We aren’t going to tolerate racism or racist themed posts.

A few months back I got a love note from Randy to knock of the political shit. He said I was in the to top 10 most reported. I mentioned this to Buzz. Buzz said if that was the case then he had to be #1. I told Buzz he was the Cal Ripken of HT reporting. Some records will never be broken.

A time out can be good for each of us from time to time.

Buzz is a good guy.

I just wanted to follow up.

I received a PM with Buzz’s number and was asked to call him.

After a 23 minute conversation there are a few things I want to cover:

We all know and have known, Buzz is not racist. The reason for his post was to highlight and go head on with another issue with the page (I will circle back to this.) While the picture might not have been the most appropriate means to solve the problem, it still got the attention of a lot of people and after all this is said and done should have some additional improvements on the page.

I’m waiting for Fin to get back and as long as I’m not torched for all of this here is what I will offer him to consider.

1) Political talk on this page (outside of talks regarding public land efforts) needs to go. It’s been proven over and over that it never ends well and as it’s been said so many times already - This is Hunt Talk. Not Political Talk.
Nothing good has ever come from it, I’ve never seen anyone change their minds on their opinions, and it just always ends up negative.
This is what it seemed Buzz was attacking head on in his own way. If the stuff wasn’t around, then he wouldn’t have to use his methods to highlight it.

If that bothers you I can send you some other forums or Facebook pages you can visit with that type of stuff.

2) Discrimination on any level needs to go. The meme thread started well off, but apparently took some dark turns. It’s been highlighted a few times in this thread and by other users in separate convos. This will clearly send some of you into a tizzy because I’ve already been told multiple times that I must have no humor or that my mitigation is ruining the page because of deleted a hate symbol, but again I offer you… it’s Hunt Talk. Not post hate symbols talk, attack sexual orientation or attack sexual preference talk, or belittle women talk.

3) If something is wrong, call it out. Randy spends more time on the road hunting, spends more time with his team working, and adds in family time too. So his ability to check in on the page it limited. I am on here a few times a day to handle reports, eliminate crypto-scammers, check a few thread; and then move on. So we will miss a lot of posts. We cannot fix what you don’t tell us about. If stuff starts going dark or a certain way, then self police and let us know.

The Tommy tough nuts of the page will come cry and say that people need to suck it up or not read the posts. If you want to have a place like that to start your own page. I don’t think Randy started this forum for those reasons and I’ll continue to eliminate the crap any time it comes up.


I’ll leave you with this. We’ve got some people with some strong opinions here, but I don’t often see them being a part of the solution - they just continue to be part of the problem.
I make decisions in an effort to make this place better; not hinder or hurt. If you think that’s the case you don’t pay attention well enough or you’re one of the problems.

Block me, bring the pitch forks out, or come tell me what you don’t like about me at any event you see me at, but I’m not going to stop trying to keep the place on the right track so we can continue to have a place to meet up and TALK ABOUT HUNTING and DEFEND PUBLIC LANDS.

So is everyone going to get phone calls from now on to explain or is buzz just going to get this special treatment? Asking for a friend…. ;)
 
It's crazy that @Lostinthewoods even spent time explaining his decision. I've caught a 7 day ban for a lot less than a KKK meme.

I never got a phone call though! Just had to sit in the corner.

@Lostinthewoods just answers to big fin. I'd put $200 on Randy agreeing with his decision. Some of yall might remember the whole black wolf issue from a couple of years ago. I'd say a kkk hood trumps that.

I’ll say it to your face if I ever get the chance, im not afraid.

I don’t like you because you post pictures of that beautiful S&W as a trapline gun. I’m going to start posting my Saturday Night Special-esque pistol just to stick it to you.
 
Oddly enough, Archery Talk will ban you for a year for posting MCLMF or "Say it again!" memes but let a lot of other horseshit stay there. Here at least it's a time out, not a year ban or permanent.
