In my humble opinion some of the comments to the recent "batman" (and certain other) post have been a bit over the top; regardless of how well intended they may have been. After reading some of those pointed "batman" comments, I was reminded of the words of Jesus "let he who is without sin cast the first stone"; for although I don't ever recall shooting a bat, I couldn't look anyone in the eye and lie with a straight face that I had never violated a single fish and game regulation either! I rather suspect, assuming everyone could be honest, that very few of those making the negative comments had not also "sinned" at least one time in their distant past.
Personally, life is already too complicated; and although I enjoy reading most of the posts on this educational and often entertaining forum, I don't find confrontation entertaining (when I want confrontation, I watch Bill O'Reilly).
And even though I have never met most of you gentlemen personally, I have the greatest respect for many of the regular posters to this forum; and am constantly amazed and intimidated by the depth of your collective knowledge. This forum has rightly earned a reputation as a solid source of sound information regularly visited by men willing to be generous with their time and words of encouragement. I sincerely hope that civility and positive atmosphere again become the order of the day lest we make some folks, be they old or new posters, a little "gun shy".
