See ya in 2013, when something else interesting comes up on this board.

Oh, well now ya went and crossed the line !!!!!   

Damn kids can't play nice   

[FinsnFur]

Are you guys playing nice in here?
Can I get anybody anything?

[Todd Rahm]

I don't have any problems using of the Cronks I have.  And when it comes to horn howlers I prefere the one piece designs. 

[KySongDog]

I am glad you guys love your Cronk howler.   The tone break was a deal breaker for me so it went to the crap pile.  The new guys who read these atta boy threads about how great the Cronk howler is need to hear a dissenting voice once in a while so they can make an informed decision before plopping down $60+ for a call they will rarely, if ever, use. 

Cronk himself acknowledged he had tone break problems.  So Cronk says

I recently stumbled on a little trick which made a Big difference. There are absolutely zero tone breaks on either of the above howlers.

Well now, that new "stumbling" should put the rest of the howler makers out of business.  I'm proud for Cronk.      But I won't be buying one of them.

Now THAT is an out and out LIE. I will be speaking with my Attorney about possible legal action against this guy.
Jim Champion,
Do you actually allow such attacks over here? I will not tolerate it.
Rich

[KySongDog]

So now you are calling me a liar.  Previously, you called me an idiot.   I think you are the one who needs to worry about being sued for libel.

You are the one who said you stumbled on a way to eliminate tone breaks.  Therefore there MUST have been one there to BEGIN WITH!

So when someone doesn't like your product you threaten legal action.  Pathetic, just pathetic.

Jim Champion,

Rich

It's not that I allow such attacks Rich, it more a case of I try not to censor what is suppose to be an open public forum.
I'll typically step in if the language gets a little too fowl, or if the situation seems to be escalating to the point where someone's safety is publicly threatened.

But dont take me wrong, I'm not condoning what is being said by either party here, and on the same hand I cant allow members to put me in the position to play favorites or choose sides. Thats not what I'm about, and pulling me into this as the bad guy for not offering protection is a bit disrespectful to me.

You've got a world reknown reputation with your calls, I can testify to that personally because I'm the one that has to try and figure out how to get your site to accept payments from such a wide variety of overseas country's, remember? And you certainly do not have any trouble selling to repeat customers, and referrals, I'm aware of that also.
So if your going to let one guys opinion on a product burn bridges for you, then the issues are much deeper then me being an alleged piss poor forum manager.

Reality check;
Remember this post of yours?

Al,

I know what you mean about some of the sounds not being the best. I had a list of a few sounds that I thought should be eliminated, so I talked to Steve about it. I guess that some sounds that one guy thinks is terrible, turn out to be another guys favorite. I suppose it is like fishing lures. The lure that I threw away because I knew it was junk, is favorite lure for someone else.

It's the same thing here Rich, it's just the opinion of one guy.   

[Rich]

Jim,
I see it differently. This guy has slandered both myself and my calls. This could harm my reputation as a call maker. If you can't help me stop him, maybe my Attorney can help.

[Todd Rahm]

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it Rich, he just doesn't like your calls with a lil extra passion.  I don't think it'll ruin your reputation or that of your howlers at all. Its really just one guys opinion, nothing else.

Let your howlers and personal conduct speak for them selves. 

[cityslicker]

When I was looking at getting a howler a couple of months ago I looked at some of the more expensive ones, but couldn't see paying $60-$100 for one. So decided to try a diaphragm howler first, best $10 I ever spent.

[KySongDog]

I have a suggestion.

Rich,  how about you come down to the next LBL hunt.  There will be probably 40-50 hunters there and a lot of them will be new guys.  I'm sure they would welcome the chance to see and talk with one of the old timers of the coyote calling sport.  You could demonstrate your howler as well as your other calls.  I'm sure you would sell some and also get a chance to put a face to some of these screen names you see.     

What do you think?

Semp,
Does this mean that we are friends again? If I thought that we couldn't be friends anymore, I just don't know if I could bare it.

[KySongDog]

Of course we are friends, Rich.  I never thought any different.   Ever since you went on the KY hunting site looking for a picture of me I thought we were best friends.  Do you still have it in your wallet?  If not I'll send you another one. 

We just like to argue once in awhile as friends sometimes do.   

I hope you do consider coming to the LBL hunt.  I think you would enjoy it.
