As usual, I missed all the drama preceding the boot and deletion of the bloody crime scene....

BS's persona and prose reminded me of one Clete Purcell, a character in James Lee Burke's crime novels. Both are entertaining in their proper fictional context. Neither have a substantive impact in my daily life. The real Stick probably could. I do wish that the real man behind the BS persona could show up somewhat in this venue and share some of his knowledge, stories and spectacular photography from life's unique experiences up north rather than playing the part of an internet, ultramag tough guy.

Stick, you're a big dude. You have big rifles, big fish, big chainsaws, big opinions and maybe even a big heart for those close to you. In real life, I'd bet that you're someone that would be truly appreciated in camp when it comes time to pack out a Yukon moose or add laughter to the midnight howl of a wolf while the campfire make a glass of Pendleton glow like the northern lights. Your also likely a big enough man to privately apologize regardless of the outcome. Until the mods decide to give you another chance or your own forum, I wish *you* the best....
