On the heels of reading where a member is throwing in the towel over "unfair treatment" on WB, and the "History of WB" threads, let me just throw this out there . . .
WB is my number one place on the web to hang out, interact and learn about outdoor skills . . . and people, by the way they interact!
It's not a perfect place (haven't found one of those in this life - looking forward to it in the next!), but it's entertaining and educational because we are constantly learning what flies and what doesn't by the way we act and interact.
Coming in, we share a common bond of love of nature and the great outdoors. Going out, we are sometimes bruised by brash people who can't seem to disagree respectfully. But that's human nature. It's everywhere . . . the workplace, the school, the church, the home, and yes, the woods!
I have certainly had my share of "run-ins" with some of you here on WB, but you know what? This is a cool place to share your skills, experiences, likes, dislikes, disagreements, questions, answers, and just about anything else on your mind.
There are some people I give a hard time (Blue Jay) and some people who give me a hard time (Blue Jay)!
But hey, BJ, I'd hike or share a campsite with you any day!
And thanks to the mods who do their best to keep it civil, often a thankless job.
