old rooster Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Going to bid you all goodbye as I've looked back over a few of my later postings and feel that I've become too outspoken and political for the site. Apologies to anyone who has been offended, thanks to all who have joined in the various postings and to those who run the site. It's been great fun and I've met some really genuine fellow field sportsmen. Wishing you all the very best. Old Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Dont do it mate ... your posts are always witty and valuable.. I for one would be extremely dissapointed if you called it a day... Please reconsider... FM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookie Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 The whole point of places like this is to allow people to discuss things. Don't leave because you feel you should, wait until the ref sends you off! I've not been offended, so you can't have been that bad.

paulos Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 you shouldnt go because of your beliefs, we need more people who speak their mind like you do. i dont think anyone will have been offended, if they have they obviously have got shootings best interests at heart!

Paul in North Lincs. Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Rooster me old lad....... Most of us have been guilty of perhaps being too outspoken at times, (I know I have) and have had the odd brake away from the forum.... I personally feel that the wealth of knowledge your posts have brought to site have been very informative, and your whitty views have I am sure been recieved in the most positive manner. What is a forum, if it's not for exprerssing ones views?? If you have made your mind up though...... I bid you farewell and all the best Sir.

arjimlad Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Don't let this be the last time we hear this particular rooster. A genuine countryman with a wealth of experience, good humour and ability to share with others. So what that you have opinions - I have some too - please stay !

Axe Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) Old Rooster, I,ve been on since March I think. One thing with forums, you learn very quickly who you can rely on and those that just cower behind a keyboard. You sir have helped provide me with insight and knowledge of a sport to which I had very little understanding before joining the forum. Though I havent participated in full conversation with you, I do hold you in the highest regard and like others will truly miss your presence here on the forum. Like other people have mentioned before me, this is a forum to air you opinions. It is the place to be spoken, outspoken or not. It is not a place that people should be judgemental and any such people doing so, don't belong. I wouldnt worry about anything you feel you have done. People of any calibre will respect you for any of your comments or statements, within reason of course I trust you will reconsider, if not, i'd like to wish you the very best and happy hunting. Kind regards, Axe. Edited July 11, 2005 by Axe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badsworth Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Its all been said by others - but please stay. I value your opinion even though I don'y always share it! B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Old Rooster I think the previous postings show that you are a valued and respected member of this forum so please re-consider and continue with your intelligent and well written contributions. If we all held the same beliefs and opinions the world would be a very dull place to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Old Rooster Don't know you from adam but just 'cause you're a grumpy ol' g** doesn't mean your a bad person Surely a forum should be about free speach 'slong as you don't get tooooo personal or say anything that might get you incarcerated in the tower OR is your reasoning somewhat more than you say...perhaps you think that those b******* last week in London are gonna get you for your (racially?) motivated comments mind you if that's so then they're gonna be after a whole chunk of the population! Stay, I'm sure the majority of members have no problems with your views and even those that might should have the decency to allow that we STILL live in a free country even given that sometimes it don't feel like it. Sad old world when one can't lead off on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piebob Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 OldR - I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said. Don't go - we need different opinions (not that I'm convinced that yours are particularly way out anyway) otherwise we'd have no discussions! As long as we keep everything civil then that is precisely what this forum is about. I value reading posts from all the differing view points, age groups, interests, etc. Stay!

AndyCM Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) Old Rooster, You get my vote too. Stay. Take a couple of days off if you must - have some fun in the countryside somewhere - then you are wanted back here pronto to report on your fun, OK.

Cranfield Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 old rooster, I doubt if anyone has complained about your posts, I certainly have never found them to be "offensive", or "too political". Its the differences of opinion that ensure sites like this survive. Long may it continue, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deako Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Rooster, I think you should reconsider me old mate. I've been visiting the forum for a few years now and we've had loads of disagreements/points of view between a certain 'hardcore' of us! But...most of us are still here and still good mates! It would be a dull world indeed if we all had the same opinion on everything. Come back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernyha Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Ernya, did you remove my post on this topic? :< PP Yes PP because you just said "Bye", as we didn't know whether you were also leaving or giving a curt farewell to Old Rooster. I assumed you would ask and then you could tell us the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
