Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

Anti-10/80 crowd seem to be achieving very little by bludgeoning people into supporting them, and should possibly be saved from themselves. They seem to be achieving more for the pro-camp with their approach.
People who find the discussions and the fact they always get personal annoying seem to outnumber pro and anti, and that is taking into account most will just ignore the thread.
Opinions seem fixed, making discussions pretty pointless anyway. Your either vehemently pro, or anti. Anyone floating will run a mile from the topic because of the amount of venom.

I suggest we call this a fail, delete any mention of 10/80 on sight, and gift all 10/80 related traffic to FnH. They love that shit.

Thoughts?

You go to the pub to have a quite beer with your mates, shoot the breeze and wind down. You chose that pub because the publican politely offered a code of conduct that fits with you. There's quite a lot of you like that there, that's why you like it.
If you wanted to go to the "doof doof" club down the road, where you cant hear yourself think for all the racket that's you choice, but you don't.
I'm happy to offer directions to those who prefer the "rave" scene. Do we need to put up a streetmap down by the gents door?

Hand up, I know, I know... The sort of pub where you are only allowed to talk Rugby.

I cant afford to go to the pub, which is why I spend far too much time on here

"doof doof"...hahahah

Hi Tussock.
Personally I believe there is a place for the debate, albeit, contentious, surrounding the use of poisons like 1080 because the effects are perceived to be a threat to hunting and fishing and the related environments by more than just a few. Others may feel the use of such poison is of great benefit to their sports of hunting and fishing. It is an issue important to Hunters and Fishermen.

I think there should be a specific subject thread created for the issue such that it is not just randomly appearing within the Hunting, or the Fishing, dogs, or other thread main headings.

Obscene posts can be subject to the same discipline as on any other thread.

My 2 cents.

Agreed

he who has the power aye.

These threads are shit, you see. People are unable to not act like children about certain things and 1080 is one of them.

I disagree with the first part but you seem to be absolutely right about the second part. It's a shame really.

Well, between Graeme and Woody, we seem to have 2 members hell-bent on turning every single corner of this forum into a 1080 debate/argument.

http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...-speaks-18669/

This forum has a very simple rule : no politics or religion. i might be wrong, but in NZ the 1080 debate IS either politics or religion Every single one of the 1080 threads ends up in a typical NZHS goatfuck.

Two options I can see : either delete the threads, or create a separate board for 1080 issues, so that those of us who want to avoid it can do so and continue to enjoy the forum.
