Byron, i've been noticing it too, i believe your right. I think that one or two of those we know as lefties are just that and nothing more. They are outdoorsman who also happen to be politically left leaning and they're here to hang out with us. Cool, its good to have a very small opposing minority

Then we got something else going on entirely. These few i speak of have no trades, few posts and hardline opinions. Noone knows them anywhere else in GBO other than on the political forums. They use "tactics" in their posts and i cringe when i see our members fall for it and reply to them. Their arguments are winding and the topic ever shifting. There IS no arguing with them, they only waste your time in trying. How i wish, to see their posts go unanswered, if they can't be banned altogether.
Although i haven't picked up on a user with multiple GBO identities, i do think i've picked up one who has one identity here but multiple people manning the post. From this one i see varied intellect, its obvious theres different mindsets and personalities from week to week..could be drug or alcohol speaking too possibly.
I get more entertainment from studying some of their posts than i would from engaging them. Makes me happy to see very very few folks on here really let the lefties get their goat, i'm always impressed to see the intelligence and common sense outdoorsmen in general seem to possess. J
