    I believe "The one who shall not be named "got his account and posts deleted, so that is not impossible to do.

    I mean, we can choose to delete whoever we like. I'm just not aware whether users have the ability to delete themselves. I am expending zero effort investigating.

I don't think 35whelen is saying they hate the site, but just want to delete their presence off the internet as a whole as much as possible. After all, maybe in some dystopian future, a dear leader will find something you said two decades ago that is worthy of prosecution, and your entire family line will be punished for it. Just joking, probably wont happen. Maybe. Heard cases of people getting fired from a job because an angry internet mob found out that their father said something 'offensive' on a website one or two decades previously.
    That's one side of the coin. The other is the argument in favor of keeping everything so that the keyboard warriors who become completely unhinged do not get an opportunity to "sanitise" their posts.

    To me, the ability to edit / correct your post for 30 minutes (or whatever it is), followed by it being here forever strikes a reasonable balance.

    Yes, absolutely they do exist on the forum. What I meant was that I admire posts where there are photos of the end use of the animal as well as the field action all on the same post. That is what I meant by 'photos of dead animals in isolation' where only a dead animal is shown in the post ( in isolation).
    I am not intending to seem over sensitive about dead animal photos, just pragmatic about public perception of hunting sports. Look at how many Rodeos have been stopped by animal rights groups who think a bull is really harmed by being ridden.

    I disagree with the assertion " there is a segment on here etc. and that they make a fool etc." I contend that it is the members that loose their tempers and attack the person and not the post that disrupt the forum. If we can accept that happening as normal in any group of people sharing their opinions, the forum becomes a great learning tool for those of us not well versed in online debate.
    To control what topics are posted is an attack on free speech and freedom of expression. Would you have us give up those rights voluntarily to censorship?
    As far as my own posting and thread starting have a look.

    And my best wishes to the OP in their future path

    Seeing as you asked, it is .303 with fixed power X 4 Tasco scope and FMJ projectiles with hollow point drilled in your home workshop.
