Taking a break from social media once in a while is a good idea. But you don't have to feel defeated. If you get undeserved criticism or even naked trolling, you can always PM that person to make sure you have not misunderstood and then report the post to moderators, if necessary. You already know you are not alone here. There are many more decent and friendly people here than occasional trouble makers or trolls. Sometimes we can get overly sensitive as well. Directly addressing the issue works for someone like me who are used to confrontational discussions. But most people are not accustomed to that kind of interaction. We need to have more active moderators, I guess. But you need to inform them to get their help. Take care.

Clint I’m just gonna say. I really miss guys like you, Bill, Paul, Chris, Knoll, Ryan and several others.

I always looked forward to seeing what followed you home. You have a real knack of finding treasures. You were someone I never had to worry about trading with. You will be very much missed from this site. I hope you change your mind but I understand and honestly this site has lost a lot of its appeal with the loss of so many good members. I know there are still a lot of really good people on here, but we have lost to many.

PS if you see or communicate with those other people I mentioned give them a high five for me.

BrianS:
I enjoy this forum very much and hate to see anyone leave.  Good luck wherever your journeys take you and God bless.

I understand, there are a few people here that feel it it their mission in life to knock me down a notch or two when I post, they usually insinuate that I don't know what I am talking about. Seeing as how I never post anything that I don't have direct experience with and they are mostly posting opinions, I whip out the pictures (I photograph everything for future reference) to prove my point and they shut up.

Like you, it used to really get my goat when they gave me a hard time but now I don't take the bait and give them a platform for their foolishness. Cyber bullies abound, type A personalities for the most part, apparently they just can't help it and will never learn to play nice.

Scott, there seems to have been a little missunderstanding going on. There is at time a feeling that the contest is a popularity contest and that leaves a bad taste at times.  However this is because Manny chose to pull his bow from BOM in protest to the fiberglass bows in the magazine and the fact that the editor ignored his question posted in feedback to the editor.  Some of us applaud the fact that Manny would stick up for what he believes in enough to pull a bow that was an obvious contender because what he believes is more important than winning BOM.  My hat is off to anyone that stands up for what they believe with that kind of fortitude.  Because some of us agree with Manny others have taken offense.  Everyone is free to participate in BOM and nobody will think any less of them for doing it. WE just applaud Manny for having conviction to what he believes in.  Justin


Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.
