It's been a very long time since I've logged in here... Thanks Leonard for the help, I'm sorry you had to go through the hassle to find my info.
I have pretty much always come here every now and then and just read...
I thought I'd jump in here after seeing the post about wrestling at the PM hunt. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Just the thought of that made me laugh way too hard! Sure wish I could get in the cage with the frog and Barry. I'd be willing to donate big bucks for that opportunity! Might even sell my Harley to finance that event.
I just spent quite a bit of time reading the old post,titled "Question" about the original meltdown at PM with JimC and have to think there is a certain irony in that and recent events.
I haven't posted here because I didn't feel I had the experience to speak. I'm just a recreational coyote hunter by most standards especially when compared to many of the names I see here, so I'm hoping you don't think I'm trying to blow smoke if I say something now.

I guess another "Welcome" is called for, Nikon? But, as far as participating or not because of lack of experience, or whatever you choose to call it, remember; we let TA post, so pretty much everybody is entitled to an opinion.
So, you would like to wrassle with RF, eh? He's built like a Sumo, so it could prove difficult to knock him off his feet? Which he (no doubt) cannot see?
Good hunting. LB

Nikonut,
Welcome! You don't need any special talent to post here, you are one of the good guys and that is what matters most.

Thanks Guys...
Leonard, if I got in a cage with the frog it wouldn't be about wrestling, more like "Ultimate Fight Night". I don't think I'd be first in line so it probably wouldn't matter anyway!

I personally think it's bull shit that you stuck around PM to "try and change things" and turned your back on those who were your friends Nikonut. It seems more likely, the only thing you wanted to change, was your status in the predator hunting community.
I think you did that, but perhaps not in the way you might have planned.
Just a personal opinion, based on our past.

Just blew him a kiss, didn't ya? I guess you guys are old friends? None of my business. But, it's cool that you can discuss disagreements that happened over there, over here, isn't it?
Good hunting. LB

It's been what - 8 years? Nikon and I go back a ways. One Christmas a few years ago, I sent him and his girls some calls - special ones - I thought back then we were friends?
Then I got the ban boot from the redfagot, and old Nikonut never once said boo to me after that. Not one word.
So, if he stuck around to change anything, it was his standing in the predator hunting community. It damn sure wasn't to stick up for or defend the people redfag was screwing over.
But he found out, the hard way, that redfag is one ruthless SOB. I'll bet you I would have never been baned if I had agreed to sell him my calls for less than a chinaman makes in an hour for his store. But I refused to become his whore, and sure enough, he took the first chance he got to get rid of me.
But again, like I said, I thought Nikon and I were friends. Once I was gone, we weren't buddies anymore.
Maybe where he lives that's how friends treat each other, but I grew up in Illinois, and that;s not the way I remember it. Times change I guess.
I think a lot of these former PM mods are trying to wash the stink off their hands - but some of it might not be external if you know what I mean.

WOW!
Al... I'm very sorry you feel that way. You are most certainly misguided in your thoughts about what has happened between the two of us. Your feelings couldn't be further from what happened!
You left PM way before I became a mod and then you went to FnF. I never joined over there and lost track of you but I have always spoken extremely well of you and given much of the credit for what callmakers today do as an example. You set the standard that many even now strive to attain.
I got pretty soured on all the fighting between the two groups back then, ask KeeKee or some of the others that know me. I have never really made calls to sell so trying to put myself in a better position doesn't really make much sense? I did finally take a mod position after Tony quit to hopefully change things and save what so many like yourself had worked so hard to create... I think I did help the call forums grow and I also got insight into the things most only hear in rumors or stories second hand. For that alone I would go through the misery all over again.
I also agree 100% in your analogy of the frog. He is truly a piece of worm dung in my opinion and needs to go so PM can survive and continue as Will wanted it too.
I believe I even posted on your new website how much I liked it... I have always been just a phone call away. I will take full blame for not having called you Al but you are wrong if you think I'm not your friend and that has never changed nor has my respect for you! Ask around to what callmaker's calls were proudly hanging and displayed at my booth during the KC Expo... ask JC he was there.
As for washing the stink off my hands I'll have to agree... PM has done that to a lot of people.

Leonard, you are just too funny ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
So Tom, I suppose it just wasn't worth staying in touch after I got booted from PM. I would have logged on and said Hi now and then but, well, they sort of locked my account. Even put my name in the word censor. I couldn't go there, and I just wasn't a good enough friend for you to come somewhere else?
I feel all warm and fuzzy now. I suppose everyone should just welcome all of you guys with open arms and forgive and forget in the spirit of the season.
What Tom64 said.

I guess you're right Al...
Probably all my fault and no reason to talk now either.
Maybe coming here was a mistake, too. You guys don't really want to know the truth, you already know everything and have your minds made up.
I'll just keep what I know to myself and you can always wonder what I might have been able to show you. Probably better that way.
Merry Christmas to all and to Al a Good Night!

Hell, it wont be like I missed anything anyway. Been 3 or 4 years already - what's a few more.
The point though is simple. None of you did a freaking thing. You could have all got up and walked out. What kind of message would that have sent? But no, being a PM Moderator is Special. Makes you all "somebody", but it doesn't make everyone else Somebody's fool Tom.
You stayed because you were now "somebody". Now you want to continue to be "somebody" by letting everyone believe you fought the good fight and you have the "dirt" on what went on in the "backroom".
Everyone KNOWS what went on in the back room,
Slurping.
Merry Christmas to you too buddy.

Nikon, like Rich posted above, no special talent required. I'm a fun lovin amateur and I still get to post.
If somebody thinks it isn't fun it would be interesting to examine their motives.

Nikon, some of us will think less of you if you get all timid now and go away. Cowboy up. Defend yourself from unfair criticism. I wish I knew who to cheer for, but you have a chance to begin anew, or confront your accuser(s). Personally, it doesn't seem like a huge crime to ignore a friend on the Internet while basking in the glow of PM Moderation?
Come on, where you going to go for entertainment? CG? They will slice you up and have you for breakfast.
I'm just kidding. Whatever you do, thanks for stopping in and chatting for a bit.
Good hunting. LB
