Communication:

There is a rough rule of thumb that human communication is a 7-38-55 proposition. Numbers vary, but principle is sound.

Words are 7% of what we intend, tone = 38%, and body language = 55%

If ever there was a medium to be misunderstood in, this is it.
 
Oh well, look who's a social scientist now! :ROFLMAO: I trust those numbers even add up to 100%!
What I love about HT is I can chill on the tone part and give the benefit of the doubt that our posters are being cordial.
I can't do that on pretty much any other forum on the net. We have a great place here! 🤩

Not by classroom education, I have spent considerable time in the principals office, HR, my ex's therapist, and some post graduate in divorce court.
 
Writing is difficult for me, blank paper blank mind is a lot of what I struggle with. I am cerntanly not good at it, but I try my best. Writing with tone can be very difficult espescialy when trying to be civil. Expressing body language needs a special touch to make it visible and good. Writing well is a talent that few have mastered. But for those who have I think those percentages would be altered.
 
I often thought that I wrote pretty good. My English teacher in HS, wasn’t convinced of my writing skills. ☹️

Articulating one’s thoughts in a cognitive manner eludes all but a few! 😉

I’ve always wanted to write a book, actually wrote a couple of short stories and even tried my hand at a magazine article with photos. Craig Boddington shot (pun intended) me down on my magazine article.

I thought that my book would contain many of my life experiences …..even had a “catchy” title. But, I’m too lazy to actually write/type the book ……and very likely, I’m the only one that would read it. I’m certain I’d enjoy it…..I’m easily entertained. 😜 If I want to do it, I need to “gitt’r done”…..before my “Brandon” moments have complete control! 🤔 memtb

The greatest help is having members who aren't looking for a fight and act the same online as they would if were were all in a room talking. Majority of forums are chock full of insecure haters wearing hater goggles and seeking to turn everything they read into an affront against them.
 
Maybe to the dismay of a few but when stooges down under is finished, I'm going to extend an apology per se to Feenix, or at least try to let the gentleman know that all was in jest. 🤷 figure that's the least I can do.

Just sayin.

This place is too awesome to allow jokes to destroy what we have here!!! I think it's special.

Why apologize for something you weren't sorry for while you were doing it? If an apology isn't sincere it's worse than none at all. Just my take. You certainly do you, Joe!
 
Maybe the word apology was the wrong choice. I feel he's no different than any of y'all and there's quite a few of y'all that I've sent private messages to just to let you know that what I post is theatrical banter and nothing more.

Love you BFD

Sure hope I didn't kill this thread!! It's terrible that @les is under the weather and I hope he is recovering. We sure could benefit hearing from him now.

I'm not under the weather! I'm on the sidelines! I'm recovering. Bone's grow slow. Let's think about the excitement of getting to go hunting! We all get a little goofy when we get to go. I'm going to be honest as well. I am jealous of Joe and Rusty getting to spend a month with Farleg blasting critters. My neck is healing slowly. My pain level has gone down. I am discovering I have a lot of awesome colleges and friends. I'm enjoying reading the forum, and looking forward to pulling the trigger again. I'm thankful I'm not dead. I could have easily been totally paralyzed.
One of my first questions for the doctor on May 1st is how much recoil can my injury endure.
 
I knew I would ruffle a feather or two. I left hammertime 3 years ago for a brief period over Yorktownsport after he attacked a few of my posts. Quite a few of you spoke up for me and that's what brought me back. And I thank all of you including you Butterbean and I thank you Sir. I stand behind my posts and at times they straddle the line. Granted I am a equal opportunity offender (💩) and I love to make people laugh. I know my pictures of Feenix were only jokes to ME at least. But 85% of all communication is non-verbal. And if he happens to make it to Hammer time even only to attack me, I will simply state to him, after showing my picture of me in curlers getting my nails done, if you can't laugh at yourself you shouldn't laugh at other people. I refuse to treat him any different than any of y'all. I've heard nothing but horror stories of his antics and agenda. And if he or anybody else were to attack any of my Hammer FAMILY, I will attack like a rabid bastard to protect each and every one of y'all. He really must have pissed a few of y'all off. I left long range hunting years ago for being attacked for no reason other than a question and if I could remember who it was and if it was him I think I would change my tune. But until he grows a set of nads and confronts me. I'm going to take the high road. Hatred is like racism and I am by no means calling anybody here racist but it has to stop somewhere. Kill them with Kindness as my grandmother would say.
