For anyone wondering - is Tony's last comment not answer enough about whether the subject of this thread (and the others like it at the moment) are a welcome subject?
He's seen the discussions, asked people to stop the personal ranting and allow it to continue.
How much clearer does it need to be?
I think it does need to be clearer, you misrepresent me in saying that this subject and others like it are a welcome subject, far from it, this thread is being tolerated. There are plenty of other sites and forums that cater for survivalism as the main part of their existence. The odd thread on here is fine but the amount of rubbish that come with the subject is unacceptable. This is a bushcraft website that caters for bushcraft interests and not survivalism, it does cater for survivial skills, knowledge etc but it does not cater for many of the attitudes and subject matters that make up the general term of survivalism.
It's a hard line to draw on where they overlap and that causes problems because it's based on opinion but I hope that make things a little clearer. I'm closing this thread down as it's gone way off subject, it's not worked out and I think that too many will see it as an opportunity to talk survival when we are a bushcraft website.
