I am sorry Nathan. Maybe this time you were not attacking me. Maybe I thought that because you have repeatedly called me names including yogi , liar etc in many of your posts you were doing so this time. Maybe you were being kind and really wanted information since you directed the post to "someone from Oregon". The reality is you began a thread about outdoor recreation in Oregon. Obviously I am the only poster from Oregon and I have mentioned one of my interests is outdoor recreation. Then you chastise me as a know it all when I research the issue and comment even though you asked for someone from Oregon to comment.

This is a partisan issue in Oregon and because usually you do immediately jump to supporting the republicans I might have assumed you were doing so as you have in all your other posts.Because you did not provide any links or specific information or research I found it for you.

Nathan could explain why for the third time you start a thread about an issue close to where I live and about my personal interests than critisize me for it when I answer. I would expect any poster to be able to intelligently answer a question from their local area about one of their interests. Yes you mentioned a magazine but 5 minutes of news search found the case, the lawmaker and the story. You relayed the story in a MISLEADING way stating the State of Oregon was imposing this when it was one republican backing a wealthy republican landowner. It was very partisan issue in Oregon. It was not a yuppie but one of the wealthiest families in Oregon for generations that tried to restrict access.

I apologize for assuming you directed the question to me. I was not aware there were other posters from Oregon you directed it to. I apologize for assuming the yogi was namecalling to me. You have called me that on 3 occaisons which I ignored.. I made that assumption because although I have never once addressed it until this thread you have called me the Oregon yogi, a liar and a know it all when I answer threads you begin about Oregon or my field of work. I should not have assumed this was a continuation of your history. Not once in all the namecalling, personal attacks and threads you have begun have I responded with anything but information on topic or kindness and ignoring your pettiness.

I am not perfect nor do I know it all. I do try to only post when I think I can contribute something to a thread. Would you prefer I post on threads I have not researched or know nothing of so you will feel better about yourself? I enjoy posters that share their experiences and knowledge and do not feel threatened. I give you my sincerest apology that I answered this question about my state and one of my hobbies. It upset you I was able to research and answer it. I am sorry that I assumed after repeatedly being called names by you I thought you were up to your old tricks. I am sorry that when you posted the question for someone in Oregon I was naive enough to take it seriously.

Well I am leaving for work so please enjoy your day and Peace Nathan.I have nothing personal against you. You seem like a proud grandpa and only after at least 15 posts of personal attacks did I even notice your posts.
