The initial post was fine.



However even with the best of intentions, good posts can go a bit sour (sometimes a lot sour) and unexpectedly.



When a highly-charged topic appears (in this case 'hunting/hunters') it has the potential to create a lot of long-thread flame wars that push relevant information about the actual forum topic right out the window. Sometimes these 'fights' can make the forum a not-so-nice neighborhood for people to want to visit.



As such,



There is nothing wrong at all with people posting the occasional off topic or divergent type discussions on the regular discussion forums as long as it does not create a noticable disruption to the members on that forum.



If an off topic/divergent subject matter does create a problem then there is the choice of either moving it to the appropriate forum, moving it to the Open Discussion forum (where almost anything goes), or simply pulling the entire discussion or just the 'fight' parts off the forum completely depending on which is the better course of action.



In this case, the more appropriate action was to move the conversation over to the Open Discussion forum rather than pulling the 'bickering' portions of it off.
