One of the most epic posts to hit AO occurred in Mid-ish Dec 2013.

I still pull it up when I need a chuckle about forum rules and how to respect one another.

Still open and do not believe it resulted in any moderator action.tiko

I've heard that beeguy ran off with a sultans daughter.

I know that beeguy was banned for being intolerant of bigotry and racism and for calling out a certain few mods who refused to enforce the rules.

Beeguy likes Bees.
In some thread, somewhere in the annals of AO, someone posted that Eddie Izzard sketch about bees in retort to BeeGuy - it could have even been BeeGuy himself. Forever, and inextricably, I will remember BeeGuy by Eddie Izzard running abound on stage yelling "I'm covered in Bees"

I hope it was for your term "Citiodts" that drove me up the wall.

Pretty sure every time one does anything outdoors related, there is "general discussions" happening.

Hell even when one is by one's lonesome one can get into " a general discussion" with ones self.

Some of the guys have a dozen names each, if you watch careefully it is like watching 'split'

Nope. I remember when the fishing forum was the bad boy on the block. It seemed at any given time a 3rd of the threads were locked. Ahhh the good old days.

If General was closed then the garbage would just be spread around a little more. Plus the General has some good debates some days.

Yup. The general posters would be cruising the hunting and fishing sections waiting for an opening to make it political. Example.....hunter292- "got this beauty of a buck north of valleyview yesterday..."........rugs- " and the ndp are trying to close an area over that way to hunting so they can further they're agenda...they must be stopped!! Here's a link!!..." lol. Talking moose also say no!

Nope, but it was for something I said, [posted] if you can believe that.

I apologize if my term citiots offended. I certainly wasn't referring to you.

I do not post to offend anyone. I do that in a pm.

Me too. The fact that we are still talking about him makes him a freaking legend.

Sure, he could be a stubborn pain in arse sometimes, but he always had a good point of view, and was pretty smart for a guy who plays with bugs.

He was a good source of info and was entertaining. We had lots of great discussions and some good arguments. He also shared many of my perspectives and had a similar outlook on social/world topics.

Maybe we should "free the Bee" as a Passover tradition like in ancient roman times, like when Pontius Pilate freed Barabus?

Just remove the "general" chat section,its a sportsman forum....no one cares about whats for supper,keep it going posts.I generally only look at the fishing section because I get irritated at some of the ridiculous questions being asked on general.I also dislike the fact that when someone says I caught this or shot this its instantly challenged by a "pics or it didn't happen" replies.I don't have a clue how to post pics or do I care to. I scan through ICESHANTY in many areas and see nothing but guys giving info on locations,depths,baits etc.

Bee was my favorite nemesis, it was a sad day when he got banned.
