It looks as though rick is banned, or at least I cannot send him a PM.

While his post can be contentious at times these has been far worse behaviour by other members that still post regularly.

Can anybody comment on what he did to get banned? While I understand this is a free site and we are guests here I am curious as to why he is gone.

I ask you only because you are a moderator and the only moderator I have seen post on this subject.


Apparently Rick's behavior and attitude reached a level the administrator wasn't going to tolerate anymore. You will most likely be seeing more moderators in this forum and I believe less and less of the behavior Rick exhibited in general and in this thread in particular will be tolerated. Those who can't conduct themselves in a civil manner may just suffer the same fate.



If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out.

What was that? Giving a dam about ethics?

Thanks for the warning Eeker

You think it was a concern of ethics, do you?

Selective justice, partial to some and punitive to others.

Pure bullshit

Maby so.....
But I seen RC attack threads of people with animals they killed and belittle them.

I for one was sick and tired of seeing this and feel the flame throwing attitude has nearly killed the American Big Game Forum.

If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

jwp,

I do not agree with everything Rick posted or even his tone at times. However I have seen posts as contentious from plenty of others including you and me. So next time we are in a passionate debate will we be banned also since it appears "You will most likely be seeing more moderators in this forum and I believe less and less of the behavior Rick exhibited in general and in this thread in particular will be tolerated. Those who can't conduct themselves in a civil manner may just suffer the same fate." or "If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you on the way out."

I will give you a call this afternoon if you are around the phone.

So basically what you are saying is that it was OK for both Ted and the Gut Shooter to Trash Talk Rick, but that when he responded in kind that was a problem. And it is OK for the Gut Shooter to continue his pathetic tirades against Rick. I'm pretty sure I understand it now.

So, the post from teenScum on the Bow Board is OK, but if I respond to the fool I'd get Tossed. Seems clear enough to me.

Please, I am a moderator, not a kindergarten teacher. Kindly dispense with the "Well, Billy stuck a pencil in his eye; why can't I" argument. My six year old does not whine like this.

Arguments about cartridge adequacy always amaze me. If the cartridge/load in question has adequate penetration at the distance shot and creates a sufficient wound channel, then for me at least, the cartridge is adequate. No game weight formulas trump actual experience of a bullet/load combination on game. It all boils down to shot placement. If you don't hit the vitals, no amount of bullet weight, diameter, or velocity is going to make up for it -- period.

I witnessed this small hog shot with a 180 grain TSX from a 300 win mag at 350 yards by jwp. As you can see, the round unzipped the animal entirely. It ran off and required a finishing shot to the head -- when it was found. There is no replacement, for placement. The vitals were missed, an animal was wounded and ran off. I think all would agree that the 300 win mag is no small hammer and perfectly adequate for all game in the lower 48 -- especially a small hog, right?

If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming.
