    mods have a tiny bit of power....big deal. What one did at the end of that thread is innocuous.

    meanwhile, trump and the republicans had total control of the federal government for two years. The republicans shut the D's out of everything for those two years. The R's in the senate are stacking the courts with unqualified right-wing judges. The R's have gerry-manderd the shit out of several states, and have been working overtime for decades to disenfranchise minority and democratic voters.The last two R presidents have been beaten in the popular vote, but won anyway because of the obsolete and anti-democratic electoral college;

    right-leaning people have no fucking reason to conclude things are stacked against them

    so LOL at you seeing injustice from the left in a thread in this forum. Yeah right, the libs are meanies with all kinds of power. Fuck that stupid noise, especially considering how many threads here turn into interminable food-fights between the same half dozen posters. Personally, I think there should be a quicker trigger for closing threads that sink into the miasma of I'm-right-you're-wrong-and-stupid redundancy

    so a quick glance and a lock?

    not all convos were the same in there. Im sure in that quick look they were able to see everything and decern there was nothing of value to anyone in there....

    Even another mod was looming to continue the conversation as evidenced by the last post.
    There were no insults or names calling. It was people trying to work shit out or moving on...

    The locking of the thread prooves the point that was even being discussed.
    The irony is real.

    did you read the thread or all the posts? If not, you dont have much say. If you did, then you would have noticed that i and a few others were making the same point you just made. All the threads turn to shit shows because no one will listen and just points fingers aNd name calls if they don't agree with a posters opinion.

    So i get zero point in your post.....

    other than to add to the fingerprinting rather than trying to find a solution for a productive conversation, which was what yankee and i were moving towards when the thread was locked.

    There were multiple flagged posts and PMs sent. Staff attention was being asked for by multiple people. I was not around, a staff member responded to a problem thread and took action.

    I have not read all the posts in that thread but yes, there were some posts that were contributing to a healthy and normal discussion that were being drowned out by insulting, demeaning, and just shitty posts by others. It truly bothers me when that happens and I know that all of the staff tries to avoid closing threads.

    I have not seen your post but instead of making multiple posts about how terrible the staff is here why not make a new thread and restate your post/opinion that you felt was contributing to healthy and informative debate.

    hyperbole. As you defined...

    Right there in bold you said, “I See...

    and then continued on. You implied that.

    but you can try to twist shit even more and prove my point even more.

    have a good night.

    Just say there were a bunch of babies flagging posts and sending PMs or whatever.

    While that was happening I was watching The Pianist for the first time. We all need to snap the fuck out of this shit.

    I think I skipped this movie because of Polanski way back when and I'm running low on movies to watch.

    I closed the the thread. I should have closed it before it began. I admit I had a part in getting it rolling. I shouldn't have. I was bored and had too much time on my hands. We all did.

    We all got a chance to get our thoughts and opinions across. I didn't close it to get the last say, or because I thought one side was winning or losing or to be vindictive, or any of that. I closed it one, because it was becoming a shit show, a I know you are but what am I pissing contest.

    Secondly, and most importantly I realized how it was becoming an obession for many of us. I hoped in locking it, we could go on to other more important things, like spending time with family as I did. With everything that is going on, do we really need to be going at each others throats.

    I'm the monster for saying I'd use Crandc's cat to catch coyotes? I'd keep it alive for further use. Well, I would have but they carry the virus it seems..

    I'll have to stick with using my little dog. I nees to be proactive and build the trap soon.

    It depends on how hungry the coyotes are. They are super weary of traps or anything a human has touched for the most part. I work closely with a "predator management" team and have gone out in the field with them several times. Baited traps rarely work if the coyotes have plenty of available food. Now, coyotes do have a habit of running the same paths every day and rarely veer off their path, so a good old fashioned snare trap is usually the best way to go. Thus, kitty/puppy bait is probably not necessary. Haha

    I don't need a trap. They run all over the empty lot by my shop. It was one of their last little areas to live in. Just need a gun. Had one run through the parking lot by himself last week.

    They look pretty skinny though.

    Find their tracks, follow those tracks to a choke point and set your snare there making sure not to leave much of a scent and disturbing the ground as little as possible. Brush leaves over your foot tracks.
