The worst 10 or 15 posts on that thread are after the first page - stuff I wouldn't even repost to make the point. Folks should probably go read the whole thing for themselves as a reminder of what a significant number of their neighbors are thinking yet will only say anonymously or among like-minded folks. Simply disgusting. Thanks to @Big Fin from keeping this type of crap off of Hunttalk.Holy shit. I guess I am woke.
I read enough of the shit on that site years ago to drop out of it. The actual good information isn't even worth logging in there for. Absolute sewer. mtmuleyThe worst 10 or 15 posts on that thread are after the first page - stuff I wouldn't even repost to make the point.

note: when I say "significant number" I not saying majority, or anything close. But if we say this is the worst 1% that means 3,500,000 of our neighbors. And there is no reason to think a run-of-the-mill hunting forum is the worst 1%, so the actual number is undoubtably much much higher.
Bet if you look close you'll find more HT'ers. mtmuleyI remember when shrapnel showed up here. I figured he got fed up with 24. My mistake, I see he is quite the influencer over there.
I'm one. I found it in 2000 when another forum disbanded and I was surfing for another forum home (member #30 lol). I rarely go to the "Hunters Campfire." That's where the dissafected, racist, insanely right wing, dead-enders hang out. The sub forums can be good, but the overflow from the cesspool at the top of the forum is making it increasingly difficult in even those. The owner there will tolerate anything unless it affects his bottom line. But, I have friends there who I've grown fond of over the years, so I stay on. However, I prefer it here. Civil, with just the right amount of moderation.Bet if you look close you'll find more HT'ers. mtmuley
That’s true, it became a cesspool that hasn’t recovered. However, this site isn’t without it’s heroes and critics either…I remember when shrapnel showed up here. I figured he got fed up with 24. My mistake, I see he is quite the influencer over there.
A big difference between a site where folks getting testy when discussing NR tag allocations and one where folks are throwing around the N-word, comparing humans to apes, dismissing any woman as a bitch, etc.That’s true, it became a cesspool that hasn’t recovered.

No argument there! I don’t understand that mentality and the site owner not telling those guys to refrain from that, but it is his site to moderate or not.A big difference between a site where folks getting testy when discussing NR tag allocations and one where folks are throwing around the N-word, comparing humans to apes, dismissing any woman as a bitch, etc.
You fit in much better over there.That’s true, it became a cesspool that hasn’t recovered. However, this site isn’t without it’s heroes and critics either…
Well, I sure as hell hope at HT they get called out when they do take shots at women. If not, then we have some work to do.No argument there! I don’t understand that mentality and the site owner not telling those guys to refrain from that, but it is his site to moderate or not.
But don’t ignore the negativity that shows up here more than is necessary. There is plenty of cavalier comments by notables here in regards to the demeaning of women to not much more than a sex object.
