It is just words!

This is our way to vent from what's happening in the world.

not at all a hoot or taking it too serious just making sure we call a shill a shill......and take their post as such....

And semi, I am glad you have alot of free stuff piled in the corner of your man cave and i am fine with that until you want to post a biased review of that product. If you want to advertise there is a section for that.

You all can say you call at the way it is but, i personally find it hard to believe that getting it for free with the hopes of more free stuff, would not lean towards a favorable review....

Hell, even maybe if the company themselves put up reports and didn't give out free product for the shills....they could sale it cheaper to us poor chumps that have to pay for our hunting gear.

I had to go back and read the thread. You're reading something I don't see.

Yeah. Even the Indians are said to have had a special regard for the mentally impaired. :s3: But I'm a big boy and it doesn't bother me in the least. (My wife says I'm too big of a boy, and keeps trying to reduce my caloric intake. I just shrug that off too.)

I am giving away a bunch of free powerbelts so that must make me a shill. I only hope no one posts good reviews for them. on the other foot the very person you are talking about gave me some Lehigh's and never did he ask for me to post a positive review, I am free to post what I think. He just ask me to try them out and see what I thought. Not everyone can be bought for the price of a few items like you think. Some folks just like to try everything and some folks like to make that possible. I've had stuff given to me from several members here and I don't think they were trying to benefit a company as much as helping out a fellow BP enthusiast.

evidently, because my intentions or post was definatly not aimed at giving semi any grief. nor was i trying to attack him in any way.....other than to say he did the same thing the last time (try to make a joke about it and draw the heat off of grouse) that swthomas and myself called grouse out.....

Sorry if it offends anyone but grouse just sticks in my crawl with his arrogance...At first I figured he had to be from Boston then realized he is worse....and felt i owed bostonians an apology.

I agree but i am sure with grouse with his own ego maniac attitude has let everyone know what all he gets for free and how everyone wants his input.....it is more than just a few items!

Semisane 08-08-2011 01:07 PM

Duel! INRecordBookBuck and Grouse at twenty paces with Boston Cream pies.

Dang Semi, I had to Google shill to even know what it was...My understanding is that
one has to receive compensation from them to be considered a shill...So as long as you
aren't on their payroll, you're OK...

Thanks Semi, I learned a new word today... :)

As long as it is boston creme pies and you supply them, I figured you brought them up maybe you had an inside supply, maybe you were shilling for Duncan Hines.....


I do not get my ammo for free like Grouse, does.... :poke:

Me either. But if I could figure out how I damn sure would. To paraphrase Martha Stewart, Free Stuff, It's A Good Thing.

My input is free also. Those that don't want it, doesn't cost them a thing not to listen.

thats cool grouse but keep advertising for knight and lehigh....and we will soon be done with you....i will keep sending the post to the admins on HNI and let them know how they are loosing dollars for allowing the free advertising that you post on their boards

eventually they will see the problem and realize it is hurting their bottom line by allowing such free enterprise and like any business they will put a stop to it....

The real Grouse is locked up in the cellar. Who is this that's posting?

Never seen his posts without some sort of insult.

Semisane 08-08-2011 05:10 PM

Man, I wish hunting season would open. Or at least have a break in the heat so everyone could go out and shoot targets instead of each other.

Muley Hunter 08-08-2011 05:17 PM

What heat? It was 40degrees in the mountains today.

MountainDevil54 08-08-2011 05:17 PM

32 more days baby!!! Hopefully i can find a muley on the colorado side. If not, new mexico starts on sept 24th. Its nice hunting 2 states! Didnt like the cost but it will be worth it IMO.

Gm54-120 08-08-2011 05:23 PM

Simple way to solve it is called ignore.

The hard way is no links to any companies or other forums that have sponsors. They all must be in Pms.This would include no links in the sig line too. Also all sponsored endorsements or reps would get a tag under their name showing they are a rep for that company. Then you know which threads are started by "reps" and you don't have to open it.

I see topics about say.....Which is better..a XTP or a GoldDolt and someone chimes in..."try a Thor or Lehigh or Barnes instead. Well that's just plain rude. The OP didn't ask about those and nearly everyone is guilty of doing it......so good luck enforcing it. If the OP asks about other option later then fine. So fair is fair or respond to what is asked by the OP.

MM for instance has no sponsors atm and some reps have a "tag" and info in the user profile. Some just lurk anon and don't post much but it helps them bring items out we want.

Nice Muley. And you had the luxury of going for a long walk of several miles and hours and making a faux hunt. (How do you cook a faux?)

If I did that right now, sometime in the Fall one of the guys in my hunting club would find my coyote chewed bones in a thicket somewhere with a few shreds of dehydrated hide on them.

20 shilling make a sterling pound but the question is how many pence make a shilling?

Muley Hunter 08-08-2011 05:29 PM

Use Thors.

I need more exercise - gained about 240 shillings over the summer.

(Are we not desperate, and to be pitied?)

mountaineer magic 08-08-2011 05:38 PM

I am pretty sure that would be 12 and 240 in a pound

mountaineer magic 08-08-2011 05:47 PM

12 is correct so how many pence did semi gain?

CalHunter 08-09-2011 07:48 AM

Gentlemen,

Apparently the first warning didn't work. This is the 2nd warning (strike) and last warning. If you continue to violate the rules, it's strike 3. If you don't understand "strike 3," I suggest you conduct an internet search on the baseball term and make sure you understand it.
