Del,
Let us not go there. He has strong opinions, and this venue is important to him, and he has great experience in the shooting world. I do not worry about testing wills with him, indeed look forward to it. Please, all the best to everyone, young and old.
That may be the case but this question just throws more gas on the fire.
Maybe I'm in a pissy mood today but I'm just plain tired of all the bickering, name calling and complaining.
While I'm in the mood.....
I'm tired of the multitude of duplicate questions. Apparently the search icon remains a mystery to many.
I'm tired of people complaining that "something" has to be done to remove the village idiots, yet they fail to report the violator, expecting others to do so. Who do you think has gotten most of these idiots off the sight?
More than one person has implored everyone to ignore the questions from the village idiots, yet we continue to acknowledge and encourage them by posting comments.
We fail to utilize the Message Board and clog the Answers section with lots of useless drivle...
Can you tell I'm in a good mood?
I DO ENJOY legitimate questions and answers. At age 54, I still learn some things on here....
Nuff sed....
+1 buckeye... I too seemingly am growing tired...
I wonder if I will be on the sight as weather changes?
to much to do, garden, golf, fish, spend time with little one...
it seems a hassle now to put up with endeavors, although the insight I have got is great.
so...no more fuel for fire...just no more fire.
Really depends on the time of the month!!!
He contributes too many "good" things, and I think we all go through a rough patch on this site as I have a while back LOL
Yes, he has worn it out. I don't think the dubious expertise he claims to impart is worth the childish destructive behavior he subjects us to week after week. He just won't grow up and I'm tired of it. I can expect the "kids" to act up and do dumb stuff on the forum. And I can tolerate it because they are kids and not "grown up" yet. But this guy supposedly put in 20 plus years in the military and still he acts like one of the "village idiots"?
He has in my opinion, I have called him out on it too, and tried to make peace between you 2, and the others. He then proceeds to attack me, but whatever. He does contribute many good things, but the arguments aren't worth that much to me. I don't know about you guys, but I think all the bickering takes away from the site and scares people away from it.
agreed he has gone over the line
no offense but kyle sometimes goes over the line to get people off the f&s site
in conclusion we all need to act wise on here
The only reported 1 and that was from last night. The tennesseedeerhunter and buckmaster02 I just want to point out to them that they can get kicked off. So do I want to loose people on here no, but I also belive that stuff like last night should not be tolerated with folks that want to be on here.
respectfully kyle
I agree with Alex new people see the site and see all the bickering and arguing and give a very poor image of the site. I also feel the same as others that it need to stop for everyone's sake. We talk all the time about always having to present a good professional image because other wise we make are selfs easy target for criticism and attacks from anti-hunting groups well guys what do think this is doing. Please just give it up or if you need to continue send each other e-mails then the rest of us don't have to put up with it and you won't be creating negative images on this site.
I agree Kyle. Wrongfully posting a whole bunch of nonsense or same thing...
or even rasict remarks.
But we all have to remeber that in cyber world just because someone says something does not mean a thing, that is why I really enjoy the pictures that encompany.. NOW don't get all bent "happy" it is an opinion, you do not have to prove a thing to me...I repeat I enjoy the pictues and ones that either your in or relating to you as an individual. it adds to the character of what your saying.
and yes the bickering, well, enough is enough.
I have no idea of what or who you are talking about, maybe I don't get on here enough. Tell me or better e-mail. Hope it's not some other foul mouthed punks as before.
matt wasson said "and yes the bickering, well, enough is enough."
Yes, I'm done. Folks on here can do as they please. I was on the planet 58 years, 2 wars, a dozen county fairs, 6 rodeos, a hog callin', and a mule pullin' without the bull$%^@ from his a$$.
Not until a full confession of the BS like the man he sys he is will it be OK again. If the subject in question thinks he has done nothing wrong, well that's his perogative too. I'm out of it, I don't need it.
i find my self caught in the middle, i like and respect Clyy as i do most of you, Clay isnt the only one on the site who has and still is acting like the village idiot to some extent. yes he has tried to to cause a stir but most of you havent acted any better than him in your answers, and even a few questions. remember " a soft answer turns away wrath but grieveth words stir up anger"
and im also on Kyles side, yes he does try and get people off the site, but usually you can tell with in 2 or 3 post if the person is really on here for advice or just on here to stir up trouble. give me all the -1 you want because i dont agree with the majority. this is just what i believe.
I guess the "war" is still on huh?
Not me!
C. C. Rider?
I'm very happy that Happy and Kenton got to answer this with excellent responses first. This really wasn't necessary and just adds to the BS. Y'all are "so high school" lately. I expect more from you old fogies.
shane
I understand your point and it is well taken. I'm staying on my side of the DMZ. I also respect Happy Myles's and Kenton's inputs. The usual suspect is still up to his tricks on another thread even now, but I digress.
