What Happened to the Land Rover Threads???

[Firebreather]

uhhh man dont talk about swinging penises with me...that is just not right...

as for the quiet professionals, most A type, alpha personalities that i know are not quiet professionals...and if the members want to be quiet then this isnt going to be a very good site now is it?

life experience...dude how old do u think i am? im not 18. im a trial lawyer. and im not looking to get into fights or debates with trolls...i rarely engage in childish behavior even on the other sites i am a member of...i dont feed trolls but i dont want their posts deleted either. sometimes what they have to say needs to be said. and i think i have been very polite to all on this forum. i am expressing my views and my opinions in a professional and hopefully somewhat humorous manner. as for moving on, if u dont like reading my posts, then dont. but i will continue to post here for so long as i choose. moreover, i will advocate the kind of independent thinking and freedom of expression i believe this site should have.

glad to hear u got to jump out of a plane with guns on and didnt sling beers on people telling them about it...just because i like to doesnt mean im wrong.

Sounds like you're a midwesterner if you really know about Muskie fishing...

Johnny boy,

my sister in law used to say that they should take the musky out of lake because from timr to time someone gets bit

then she paints her townails bright gold and goes and dangles her feet in the water

please reread Brklyn's post above

keep baiting people and they will bite thats how it works

Come on, we could all tell from the nature of their posts that civilized discourse was not in the offing. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Like MAC said, you recognize them, they just get happier.

You (some of you)egg them on, then call for them to be banned because you don't like what they say?
Much easier to ignore.

K-Mac - Don't you find that fencing is the hardest leg workout you've ever done?
Been a long time since I did any, but it was harder than basketball, football or soccer as far as conditioning! And that is collegiate level training. I took Fencing as a class in college and thought I was going to die the first week! Much respect for those who do that!

Firebreather, there are more men on here with balls then you know, but that does not mean we need to show them to every swinging penis that comes through here... In my profession that was know as the "quiet professionals", dont have to sling beer on each other and grunt to let people know what it is like jumping out of a 4 engine jet in the middle of pitch black night with a full combat load. Maybe we just have a different tone and depth of life experince then you are use to. It may be true that the other forums are more lively, with lots of debate and mud slinging being a normal part of that exchange. It may be true that our average age on this forum is closer to 40 then to 20, like it appears some of our guests hail from. So what, this place on the internet has developed it's own personality. That is what is so cool about the internet, there is a place for all people, with all interests, who can go and congregate in cyber and meet like minded people. So that is what we have done. What you see if is what you get, don't like it, move on. Free choice. Sorry if you don't get the same rise or feel the same need to be polite here. Enjoy. Life is way freaking shorter then most people think...

Why do grown men engage in online conversation with minors? do you realize the danger in such activities? This subject was discussed last night when the police visited my club to discuss crime prevention. In these types of cases, one is guilty unles proven otherwise. As a parent, if I discover such extended online conversation between my 12 or 14 yrs old boys with 30-50 years old adults online, regardless of what subjects or who started the conversation, as a precaution, I will absolutely report to my local police department. Maybe the police have nothing better to do? but they made it clear that they want to know and will take actions and work with Fed authorities' registry. As the officer said: "Why would a normal middle age man engage in extended online conversation with a child? there could be something wrong down the road or elsewhere with that individual."

Firebreather:

You might want to check the thread titled "Flush the Trolls." Boris makes a point that many of us agree with. It is not a matter of having thick-skin and taking the criticism of the H2. No one is saying that visitors to this forum must like our choice of vehicle.

The overlying point is that there was a general lack of respect and etiquette as GUESTS of this site.

Most of us welcome "Jeep" guys/gals and "Ford" enthusiasts so long as they present themselves in a constructive manner. Some of the Land Rover folks have offered comeraderie, but the unfortunate truth and fact of the matter is that a "wave" of negativity and constant "H2 Bashing" broke into darn-near every thread. That, my friend, is not the way many of us want to be treated.

There is enough B.S. and stress in this world. The last thing many of us want is to face more of this "bad energy" when we come to this forum.

I shared your view initially and welcomed the new vistitors to discuss issues in a calm and mature aire, but the responses tended to bypass such principle.

NOT to draw a competitive sport issue....but my vote has got to be for racquetball...you have to be quick, agile, reverse direction quickly and move like lightening! I play twice a week for about 2 1/2 hours at a time...it's about the most fun you can have in the confines of a small room whacking balls around for sport!

Oh behave!!

Kelley,

no I dont know miltona,I do most of my Musky fishing in northern Wisconsin, we are on Lake Tomahawk but I know and fish about 100 different lakes up there.

I practice a old world method of fishing called row trolling . you row to pull your baits...look mom no motor I work deep clear lakes and spend most my time fishing around schools of bait fish in the deepest areas of a body of water.this method really targets the biggest fish in a body of water. for a number of years I have built boats just for this purpose. they are recreations of the original Guide boats used back 70 to 100 years ago in northern wisconsin.

my favorite time to fish is under the dark moon at night when the huge fish become active in the Gin clear water.

I also Fly Fish for muskie and have written many articles on the subject over the years if you ever get the itch for a new musky expierience catching one on a fly is well worth the effort. I have caught hundreds of species on the fly and they really rank right up there with Bonefish,cobia and permit in my estimation.

so whats your biggest musky?

just had to ask ...what kinda musky fisherman would I be if I didnt?

Musky:the thinking mans fish

Dirt is for playing roads are for getting there

ah but see thats not my game...how about we meet in the courtroom...we each get one hour to state our case about how we would kick the other's @$$ and see who the jury thinks would win! (thats how lawyers fight!)

[muskyman]

[Firebreather]

all u have to do is take one look at the H2 to realize why others are jealous of the truck. its beautiful IMHO.

[Firebreather]

then just ignore the trolls. my god how hard is that to understand? if you feed them they grow! ignore them and they go away! but dont ban them or delete their posts / threads!

and why does everyone keep referring to this as a "stress-free" place? WTF? is this a dayspa? grow a pair! lets talk trucks and 4x4s, H2s and so on and so forth!

my god, are u guys all on medication or have heart problems?

this is supposed to be a fun place where we can learn about the H2, share our experiences and connect with other like minded people! that will inevitably call into play comparing the damn truck with others. is that forbidden? if i say the H2 is better than a RR will i be banned or just my post deleted?

stop being so protective. u are making yourselves look like a bunch of sensitive, whiny, old women. (no offense girls)

where are the men's men and the tough girls?

[Firebreather]

but it would be fun to me...watching u get nervous, stumble over your words, me blocking you in, not ever seeing me coming, and finally moving in for the kill...there is definitely thrill of the hunt...the courtroom is where mental and verbal combat take place!
