And who makes that determination, you??. Maybe I feel your questions were a waste of time. When someone makes a post asking a question, they probably feel they are asking a good one. If you need more information, ask them for it politely instead of trying to make them feel like an idiot. As I stated before, everybody had questions at one time. Including you!!
Lets go back to when you first joined. Here is a question I consider vague.

Could also pull up some of your questions about coyote hunting and calling them dogs. A coyote is a coyote, not a dog. Big difference when you are talking about hunting something.
How about this one about your Fox Pro turning on. Wouldnt the best solution have been to call Fox Pro instead of asking the question here? You didnt research that one very well before asking. One phone call would have answered and solved the problem.
Now look at this old post you made. Why dont you tell us what changed your opinion and why you are now doing the exact thing you used to complain about

predator masters is a forum where theoretically we all have a common love for hunting, shooting and the outdoors. if we are all "on the same side" why is there so much name calling, insulting, and overall bashing. it seems that some people read a post and assume that the author means something other than what is written. some will imply that what you wrote is not what you meant. only the author of a post knows what he is trying to get across, how can anyone honestly believe that they know what someone was thinking if that is not what they wrote. it seems these days that if someone's opinion is different, then they are wrong, and will be told so. and when they are told so, insults and name calling should be expected. if someone says the bullet diameter of a 223 is .226, then they are wrong. there is no need to belittle them. however if someone says 223 is a better round for deer than anything else in the whole world, they have a different OPINION. that doesnt mean that they are wrong, they just disagree. there is no need to call them lazy, stupid, arrogant, a jackass, or any other derogatory term. it is just a difference of OPINION. nor should anyone ASSUME that they have used a 223 for deer unless they stated that, nor should they assume that they mean mule deer unless they have stated that, nor should they assume that the guy must be a poacher because he likes 223. only what the person puts in the post is relevant.
there is also no need to get into semantics just to continue badgering someone. most of us here are not secretaries that can type 200 words a minute, sometimes things are abbreviated for the purpose of not having to type out an entire paragraph to explain.
i am on other forums that are not gun or hunting related and have seen almost none of the bickering, name calling, and hatred that is found here. i am not saying that everyone here is that way, i have found many people here that arent quick to judge and bust balls. but what is it that makes some on hunting and gun forums so belligerent?
i have an active thread where i asked a legitimate question and was very quickly insulted personally with a genuine hatred by some. i have responded in a manner that i probably shouldnt have. i have taken to "stirring the pot" a bit, by intentionally posting things that i know will rile people up. the people posting the hatred do not see the reversal of roles, they simply up the ante and come right out with more personal insults.
if you dont like what someone wrote because you differ with their opinion, you can respond with your opinion without telling them that they are an idiot. or you can just move on and not post anything at all.

you are kidding right. have you nothing better to do than look up old posts? and then try to imply they something that they do not?
i did call foxpro with the issue, but you made the assumption that i did not.
a coyote is a dog.
i have not changed my opinion, where in this thread did i make someone out to be an idiot? where in this thread did i call someone a name? in the post of mine quoted, it references people being attacked personally NOT their opinion. i do not see anywhere in this thread that i attacked anyone personally.
strikes me as you are doing EXACTLY what you are accusing me of. but as a moderator, you are the almighty.
