To be fair Soapweed, Scott hasn't changed much. He responds in kind, for the most part.
I was here on Ranchers long before Lone Wolf, long before the board had many posts at all. I answered lots of questions, mainly from people with little cattle knowledge and generally basic how/what do I feed etc.
When the discussions started focusing on areas of the cattle biz I wasn't as familiar with, but knew were very important, Lone Wolf showed up. He divulged his real name to me early on, under the agreement I wouldn't blab it. I never did.
However as you have mentioned, his facts and relentless approach to the truth about packer concentration, made it so blamers focused on his identity rather than his message. No one has ever answered the simple question of: "If packers control the beef industry, why do prices go up?"
Recently with his temporary abcence, blamers went wild posting all kinds of lies and innuendo about everything from packers to, USDA to NCBA and just about everything in between.
SH's posts are not about changing the minds of those crazed people that think they have all the answers, it is to provide factual basis.
He has been made to twist a couple times when it has been 5-6 or even 7 against him just looking to find anything to discredit him. To his credit, the only thing they have found, is him missing a date on a bet, and his agressive style.
Love him or hate him, he is a real asset to Ranchers.