Over and out.
i gotta figure out what happened here!
Mr. Happy Myles, I couldn't have said it any better! I've been coming here for years now and I find Mr. Cooper has considerable knowledge on a lot of subjects. As one individual said, he has more than one correct answer and I personally welcome it. As for the “WAR”, I find he is not the problem so Del tell me and the rest of the Gang who in the hell died and made you GOD and Supreme Ruler of Field and Stream!
Hook and bllet you have answered two questions on this forum including the one right here.To partake of the feast one must contribe.Years my fat old butt.
Alabamaoutlaw
He has been reincarnated once more! Sick.
Let us solve this BS once and for all.
Let's ask F&S to publish a user's list of ALL users' active accounts with their IP's and dates that they were activated. I bet that would be interesting, don't you think, CLAY? Hook & Bullet? Ol' Crusty NCO??? SAND BAGGER???
I would bet there are more.
I'm up for it. Publish mine first.
...and then let's see who squawks the loudest.
Publish mine too if you want, but everyone already knows I really exist. Check out my profile. Everything in there but my baby pictures (and I can add some of those if necessary). Speaking of which, a while back I pointed out that Mr. Cooper had placed an image of himself in the profile of one of his aliases (ooops!). Presto! That imaginary person ceased to be active on the forum. No, Clay, I didn't forget! I fully expect the imaginary Hook will now also disappear into the Twilight Zone like all the rest of Cooper's "pals" once their true identities, or lack thereof, were exposed.
What is at stake here is trust and credibility. Someone who behaves like a child - repeatedly - is not trustworthy. The point of his false identities has been to make himself credible. When that doesn't work, he fills the forum with his "warfare" tirades. WAM is right, that is sick! It's kiddie game-playing and such childish crap should not be tolerated. I vote to kick him off the island. He isn't worth the trouble he causes. Clearly, the trouble he causes is meant to drive credible grownups and genuine "sportsmen" from the site so Cooper can bask unhindered in his self-perceived status as sage old mentor.
I see you children are still at it!
Hows that song go?
I'll take the high road and you take the low road!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
Go ahead and put mine out there ,tired of being tired of this stuff.Been here a while and didn't reconize the handle and checked the profile.EGG SUCKING DOG

Gentlemen (and ladies). If you have a problem with a particular member of our site, we would prefer that you email us directly (webmaster@fieldandstream.com) so that we can take care of it offline. We'd like to keep this section focused strictly on hunting and fishing Q&A, and it can reflect poorly on everyone when this sort of infighting appears in a public forum. Thanks for understanding.
Amen! Nice to know someone is watching what is going on here. We can take our grievances to them directly from now on. I did make a report a couple of times but no response.
So, that's how you have fun, Clay? Causing fights? Wow! Webmaster, are you catching this? Should now be obvious what is needed to fix the situation.
This can I didn't open!
Get your facts straight OH!
And have a nice day B)
Honker, Clay, etc. I'm not going to delete an account because someone is unpopular. I am going to start deleting accounts if this kind of infighting continues to drag the site into the gutter, and I'm not going to care much who started things. Folks, this isn't middle school. If anyone sees an offensive/obscene comment, or a comment advocating a dangerous practice, or a virulent personal attack on another member, email me and I will delete it and warn or ban the person who made it. Otherwise, if you don't like something someone says, I suggest you take a deep breath and just ignore it.
As to off-topic posts, please put them in our campfire or backlash forums. The Answers pages should be reserved for hunting and fishing questions only, not general discussion. Again, thanks for understanding.
Thank you online editors.
jamesti i will inform you
clay had some guy come on and say some mean/offensive things to some people everyone went crazy thinking it was clay
when he revealed himself everyone got mad at him
Aside from all the hype an type.It brings to mind of a couple Ol'Bulls bumping heads.The dust will settle an itll all be good.Cant be happy all the time.Just an opinion.
I would have to say no. Love him or hate him he has given me and countless others great info. I am not sure what started this mess, but as far as im concerned, Clay is one of the smartest people on here.
Classic field and streamers, giving people -1's for saying there opinion. I don't really care though, watch I will give my self a -1 after I click on submit to post this one.
Ha, there it is im down to -3 now!
to think i have been a bit disappointed about not being on here much lately . i will happily take another 14 hrs in the feller buncher seat, over silly online wars . they only make good entertainment for the pot stirrers .
on-line editors,
I told you two years ago I'd monitor this site for you if you'd send me to the annual booth babe show. But noooooooooooo!
Jim, Who in their right mind would give up that opportunity? LOL
Nice, Jim! Extremely unlikely, but nice try. It was worth the effort.
Jim, sorry. We couldn't risk scaring them all away.
LMAO +1 for online editors!!!!! Just what I needed tonight!
