I need ya'lls help.
#1

I was researching my name through Yahoo and came across an article where I was called "disgusting and selfish for using a bow" and condemned for letting an animal wonder in pain for 6 hours. He quoted from my Recovery Thread. My quote and slander is just over half way down the page. What a clown and obvious slanted anti/animal whacko. Have at it. The slam was by a replier name higherthinking towards the bottom of the page.

There is no privacy on the internet. Google and yahoo search engines are constantly recording the data we write. I wouldn't worry about it Rob. It takes a hunter to understand one and we will never change that.

I agree with MOTOWNHONKEY. Anything a person writes on the internet can be taken and used in their own way or agenda. I read through the article and that person that responded is ignorant to anything related to hunting. He doesn't understand that pushing that animal would have resulted in far less ethical results than waiting the appropriate amount of time. Also, it is far worse to have them run over and hit with cars only to suffer much more than an arrow or bullet. I bet it's not the first time either. I can understand your anger, I was angered at such a pathetic attempt at slander but like Motownhonkey said, it takes a hunter to know what a hunter thinks.

Rob, I read the article word for word.
That guy is a jagoff and no amount of arguing will ever penetrate his narrow mind.
As an ethical outdoors enthusiast, I understand the benefit of your post, as I did when you posted it originally. This guy is obviously ignorant of the entire process and will never realize that the buck in question died quickly and without struggle. Nor will he ever be able to understand or even entertain the thought that your post was a very positive and educational post that could very well have saved countless numbers of future animals from real suffering by being pushed too early.
As angry as you must be, I really don't see any recourse. Commenting on this guys blog will likely only feed his ego and he will NEVER be able to understand, nor will he EVER care to try. I had started a long winded reply to him but honestly I really feel it is beneath me. His opinion isn't worth the time it would take for me to register with the site.
A Google search on Rob Poorman resulted in 99 hits and a Google search on Rob/PA Bowyer resulted in 3,250 hits. I challenge anyone to find just one disgusting and selfish comment on any of these 3350 web pages.
To me, the name Rob Poorman can literally be defined as: an Ethical Moral Honest and Dedicated Outdoorsman/Teacher
And I thought the other guys's response was the best response to an anti that I've ever read!
I'm sorry that I can't help - I sincerely wish I could

Rob let me tell you one thing. I have learned more from you about archery than my own dad taught me. I know it sucks when somebody says something bad about you, but be rest assured there are alot more people out there saying, "Hey Rob thanks for your help."
Dont let it phase you even though its hard. You keep doing what you are doing. Teaching other to be eithical in their hunting.

I was confused when I first read the post but after re-reading it a couple of times I see that the blog creator, Jim Beers, is the one who answered the anti's question so well.
Then it was another blogger, Higherthinking, that pulled out Rob's quote.
That blogger, Higherthinking, has ZERO blogs of his own on that site.
So, it looks to me Rob like you could easily explain your position yourself on this blog and/or request that Jim Beers pull the other jag's comments.
Perhaps, this is now worth my time to register.
