I've been thinking how social media forums descend into gutter speech and bravado smack that is not tolerated in face-to-face social settings. I challenge every person on aldeer to consider your individual responsibility to this forum. What you say and how you say it is completely within your control. You decide whether to use speech that is honorable or dishonorable, clean or filthy, kind or hateful, constructive or destructive, appropriate or inappropriate. There are lots of honorable folks on this forum who consistently take the high road. But there are some on here who seem to look for ways to drag conversations into the gutter, knowing there will be followers who pile on and help drive it down the low road.
The thermostat sets the temperature of its surroundings. The thermometer reflects the temperature of its surroundings. Which are you?
According to aldeer policy: "... you will not use this board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law." If this gets consistently enforced, aldeer will be better for it.

Thank you for the reminder and accountability.
Many things are better left unsaid.

Not a specific incident. Lots of incidents. It has been weighing on my mind for some time.

Predictable hypothesis and theology based on the profile of today’s wildlife biologist, do you smoke a pipe too ? Does the differing opinion from another more “supreme” member constitute “the gutter”? Everything you describe is the complementary Yin & Yang of life brother. “No good without bad, no clean without dirty”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yangWould the claim or speculation that CWD is spread by deer urine or feeding be a violation of Aldeer policy since the theory is akin to Al Gore’s plastic bottle global warming theory? Gosh dang liberals and their intolerance.

JohnnyLoco, I respect your right to express opinion. I welcome civil debate. Personal attacks and pettiness is a waste of time. I have found Micah 6:8 to be a meaningful verse to guide my strong willed self.

The “Thermostat” contains a “thermometer” and attempts to control the temperature within a box, so y’all don’t feel bad for being outside the box. Some folk can withstand more extreme temperature changes.
