What we need is to take a vote that guys bury the GD hatchet and get pope back here sharing a bit, he is missed.

I vote they bury the hatchet!

I don't know how I missed that one.  Reminds me of Manny15 or whetever his name is on MM.  That guy would get mad and quit a few times a year!

If you guys want to connect with him I see he is a member on Backcountryhunting.net.

if you look at his profile he has been in here since that happened

Its a bad deal.  He contributed greatly to this site and I miss the Hell out of his pics and stories.  Its amazing what politics will do.  As strong as we are as a website one would think it could get worked out.  Grudges are *censored*ty and sometimes you have got to stand for something.

Pope got mad and left because he was angry that I thought electronic nocks on bows was unethical in addition to other things which he believed was a personal attack on him. Whe have agitated each other over time and after this incident in particular I banned him for a half a day. Instead I thought I had lifted the ban after just a few minutes knowing it would be a gross overreaction but I guess I had left it in place for half a day instead mistakenly. Oh well. Nobody is perfect and there is no taking back some things which have happened. He also didn't like that I didn't believe that his work in Russia during the 1980s was instrumental in the downfall of the Soviet Union. Of course he should be proud of what he did and I don't question that. I believe this was the second tipping point which irritated him over the top. Pope refuses to post by his own decision and states he believes that I will edit or delete any post of his to my liking. I don't believe I have edited his posts and I may have deleted a few over the course of time and locked topics but nothing in a personal nature other than to avoid degrading topics beyond their usefulness. Pope asked that I ignore him so that he can post here freely but I don't believe anyone should have to ignore each other unless they want to and he is free to post. Just as if I post something controversial someone is free to criticize that. I don't really have anything personal against Pope as I don't have time for endless grudges but I will talk on topics which are controversial using my opinions which are not everyone's opinions. People have a hard time digesting that I can actually have and speak about matters strongly and have a point of view on many controversial subjects. Pope can post at his own will and is free to do whatever he likes.

Pope,

Let's start the new year off right and get you back on here contributing like you should be.
