Andy Drook, AKA Adrook, AKA Cane Rat,

You are still an asshole and your apologies are as rotten as yesterdays fish. I knew who you were after only 6 posts as Cane Rat, and I wrote Saeed and told him so. You attacked me vehemently (again) and lied to me in PMs. You purposefully misled me as well. You then decided better of it and made nice with me and deleted your attacks. You have still not admitted that you do not know me and that we have never met, yet you continued to post these lies and others casting aspersions about me. Why? Because I called you out on your BS postings as Adrook as someone with no expertise, having made but one safari, and having nothing positive to contribute to AR.

Your re-entry as Cane Rat was also done without Saeeds permission nor blessing, unlike your buddy Chipo/Nganga. So your dishonesty still shines through, speaking volumes about your personal ethics. You've only declared your true Identity now that you have been outed. Unfortunately there are many new posters here who don't know your history and some who may have forgotten, but there are plenty of us who remember you only too well.

Some of your past indiscretions are, to me at least, unforgivable. Like using blatant sexual innuendo to disparage and attack Brittany Boddington when she was recovering from the unfortunate shooting of Punki during her Leopard hunt. If Craig has forgiven you for that, so be it; but I don't. There is no excuse for what you posted in the past, and saying you apologize so that you can again play on AR doesn't work for me.

It is my sincerest hope that Saeed will ban your latest incarnation, for returning under a pseudonym without his permission.

OK, asshole, go ahead and make another unsubstantiated attack on me, you know you want to. Don't bother telling me again how you'll fly across country to do me bodily harm, because I know you are nothing but a wimp. Oh, and be advised I have well over 2,000 brothers here who carry guns every day.

You speak for all the members now?

This is Saeed's board still, is it not?

You are already on my wrong side and have been. You are the one who likes to talk shite from Zambia to the USA. When Andy Drook threatened to fly out here and do me bodily harm, he was welcomed to try. Probably closer to 3,000 brothers total in Silicon Valley, and like me, they all have a badge to go with the gun. Like Andy, the anonymity of the net makes you a brave soul via long distance.

My comments were directed at Andy Drook, not you, yet you just couldn't resist a wiseass comment. I'll let you know if I plan another trip to Zambia and we can say hello to each other in person. Or perhaps you'll be in Reno 2011?

Anonymous poster(LH) who claims he's a cop talking to two people whose actual names are on this page, whilst implying/threatening physical force, not just by him, but by the entire police force in his City. Wonder if he's ever made an arrest for terroristic threatening?..

It's not 5 o'clock yet in Silicon Valley, is it?

Talk is cheap. I walk the walk so I can talk the talk. How about you? Oh, and I am 63 years old if that helps increase your testosterone level.

Steve,
Get over yourself.

I am sitting here thinking.

Here is a man, who made a fool of himself in the past, appologised, and asked to be allowed back, turning the page on his past behaviour on the forum.

He is a fellow hunter, and I thought the least we can do is give him another chance to share his experiences with us.

Then we get other members who could not resist calling him names on a public forum.

Anyone with any common sense would have realised all this will do is start another pointless argument, which might get out of hand.

May I ask what is the purpose of this sort of act?

Can we let what had happened in the past be in the past?

And get back to talking about hunting, rather than fighting between ourselves?

I am sure the majority of the members would appreciate your co-operation, I certainly will.

Thank you.

I don't want to do this, because I know I am a lightning rod for attacks and controversy and that is very disruptive to the forums, but I guess I have no choice since I have unfortunately been outed on the classifieds forum due to a really shitty high-end rifle purchase that wasn't what it seemed and has gone bad and that I am trying to work my way through.

I used to post here as adrook before Saeed rightly banned me for basically being an ass. I wasn't always an ass as anyone can search my posts and see that for the first few years of my participation, starting in 2005, my posts were pretty constructive.

I apologize to the forum for my past trangressions but also realize that there are those of you who hate me and will continue to do so, perhaps in time you will get over that, at least I hope so.

Craig Boddington....

My criticisms of Craig were one of the things that made me most unpopular. I don't know that they were the direct cause of my being banned, but they couldn't have helped. After all of the shit that I cast his way Craig actually interceded on my behalf with Saeed and asked that I not be banned but rightly so I was banned (Craig told me this story after the fact). Like I told Saeed the only bright spot in this whole sordid episode is the fact that Craig and I have gotten to know each other and have become pretty good friends. He's a helluva good guy and I really cherish the fact that we have become friends, he's even promised to stop by in Atlanta this summer for a visit when he comes through the area. I really can't say enough good things about Craig, he is a super nice guy and a class act, there's no one better.

Dave Fulson....

I was a dick to you also and have sent you a PM. Craig told me that he would stop by for a visit next month and I asked him if you would be with him because I owed you an apology as well and that you could give me a punch on the nose and Craig said he would be traveling alone so that is out but if you and I get the chance to meet face to face the drinks are on me, bud.

My friend Steve (Chipolopolo, Nganga) is my best friend as well as my business partner and I realize that there are many of you who probably detest us both, me I am sure more than Steve, but we are both pretty good guys in spite of what you may think and I trust that time will bear that out. I also think that you will find that Steve is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable African hunters to be found anywhere.

Just please give us both a chance and fire away, I guess.

Get over yourself. Anyone who can read the english language knows I've made no threats to anyone.

Chez, I agree. The longer you're on here the more of this type of behavior you'll see.
