Title: BASHERS and Pot Stirrers....
Post by: Terry Green on February 10, 2015, 03:46:00 PM
I don't know what's gotten into a few folks, but some have, for what ever reason, have taken to bashing others, others equipment choices, and shooting styles/ and or repetitively posting trying to start an argument.  Some have been given not one but TWO chances here already.

If you feel the need to put down others, or the need to take out an agenda against others, for what ever reason, even if you just can't help yourself.....please find another site to post on.

Well put. This place is one of the only remaining websites that seems to have been successful in weeding out the negativity and is a super positive place.

There is a reason I haven't spent any amount of time on other sites for the last 7 years.  Thanks Terry and others for keeping Tradgang clean, respectful and committed to Traditional Bowhunting.

A very good reason why I like this site. Even when someone disagrees with you they can get their point across without name calling and fighting.

Thanks Terry, I hope it will always stay like this.

Thanks a lot to Terry and all the Mods.  I try to make a point to always comment on threads like this, mostly just to make sure you guys know how much your effort is appreciated by all of us who follow the rules.  Respectful disagreement is healthy and informative.  I like that about this site.  I love this site, have never been to any of the other ones.

Keep up the good work!!!

We are up to page three and it has been well said, but I'll repeat it anyway.  This a fine and civil site frequented by good decent folks!  I belong to several other sites that are not bow sites that have a similar atmosphere of respect.  The thing that they seem to have in common is they don't allow anonymity.  It's nice to have a place like this where people treat each other like a valued neighbor.

Wow....I gotta say this surprises me.  I have found tradgang to be BY FAR the most friendly and welcoming site I've EVER posted on.  It's so friendly, helpful and welcoming that I can't even tell you who the mods are.  I am an administrator and moderator on a high traffic deer hunting site and while it's a very good forum it's NOWHERE as on target (topic wise) and nowhere near as helpful and friendly as this one.  

KUDOS to you and the mods for doing a fantastic job.  I'm sure there's something I missed because I only open what interests me but what I have opened has been full of great content.

Thanks again for a great site and for allowing me to be a part of it.

Chris

I haven't noticed much negativity here, but apparently some try it.

This site is great and I have learned sooo much by asking and listening here.

Thanks Terry, for your policing efforts.

There's no room for bashing.

In my humble but accurate opinion this is the most friendly and informative traditional archery forum on the web      :)   . I have been treated with the utmost respect and everyone has been very patient with all my noob questions. I feel it due to the hard work and dedication of the admins and also the fine character and comradery of the members that frequent this forum. I hope to make this my home on the web for traditional archery for a very long time.      :campfire:

I don't know any other trad shooters where I live, so tradgang is the only place I know of to get info and suggestions from experienced trad hunters and shooters. I haven't seen any negative comments while I have been a member everyone has been very helpful,polite, and respectful. I like the way this site operates a lot! everyone here has been very friendly to me. I say it a lot, but thanks again y'all for this great site!!!!

As a trad bowhunter, I'm a loner by choice.  But, when I do desire the company of like minded individuals I come here.

Post by: md126 on February 11, 2015, 11:29:00 AM
I don't see any real bashing or pot stirring around here, especially compared to other sites. .

As long as it's done in a respectful manner I don't have any problems with other people's posts regardless of what it is. In fact, it's the diversity and information from so many different people that makes this site enjoyable and educational
Title: Re: BASHERS and Pot Stirrers....
Post by: calgarychef on February 11, 2015, 01:09:00 PM
Bashing isn't a good idea but "pot stirring" makes for better soup!  I like to hear others ideas even if they aren't similar to my own and a site that's too "bland" simply becomes a place to rehash old ideas.
Title: Re: BASHERS and Pot Stirrers....
Post by: 1/4 away on February 11, 2015, 01:35:00 PM
I'm not sure what prompted this thread and while I disagree with bashing I don't mind differences in opinions as long as it's done in a respectful manner no one is right all the time and sometimes we need to hear a different perspective on things.
Debate is healthy......bashing is not.
Title: Re: BASHERS and Pot Stirrers....
Post by: md126 on February 11, 2015, 02:01:00 PM
Well said Fred. That's basically what I said in my earlier post.

However, for whatever reason, Terry Green felt the need to edit my post. I realize he doesn't like me or what I have to say but my posts are always clean and respectful and therefore should be left alone.

Once Terry edits the post to say what he wants it's no longer mine but his...   Just another respectful opinion

Hunt hard, ethically, and safely fellas. Take care

Mike

I visit here quite frequently and have not noticed or been offended by any of the bash.  I guess it may be happening on forums I do not frequent.

Fortunately, that other site seems to have become more civil in the past few weeks, so maybe those "pot stirers" have moved back to TG.

Thanks to Terry and the others for keeping this place sane and civil.
