LMAO...well being right behind Soapweed, might keep me safe. Not a bad charachter to be behind. I have cast my vote for my voice. Now, as for as my real oppinion....there will always be wackos and nuts, just the ones that are out to hurt someone personally without care are the ones I feel need to be crusified. And, I have seen where this is a hard crowd to please :wink: . I try to keep most of my oppinions to myself.

Ya'll have a nice day, ya hear....

Considering my posts of the last couple of days, I'm probably one of the biggest "wackos" on here. Sometimes the love of a good fight is just too much. Maybe it's just too long looking at the south end of a cow headed north. :? :???:

I do not want to see anyone censored unless they are using foul language or just being nasty to everyone. We are all able to ignore anyone's posts right now, just don't read it if it offends you. If they use foul language, kick them off.

 

[Cattleman]

I agree Tommy, unless they are being offensive in their posts with their language, then it is very easy for us to ignore and scroll over someones post if we don't want to read it.

The only problem is when there is too much reaction, and you begin to scroll over pretty well everything, then you start loosing the people this site is targeted to....IMHO

Macon,
Kato makes some good points...these posters are looking for a response and when they don't get it, they move on. Hopefully, the board can be self policed by us by not responding. Admittedly, for a hardheaded, independent group that we are, it's hard to do (I had little tolerance for redriver). Those that are warned and continually break your rules...delete them. Another thing you may be able to do...under our names where you have 'member' or 'rancher', you could identify them as 'warned' or 'on probation' and let their action dictate what happens to them. The borderline cases will always be the tough calls...glad you da man! :wink:

Seeing that i really don't know a whole lot about these forums it just seems to me that if you block them they would just register with a different name and come back to be a pain in the backside.
I think ignoring them is all we can do

Soapweed, if that northbound cow you are tired of looking at isn't prolapsed, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS!

We seem to get a couple of those every year, and a hiefer was the first one last week. She may actually survive.

We had three one year, all young cows that were related, about a week apart. We worked hard, got them put back together and stitched up nicely, but all three died. Another one did the same, but she wasn't related to the others. I was getting tired of messing with them, and told my son to just shoot her. By the time he got to where the cow was, she was on her feet and drug her mess behind her as she followed the heavy cows to the corral. I reconsidered, since she seemed to be trying. We put her back together, sewed things into place, and she survived in good shape.

One time in the middle of the night, my brother-in-law found a cow that had a new calf and had prolapsed. He got my dad and they took a tractor out to the scene of the problem. They got a rope on the cow and tied her to a tree. They then hoisted her hind end into the air with the loader of the tractor, so that gravity would be working for them instead of against them. Everything fell into place nicely, and the cow quit straining. They sewed her up, let her down, and proceeded to turn her loose. It was only then that they discovered that as the tractor raised her into the air, the rope pulled too tight, and she choked to death. In the darkness this had gone unnoticed for too long. :? :???: :shock:

Prolapses are a pain in the backside, both for the cow and the caretaker.

I get a little irritated when somebody is consistently posting in the wrong forum. A little leeway is ok, but to do it consistently.......

I humbly beg your forgiveness, ocm. Sorry folks.

 

[RobertMac]

That's a sure way to stop her from straining...kind of hurts the survival rate though.
One time we had to choke down a crazy cow to pull her calf...as soon as we let her get a breath, she tried to kill us all!

We seem to be attracting an ever increasing number of nuts, whackos and single issue posters that have never been involved in ranching in any way.

Nuts and whackos...off with their heads! Hand me the sortin' stick and get outta the alley! :lol:

But what the heck's a 'single issue poster'? Ever walked into the coffee shop and it gets real quiet and everybody is staring at you? Try to look 'em in the eye and they look off? You know they must have been talking about you? :lol2:

I guess that's me. That's the way I feel now. I stick to Political Bull. The old single issue poster, I reckon. Sounds kinda nasty when you put it like that. Single issue poster. Like 'same sex marriage' or something. Yuk.

I hope there will be some kind of test we can take to test out of the cull pen. I really hate to be lumped in with the nuts and whackos. Maybe a brief quiz? An aptitude test? :roll:

Hey! Had an idea! How about sewing up a prolapse for a skills test? Anybody ever sewed up one with a coke bottle in it? Or would that make me a whacko? Well, not me, because I wouldn't ever admit to doing something like that. I bet the first guy that ever did it got called worse than a whacko. What was he thinking? :lol: Ooops...I got the thread off on a tangent. Soapweed's fault...

If I have to go, I have to go. I'll sure play by the rules and never look back. Well...that's a lie...I'd sure look back. I'd really miss some of you guys, so I would probably have some regrets for not sharing my wisdom(?) {:lol2:} in more places around here-if that's all it takes to get to stay. I just hope that if I have to go, disagreeable swings from a rope, too.

I'm not even sure how to vote, myself. I think for now, I'll do like a Clinton and wait and see for sure how it's going to turn out. :wink: I'll vote later. If I'm still here then...

 

[smalltime]

I must be just plain dumb but I didn't see any nut's or wacko's anywhere on this site.Just plain everyday people in your nieghborhood.

 

[kolanuraven]

It's simple....read what someone had to say...if you don't agree with it or it doesn't " jive" with your life plan....don't read'em again. You don't need a " ignore" button for that.


And WHO is gonna sit and READ every single post and by whose standard or " measuring sitck" will posts be measured against???

Seems like A LOT of work for someone......

Soap, you did not even come to mind, but if the shoe fits :lol:

 

[CattleRMe]

I agree with kalanuraven and believe I've said it before just ignore it works wonders. Hard for someone to get all stirred up if no one is stirring the pot. Seemed to me a lot of people liked to keep ole stevec all stirred up. In fact he got entire forums dedicated to trying to insult him. To me at times it was like a yard full of naughty school children all in a clique ganging up on the outsider. Not that I was his fan but come on some of you jumped together on him like a pack of mad dogs. Never realizing how silly you looked having your say then saying ok back to ignoring stevec. If you had truely been ignoring him you'd have skipped over his posts all together. I know I did on an occassion or two.
