    thread axed

    I am on this site just about everyday and have enjoyed being a member for 10 years. I have made some great experiences and friends through TBH, I rarely post but stay up to date on what's going on. I just posted on a thread that was a very positive thread stating how young kids at a school help raise over $160,000 for an 80 year old janitor that had to come out of retirement. Within minutes of the thread being created it was taken down because of a negative comment and other members (including myself) commenting about that negative comment.

    I have never felt the need to type my feelings as I prefer to share my emotions/feelings in person or over the phone rather than through text. But I must say, given my recent thread "Deer Meat" and what I saw this morning I am pretty upset about how we are treating one another.

    A positive good post was removed today because of a negative post, and I am not okay with letting negativity triumph over positivity. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs/opinions but I would think as Texans/Hunters/Bow Hunters/Outdoorsman/Men/Woman/Fathers/Mothers/Adults we could be more respectful and understanding. The amount of times that I see someone make a rude/judgmental comment before understanding the entire situation is far too often.

    Lets be better, please!



    Update: The thread was left open, probably because it is a great thread (good on you TBH) but the negative post and posts that called out the negativity have been removed. I am glad that the thread was not removed, always like to see good prevail.

    The thread is still there. You're post was removed because you quoted the negative post that had no place on that thread. In order to get it back to being the positive thread it was meant to be....I removed his post and all posts quoting him.

      Thank you, I appreciate that. Let's focus on the positivity.

        My suggestion would be to flag a mod on the offending / negative post next time you see this come up...under ones avatar / 411 is the ! icon.

        Click it & ask the post to be removed stating you feel it will make the otherwise positive thread go sideways & adds no value to the topic.
