Is this a grown man's bowhunting forum or a kids craft store?
Are men getting this feminized? I can't believe some of the threads I'm seeing started and posts I'm reading. Sorry if someone got offended, but may you should get some masculinity.
-
No cook, I don't want to get technical. I want to get real. I don't need to hear any manbe chamby liberal propaganda. I want to hear about real men hunting, not the scissification of the american male.
Thanks to whatever admin or moderator pulled this nonsense before me. We don't need justification for sissification.
-
I must have missed the fireworks, but i'm not sure why we're getting technical on a traditional bow hunting forum anyway.
I agree and hope this forum doesn't drift fem.

I saw it! "If you want to get technical" :biglaugh:

Missed the fireworks as well. Probably would have put me in “jail”.

No, I am more the “macho” type. Until a few years ago anything under 60#’s was a girly bow.

I saw the comment that this thread might offend liberals. Got news for ya, this WHOLE site offends liberals Sherlock.
-
Well, whoever made that comment is probably a liberal themselves because liberals get offended over a hang nail.

Yep!!!

I saw the last post, a liberal worried about other liberals. Great, just great, and just what this site needs. Geeeezzzz
-
I don't know how to add a like to a post, but I like whiskey's post.
-
I agree the rules say no politics. Therefore the original poster who posted politics was pulled. Thank you moderators and whoever did it but cause it doesn't belong. Those that continue to perpetuate it should also be pulled. Which it looks like it has been thanks again moderators for keeping this site manly,and not a kindergarten playground or some sort of hidden agenda political outlet.
-
I must be late to the party also. I'm thankful for the moderator who pulled any liberal garbage off this side. Rob and I have been fighting this for twenty years, And i'm glad we didn't have to step into this one. If you are liberal and don't like triggering or don't like that, we pull liberal stuff. Get lost, I don't care how long you've been here. I'm not putting up with liberal b*******, Go support your local drag Queen show at
the elementary library. You sick baaaaasards
Someone please email me who complained. And who wrote about liberalism on this site. Anyone who supports pedophilia does not belong here.
-
Not sure I'd call it complaining, Terry, but I'll save someone the trouble of emailing you my information. I raised my concerns about the wisdom of this thread - both the political dog-whistling and the pointed denigration of new members of TradGang trying to learn something from all the folks here. My post got pulled, which I expected it would. I've long suspected that such one-sided policing has been occuring here.
I appreciate your up-front honesty about what politics are allowed here and what aren't. It's hypocrisy and a blatant misapplication of the stated rules that you like to parade about, but all the same, it is good to see where you stand.
I'll be honest, folks, this site is turning into an ugly place. It has been pointed out before, though usually those comments have been removed as well. I love this sport of ours, and there are precious few places to find so many knowledgeable minds thinking about the same things. But the frequency in which we have to wade through nonsense like this is ever increasing.
Ultimately it is the responsibility of the moderators to clean this up. Your response, Terry, is disappointing but expected and true to form. I wish you the best, honestly, it's gotta be an immense burden to carry all the anger expressed in this thread.
-
Well, I never intended to add to this thread, but at this point things have gotten out of hand enough that I believe I'll add my 2 cents and get out. First off, and I never thought I'd have to say this on here. I'm not a liberal, but I have nothing against those on here who choose to vote that way. Every one is free to their own views, and I think for Terry to lump them all into one group and accuse everyone of the things that he just has is ridiculous, and for lack of a better word, childish. It seems Mr. Green has forgotten that without members, TradGang will have no content, discussions, success photos, etc. as the member bashing has gotten more and more frequent lately. When I joined TradGang, it was to talk tradional bowhunting with like minded people. It was a great site, and far from the arguing and what not that can be found must other places. It doesn't quite seem to be that way anymore. As someone else posted a few weeks ago, if it's your playground, you get to make the rules. However, if you don't follow your own rules, it's no fun for anyone else. If this keeps up, I might have to go find a different playground to play on...

