Twofish,

I left the other big site due to racism. 99% of my posts there were either giving or receiving info and hints about the gear we use and collect. It got to the point where I did not feel good about being part of that site. You will find jerks everywhere you go in life, but at some point you need to stand up for what you believe in. Anyway, I left that site for this one and have never looked back.

I received a warm welcome here. Some times a fellow may type quick and not come off the way he intended. I think this site is full of good guys. Please stick around.

While I wouldn't leave that other site, I will admit that since they started their political forum, it's opened my eyes and I no longer think the same way about some people who I used to like and admire

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I agree. There is a guy there who just returned after a long absence. His postings makes me wonder how anyone could ever hang out with him (borderline racist in my eye, no compassion for anyone less fortunate, pushy, etc) Yet I've met him in the past and while a little rough around the edges is one of the nicest guys you could ever fish with. I don't want anything to do with him.
