I'm not sure if it's the economic news, gas prices you can't count on, the moon or any number of other factors but there are a lot of people that seem to want to spin people up lately. It doesn't seem to take much, a comment here or there taken just slightly askew from what was intended or inferred is enough to send people off the deep end. On a couple other sites I frequent there have been entire threads removed and others severely edited because of things like that. Some long time members are leaving the sites and others have dropped their posts to nearly nothing. While we are all individuals, and as such have different points of view and values, there are still some common denominators here. We enjoy the outdoors, we hunt or fish, we like boats, Hell, some of us even like telling long tall tales too. The point is that if we can't get along with each other and be civil while sitting in our own houses at the computer, how can we expect to behave in a civil manner driving in rush hour traffic? I really like this site and have only seen a couple threads start to wander near the edges of civility. I just hope it stays that way here, I'm certain it will. There are a few other sites where I'll just be reading the posts and contributing a little less to though.
