RE: No. 1 reason to bicker?
Realy what is the #1 reason to argue?
This is a close as we can get (at least till antelope season
) Basically it's because of the anonymousity of the board. It's been said before probably 95% of the people on here would get along in a deer camp.
The other 5% are a-holes no matter where they go.
If you think the odds are much different than that you may be in the 5%

People argue for all kinds of reasons on here.
Here are some observations:
Some people argue because that is their thing, they like to stir it up and probably get great enjoyment from the responses they get.
Others like to argue with certain individuals, no matter what the topic is. They usually have some kind of cheerleading squad or support group.
Many fail to realize that most arguments (especially on these froums) are just differing opinions, often there is no clear cut right or wrong. But rather than accepting that and maybe trying to take something fromsomeone else'sperspective they try to beat their opinion intothe other persons headover and over almost like they expect the other person to say "OK your right, I completely agree with you and have changed my opinion to yours." We all know how often that happens.
I would agree with ignorance causing some but we can't forget the other one, stupidity. If a person starts out ignorant of something and then others try to inform themwith actual facts, crediblereasons, statistical support of a topic and the ignorant person still won't budge he/she has crossed into the stupity zone.
Pride and egos on a Hunting site made up of mostly men, get out of here, you guys don't know what the heck you are talking about.

I agree that I would probably get along with the majority of guys on this board in real world meetings or hunting camps. When you think about it most of us have friends/family we argue, bump heads, etc with but at the end of the day they are still your friends because of their personality, how they act as a person, similiar interests/hobbies, being for the most part good people. Soeven if you do argue/disagree occasionally I feel like that is pretty normal and part of life the one thing about these boards isthis is the only communication many of us have with the other members so it's easy toforget thatsomebody may be a pretty decent person when you are always bumping heads with them on the forums.
