No one is calling anyone an idiot. For one who made a joke a few posts ago, its a pity you cannot seem to see other humour or tongue in cheek comments.
Whats all this holes in claims rubbish? Pot calling the kettle black, springs to mind the accusatory most insulting innuendo comments seem to be coming from Animal Lover and yourself mainly.

I understand you are on defense mode over the right to hunt thing - thats ok, fair enough, but no need for all the innuendo. I ''get'' your behavior, I ''get'' your point, there is no need to keep on it like a dog with a rabbit - (excuse the pun).

There are no holes in my claims - I do what I do and know it to be true and I am who I say that I am -have no need to invent stuff. There are some over active imaginations, and apparent paranoia at work (as in this thing about that I am someone else who posted here before for instance - I am not that person). It is wearing very thin now, are you going to stop it.

Why is administration allowing this to happen is another question that I have?

I have a question--since when did anyone need a right or permission to want something?

Since folks like Catlady have declared that hunters should not have the right to hunt since it their want/desire that precedes the action that would strip away hunting rights, my point should be obvious.

I think so, but just so we're clear...you're saying that a right to opinion is required when said opinion is, #1, declared, and #2, the declared opinion is that another is not deserving of a given right or privilege (in this case, hunting).

I've always been under the impression that I can hold any opinion I see fit. Is this not the case where CatLady resides?

My problem doesn't rest with her opinion unless it interferes with my right or the rights of others to hunt. PLEASE!! notice the header of this thread where it becomes apparent that Catlady is doing more then offering an OPINION.

Well, Ante started the thread, but I could see CatLady joining the GAHC if that's what you mean. Even then, so what? She has as much right to do so as you do (the privilege) to hunt.

Yeah, so? You'll have to forgive me. All due respect to CatLady, but I'm not terribly concerned with what an anti-hunter or AR proponent posts in opposition to my own views on a discussion forum, especially one claiming to sleep no more than 4 hours a night. I honestly don't see what the threat is here.

Everyone has a right to an opinion and a right to express it. I am not going to change my basic views and nor are the people who have been regularly replying to my posts. I do not like hunting and never will - all this harranging will not alter it.
I do acknowledge that I cannot stop hunting happening and that some people appear to enjoy it (why is beyond me if I am to be honest, because having witnessed it from a spectator personal POV and taken part in it many years ago, it is distasteful to me) but everyone to their own.

I came on a bit strong in my earlier post here which has caused some sheer bloody-mindedness and relentless negativity and picking holes (actually in hindsight a good expression for whats been happening here) in almost every thing that I post, my integrity and honesty have been under fire and every post I make regardless of what it says they still keep on tending to harp back to the first one and have also suggesting that I am somebody else whom used to post here. On their part it has gone beyond expressing an opinion and has become something totally different. So...ho hum...

One great thing, I caught the 2 forest cats at last thanks to extreme weather, (these are the 2 pushed my sleep times over the limit) it happened finally at the weekend during a very cold blizzard (siberian type conditions) which made it easier to do, one gave-up and came in on Friday and the other held out until 6AM Sunday. So if there is any more hunting nearby they will not be in the forest at that time.

Well, that sounds good for the kitties.

From the information gleaned here Cat-Lady, do not be concerned or share your thoughts, ideas, or reasoning with this one. She will attempt to drag you down into a morass of illogical weirdeness. Even here, at this early point in the conversation, she accuses you of not "actually" knowing anything about feral cats and therefore not able to advocate for their welfare. Obviously, you can probably figure this out .... and yet, I will give you the heads-up. Don't even bother .... She accuses you of basing your knowledge on somethinbg you have heard about or read about ... whereas most of us can figure out that you are dealing with a true situation ....

It seems clear that you do not like the actions of the hunters in your environment and you are concerned with the cats, both feral and otherwise. Seems we might be discussing the rights of the hunters vs. your concerns re: the cats and possibly other animals including the well-being of humans in the area. Seems that some of the hunting might be legal while some may not (birds?). Either way, the well-being of the cats is an important issue and one that you have taken on. There might be some "yahooos" in your area, or in other words, those who don't give a hoot for the environment just as long as they can have some fun. From what I underastand, this is your concern.

I am sumarizing here. Just listening ...

Grizzly! Please ... we ALL show responsibility ..... it's what we are made of, no matter the system. Ante is neither a freeloader nor a loser .... and neither are you ... and neither am I .... or any of us! We seem to have different opinions about "HOW" to be responsible. We all work hard ... sometimes creating things, sometimes nurturing others ... it's all good. I think we might do well in trusting one another. Ante is not your enemy. Grizzly - you have some smarts - maybe more than some - use them!
