I think you are correct, Bill. Bad manners denigrate the integrity of conversations in any forum, and I supported a member here on that subject. Dave Weber set similar rules for Misfires. As for my liberal opinions, where's the fun when right-wingers display theirs as big as life in a shooting gallery?

No sense in turning over the forum to a part of a party.

It pleased me that there seems a consensus that bird hunters are spotty in their shooting and could honour the birds and the sport with a modicum of year-round practise---and a dog. It sounds elitist but I'd love to hear a discussion about making a regulation of a dog with waterfowl parties.
