I've watched a lot of you newcomers hiss and spit like little kittens - and I've watched the ones that have the guts and desire to stick around, actually begin to respect Caustic. I know I do. Once the ground lines are in place and you pay attention to what he has to say instead of taking it all so personal - might not be a friendship or an amicable relationship, but it's not near so hostile as two tomcats meeting when you both post on the same thread.
....
I'll side with Caustic - all I see is a children packing up their red wagon and going home. I've never had any problem with the way Caustic says things because that's the way I want to hear it. I don't like people beating around the bush, I don't like flattery, and I don't like having to read between the lines to find the hidden message. I'd rather it all be told straight from the beginning. Not that I usually say it that way, but that's the way I like to hear it.
.....
You don't argue about common-sense things like not feeding chicken litter and you'll get along fine. Stick with basic cow raising questions and you'll get along fine so long as it doesn't slip into debates about massaging calves, the ethics of floating downer cows, and how much a cow costs per year. Why bother with all the insults anyways? makes for some hilarious reading but that's about all.

few days. No need to announce it to everyone.
By leaving your name listed others that you have made friends with can PM you and you can PM them. That is worth something.
So if you want out, just GO.

Dont worry about me running off, or quitting. lol I will dissappear at times (the job demands it) But I will always be back.
I dont agree with the way people (dont know if it was you or not) go after kids (teenagers) on this forum from time to time.
Its classless and low. You are very right the young man handled himself well. (further proof that the nonsense wasnt right) But thats not the point, when the size 13 shoe is applied as with your boys I would hope the person would not just be harsh but REALLY care about the outcome.
I know thats much to ask of a forum, but I am tired of people ripping our young people up, all for a one liner in most cases.
So call me an old Dad I can take it, I have been called worse.lol

A good Texas BBQ with seats right in front of the pit for a cheering section, you get the idea.
Oh, one of the rules is you have to fight in your underwear and the losers can't whine anymore.

As for "my hobby" think again caustic and others. This is not a hobby (and get over it Im not a cattleman, Im a farmer. You know someone who can do more than just one thing at a time ;-) )

This is just a message board, but this is how life is too. Some people who want to help, some who don't want to, and some who just think that their opinion is the only one that counts. None of this should really be a big deal, just people talking at computer. My guess is that prolly most of the people would be a little more polite if they were face to face, its easy to get worked up when your are typing. Mostly i wanted tell everyone i didnt mean to get everyone fired up and at ends. Ill be busy for a while but i hope yall can all kiss and make up.
