Good lord, 182? I see you have done a pile of buying/selling, but that still seems crazy to me. However, YMMV...
Totally agree on anti-hunting people coming into a hunting forum to b!tch about hunting.

Man, you hit that nail on the head. We were always right of center, me a bit more than her, but about 2 years ago she must have drunk the KoolAid and she is now a staunch supporter of the Clown Parade. When she announced that she would vote Liberal in the last federal election, I was flabbergasted.
She is at least as interested in American politics as in our own, but she essentially goes through her day with her phone next to her and it is an incessant parade of shrill leftist rhetoric. Not only "Farron Unbalanced", but the Meidas Touch network is high on the list, and any word that ecapes Charlie Angus' lips is hung upon as though it were gospel. I hear the name Donald Trump literally hundreds of times each day, with increasing amounts of venom. Perhaps worst of all, she narrates and pontificates on this crap while it's still being broadcast...apparently I'm too dumb to understand all of its nuances and hidden meanings, so she feels the need to explain and dissect all their nonsense for me.
She has thoroughly brainwashed our daughter and son-in-law, to the point where our daughter attended a Charlie Angus event recently and was thrilled to get a picture of herself shaking hands with the insane garden gnome himself.
Resistance on my part is always met with an angry "there are other issues besides guns..." and I literally try to avoid even talking politics at all. Don't judge; try listening to this crap all day every day for a few weeks or months, and you too will pray for an escape. This is not a joke, either. We've been together for 45-ish years, and this is the most stressful and unpleasant period in that entire time by a wide margin.
I keep a memo active on my phone for that very reason, just to have a listing of people with whom I don't want to have any dealings. I don't necessarily want their drivel to become invisible to me in the forum. Friends close...enemies closer...idiots on display in case they do or say something entertainingly stupid.
Tell her L. Neil Smith disagrees. And my condolences on the situation, that's brutal to have to deal with. I'm not sure if I could stay married under those circumstances.
Yep. This is one of the biggest benefits of freedom of expression. The meatheads will out themselves if you care to pay attention.

This unfortunately is common case with anything these days I follow a decent amount of the Big game hunting media and it is common when a hunter or even a professional hunter is killed the "left" celebrates because oh a "rich" person was killed or a hunter was killed who was probably "rich". The general hunting of big game in Africa is what funds conservation but is a completely different issue since it is more related how our current "left" views hunting and other things and dehumanizes the opposition "rich","hunter","male","white", even "traditional" are all terms used by the other side to dehumanize others since in most cases the "left" doesn't look at us as a people but something that either needs to be "reeducated" or exterminated and all means will justify the end. The largest proof today of this is that fella who burned down that warehouse "you only had to pay us a living wage" celebrated for sticking it to the man, but no body cares about all the other workers who are now out of job who now need to try and find another job.
Absolutely, I'm accustomed to listening to that nonsense...but, in most of those cases, the story was originally aired or published in mainstream media and that's how the nutcases learned about it.
My special beef is with a particular subspecies of "meathead"
who makes his/her way onto a hunting forum looking for a chance to badmouth hunters. There's gotta be a better, more descriptive and more accurate term than merely calling them "trolls". There are, sadly, plenty of venues for their BS where it will be welcomed; and yet they secifically post in a hunting forum. Idiots.Hey...that's the better word!
Maybe they should watch some documentaries on Hitler pre ww2 on how they brainwashed the German people using the social media that was at the time ( news papers,radio broadcasting ,cinemas etc ).There are a lot of people out there who for some reason be it laziness,low IQ,low education or just herd mentality that just can t think for themselves and look for someone/something to believe in and they are the ones why people like Hitler and all the other dictators rise to power.Unfortunately those people can t see the truth until it is too late and some of them not even thenMan, you hit that nail on the head.

I think today though our biggest threat is the internet with all the social media platforms and how plugged in most of the population is too them.Look how many people follow Influencer on the net who are pushing everything from products to lifestyle changes.Because of this liberals can spread their poison like a communicable disease and if you couple that with the new AI technology you have a recipe for the rise for more dictatorial governments that Hitler would be proud of

On my one and only Africa trip, My PH's father was killed by a Cape Buffalo a year before. He bled out in the helicopter before reaching the hospital.
I asked him if they went and tracked that Buffalo down...
He gave me a surprised look and more or less said No, The Buffalo won that day and that's hunting and a risk we all take.
It wasn't even the Buffalo they shot that gored him, It was another one that circled around and smelt blood then charged.
I was fully expecting him to say he killed every Buffalo in a 10miles radius lol