I’m the guy who was blissfully unaware of how contentious my Grizzly broadheads were. Perhaps the TG welcome page should be updated. I’ve been a member for 13 years and always found that true, till this episode.
-
I do not owe loyalty to any political party, and have lots of opinions about both sides, but never made a political post on this forum.
While I recognize the amount of work that people put into managing this forum, I expected others to be held to the same rules I abide. Seeing moderators and administrators breaking them is shameful.
-
What I think is funny is the folk's that complain and call Trad Gang and ugly place are still here just like Whoopi Goldberg and the rest still in the USA. How we know is that little box by you name when it's green you on Trad Gang. If this gets' taken down I understand you should of seen the first draft

Comments by Bamboozle do not meet the “expect to be respected” criteria. Making fun of people and belittling them shows a lack of maturity on your part. For the record, I don’t think a 33# bow should be permitted for big game hunting nor a 7/8” wide broadhead. Nor should offensive, belittling comments be permitted.
-
I would like to point out this: After his shoulder replacement, Ron LeClair hunted with a 35 pound bow. If you think that meant that Ron turned feminine late in life you might want to reconsider.
As far as nasty and hot-headed responses on this website are concerned, there has been a lot of that recently. Does it violate the rule about respect? I think so.
Wouldn't it be better to just quietly take something that violates the rule of respect down rather than to lash out and violate the rule in response? The last time I checked, two wrongs still don't make a right.
If someone does not like what I have said, take it down -- and do it quietly and respectfully.
-
I think there are some really good people on this forum. That's the reason I keep hanging around. I sort of doubt that if your a bowhunter and been on here a while (meaning your probably not a troll) that we all probably don't think that much differently about the things that matter.
I think we just have a handful of folks here that want to express their thoughts and beliefs in ways that are extremely disrespectful and out of character with the historical culture of this great forum. Unchecked, it becomes a cancer that spreads in the forum and the selective moderating isn't helping things.
-
Not sure why anyone needs to go off on a chauvinist/macho rant. Nothing wrong with a calm discussion of the merits and drawbacks on different energy bows or broadhead widths.
-
I herniated my C-6 with shooting pain down my shooting arm. I switched back from 60lbs to an old reliable 40lber that shoots darts!
Didn’t know I went feminine but might explain why there’s now 4 cats running around and a bathroom counter full of makeup and hair products.

Having a nationwide forum for traditional hunters is a good thing. There are a few but this is the one i got in because a coupme of friends frequented it.
I saw no mention of "liberal" until someone mentioned they had been a member here a long while, been a traditional bowhunter a lot longer but voted along liberal lines and that shouldnt matter if what we are here for is traditional archery and hunting. His post got removed..
I know I've never cast a vote for a "liberal" candidate. However I know it is generally accepted today if you don't agree with someone's position on something to accuse them of being a liberal and it's supposed to be a character assassination ploy. That accusation as a ploy to shut someone down shouldn't be viewed as strength but should be discouraged.
Trad Gang has some good and knowledgeable folks. I've enjoyed some nice conversations, shared pics and communicated with hunters I only know through this electronic camp.
It does seem these types of threads occur now and then and are allowed, even encouraged, by the selective removal of posts. The person that started this thread bashing another member should have been the one censured. Along with those who joined in on the bashing. Not those who had the courage to call him out on the lack of respect he was showing other members. It shouldn't matter if the bad behavior was from a contributing member or not.

Are you admitting you are fem? :biglaugh:
Maybe Dobbs is not familiar with what an M60 is. Certainly not femi.

And due to shoulder issues I've dropped to 39 lbs.

We never had arguments like this years ago. We can thank the big devider for this mess!
All just to get elected!

This is not a statement with evidence to support it. Shooting a 7/8” griz would be as effective as anything, native Americans shot bird points at deer. Little tiny stone heads because they penetrate amazingly well. I shoot 1”. What’s the difference. I’ve never heard a time when a wide head would’ve beat out penetration. I hear all the time about a lack of penetration with all the crazy heads from any bow. I’d shoot 7/8” Griz all day long. Pair it with a 30# bow with a competent shooter and what’s to fear. Not like you’re going to go kill massive critters with these. It’s deer for crying out loud. A giant deer only needs what, 8” to poke both lungs? Short tracking job. I’ve shot 3 deer already this year with Griz 1” heads. No tracking. You think 1/8” would change that?

Option 1 - if you don't like the thread move on.
Option 2 - follow option 1.
