I just thought about all the contraversy and negative things I have been reading in many of the posts. I also see a HUGE array of questions about many subjects in our hobby and about our breed.
How about sharing some of the positive things that were created by those answered questions? How have these answers helped you progress or advance in your program? I made a post under another subject of 2 instances where when I needed help you guys jumped in to save me!
I learned how to save a sick bird! I learned how to patch up a hawk slashed bird and put it back together!
I do apprieciate the people on this site who QUICKLY came to my rescue when I needed them for real!
If you asked questions about color and got advise? How did your babies turn out? Did that advise give you what you were looking for? I would like to see a little more give and a little less questions.
How about sharing something or anything that someone on this site shared and it helped you in some way. It can be anything from a good trout bait that helped you catch that 5 pounder or advise on a bullet or arrow that dropped a deer for you.
I know there are a bunch of great people who frequent this site. Let them know how they have helped you in some way.
Thanks guys! Good luck!
Ronnie

Frankie, some of those folks whom you have found yourself engaged in disagreement with will also, at some point, give you advice from their experience just as others have, and you will probably find that advice to be of benifit to you. It is common for new members to this forum to have their feathers ruffled by the likes of a few who are extremely entrenched in their beliefs and pratices. After some time you will learn the peculiar character of your fellow fanciers and in a broad sort of way, it stimulates interest and keeps things from being stale. Diversity is good, even in a nearly combative thrust of opinions. It brings out passions and devotions for one's beliefs. If everyone was on the same page, we would have little to enjoy or participate in. You will learn over time that you have to take some of the comments and opinions with a grain of salt and realize they are simply words floating around in cyberspace. Some people might preceive some members as being adversaries of my opinions, and there are some times when I will toss the shackles and become fierce with my convictions. But many of them are actually people I call friends, we just don't share the same beliefs and get an infusion of satisfaction from going head to head over our ideals. But when the thread dies, we leave it there.
Brian.

Brain, I agree with you and I appreciate the
advice and all the advice I have got and will
get in the future. As long as it comes from
somebody who seriously wants to help you. Not
laugh, joke, or put you down for what you believe
in and what you think. Nobody should try to push their
way of thinking and their beliefs on you. Just
because you don't agree doesn't mean your wrong or
right it just means you have a difference of opinion.
I believe if your not going to try and help
someone or encourage them to enjoy rollers period
then maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.
But, I think there's lots of people on this site
that are tired of seeing people getting slammed and
put down for what they believe and for asking a
simple little question. Lots of people laugh about
it and say that it's funny and they enjoy seeing it.
But if the shoe was on the other foot, I bet they
wouldn't think it was so funny then. I think
more people are upset about it then are letting on.
Maybe when they finally get enough of it and post what their opinion is own it. Maybe something will be done
about it. I didn't want to say anything negative on
here since Ronnie wanted a positive post. So let me
thank you and the others who answered my question.
I really appreciate all your help and ya'll are
definitely an asset to this site. Hope to meet and talk to more people like ya'll. Frankie

Frankie, this forum contains an active membership of some very diverse fanciers and I wouldn't want to see anything changed for the sake of everyone simply getting along. What you are experiencing has been going on since the first month that Tony created this forum many years ago. A lot of the same names and even more new ones, but the lines drawn in the sand haven't changed, nor will they ever. And that isn't a bad thing. You will enjoy your visits here more when you can filter through posts and realize some people are just some people and that is who they are. My advice is do not take any thing considered a challenge to your integrity as being personal. Some of those guys actually mean well in their own unique way and a "slam" is just their twisted way of offering their advice, sometimes due to frustration and sometimes simply an overload on too many Red Bulls...lol.

i hear you Brian and i know where your coming from. I'm not going no where i can take as well as i give. but there is people out there on the site that's not as hard headed or thick skinned as me. like poor Art. he put the picture on there and i haven't heard nothing from him since it all started. maybe he's busy and hasn't looked back on it, maybe his computer crashed, or maybe he's afraid to say anything else or ask anything else. because of what happened. thanks again. Frankie
