addicted to HNI". I was notthat far along yet and even asked them "behind the scenes" to rename it to something a little more appropriate and a little less self-serving from their stand point (internet sales/advertising statistics). All to no avail, so if I'm to stick to my guns, I'm the one that has to change.... some folks on the other hand, just "roll over."

I started the first post with, "I'm sure no one really cares...." and simply intended it as an explanation of what was going on and that I didn't mean any funny business or wasn't trying to do "double posting".The arm chair psychologists seem to be having a good time with it, but hey what is else is new?

=================================
On the brighter note, our CWD test on our elk meatcame back negative, so we're getting into the elk backstraps tonight, they've been marinading for24 hours now. Yum! Yum!

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
 

I was just funnin with ya. :D

Congrats on the elk meat. Sure wish I was joining you.

RE: Not Real Big On The "Addict" Thing....
