The only thing he needs to sort out, is his own unhinged behavior, and sticking his nose into other peoples disagreements with his insults, which does nothing but spark more insults and what you see here.
He does that anytime Redleg and i go at it.
He takes TDS to a whole new level.
Quite disturbing really

Brent how old are you? I know you’ve said on here you’re retired, the thought a retired cad design worker is going to take a 50 year old Alaskan out back that’s still hump packing moose quarters around is foolhardy. You call him a key board warrior but really what are any of us? We’re a bunch of men separated by thousands of miles likely to never meet arguing amongst ourselves because we all likely need a hobby.
More than likely if and when any of us ever do meet we’re probably far more polite than the light this thread shows us in, there is far more to man’s personality than politics. You and I frequently clash over politics for example but I’m sure we could find some common ground on a neutral subject to have a ten minute conversation in if we did run into each other at a convention.

It’s probably not a bad idea for all of us.

I am not retired, and the CAD work I did was just one of many things in a business I owned that required a lot of physical work. I didnt just sit on my ass all day behind a computer. I wore many hats, and i could run circles around any blue collar employee I had
Don't pretend you know anything about me, because you dont.

never mind Brent I was trying to find some common ground with you but your obviously riled up and spoiling for an argument, I don’t have the energy to invest in fighting with you today on an argument that’s not even mine. If you’re not retired that was my mistake I thought you had previously stated you were.

Bit more or actually not on the Iranians arrested by anti terror police and special forces....

I'm not looking to argue with anyone. If you look back, I didn't start this, but I'm the one who always gets blamed for escalating things in my defense.
When someone calls me a low IQ butt sniffer of the tangerine tyrant, yeah, the gloves come off, and I'm ready to rumble.
All of this started over a stupid meme that was meant to be humor.
John is right when he said some folks are wound to tight.

And for the record, I've packed many deer,elk, and bear, out of Arizona terrain that would have a flatlander begging for mercy.

Brent I don’t care, I’ve said that the current argument is between you an @Tundra Tiger, I fished yesterday 20 odd hours for the third time this week and was up a 6 to be to the hospital to check on father. I’m currently sitting in a waiting room while a bunch of doctors try to decide if his hearts strong enough to take the being put under so they could operate to get the kidney stone that’s large enough he can’t pass and is causing him a severe bleed. On top of that I’ve got to be back to the boat at midnight to go again.

The only reason I responded at all was to state that I did care when someone said you should commit suicide, the rest of what your guys have going on you can have.

Don’t misjudge us old guys . Well, I’m not sure 60 is old? Still have similar strength like when I was 30 but definitely not the speed and reflexes. You don’t know our background, training regimen, martial arts expertise, dirty tricks etc..

Recently watched Mariusz Pudzianowski, 48, lose by 30 second 1st rd TKO to Eddie Hall, 37 and that was an 11year age difference but assuredly a different result with a younger Pudzianowski who was far more experienced, so yes youth has a clear edge depending on the circumstances. That’s why us old guys gotta end it quick and dirty!

The reality is nobody here is going to fight one another, ever and I suspect in the event of meeting one another, I believe it would be very cordial with mutual respect. It’s not hard to get riled up on the political stuff.

Best wishes for your father, hope he gets well soon.

It's not like Trump created that meme himself. No doubt one of his constituents made it. Maybe even a Catholic constituent.....LOL.

He posted it on his feed, if someone else had posted it elsewhere I doubt it would have had any traction. I doubt he has the skills to do that himself; he has people for that kind of stuff. BTW, that is not a slight on Trump, I wouldn't know how to do that meme either, but I am sure my PA does.

Well said my USMC / Police friend.

When I joined this forum I figured that if anyone wants to find me to kick my butt, a couple hundred bucks and someone will find my name and address. Using my real name keeps me honest and respectfull to all, much like in a face to face onversation.

Something our police members know well, no matter if one is the biggest, strongest, and best fighter ever born, they should watch out for the little guy, even teenagers or old men, who is not afraid to kill you.

Let's all remember that although we may not agree on politics, CBL hunts, Blasers or Mausers, and so on, we all have at least 95% in common. Let's focus on what we share!

Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope they are able to give him some relief.

 

[Tundra Tiger]

To each their own. IMO racing someone to the bottom isn't wise.

Generally I would agree with you. His consistent disdain and written vitriol is hard to stomach, so on occasion... I respond. And yes I do have him blocked but I sometimes look when a member I hold in higher regard is responding to him about something he directed at them.

Hate to hear that @Tubby’s Canteen .. Ive been dealing with aging parents and their associated medical issues for the last few years.. never fun.. and especially crappy when the person suffering is someone you truly love and respect..

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hope and pray he is strong enough to get the surgery done. I've heard that is the worst pain in this planet.

I thought so until we just dealt with my dad passing a gall stone through his pancreas. Close to killed him. 2 1/2 weeks in hospital and not out of the woods yet! As @mdwest said, it’s tough to see aging parents going through this crap.

I know it! My parents are both 85 years old, and it's tough to see them decline. My mom had a bad Diverticulitis flare up, in which the Docs had to go in and remove 8-12" of her Colon, and an 8 hrs surgery. I was scared sh*tless and thought my mom was not going to tolerate the surgery. Thank God, and she did, and the recovery was as challenging as the surgery. I stay vert close to them, even though we are one state away. I also remind them how much I love them and appreciate everything they did to raise me. At that age, the expiration date is near.

Trump is a master troll. He's having fun making his enemies and opposition squirm.

 

[Hunt anything]

I feel for everyone going through the decline of loved ones, my dad is 92 and every time the phone rings I fear the worst.

My mom is 87 and taking care of him but it’s tough. A couple of years ago my sister and I convinced her she needed help and as stubborn as she is she agreed. Heading up to Auburn tomorrow to spend Mother’s Day with them but it’s always bittersweet seeing loved ones in steep decline.

God bless all that are dealing with this!
