Totally agree with your second paragraph. I guess any time I've competed (football, track, lacrosse, bjj, pool, arm wrestling, etc...) I've been very aware of trash talking from both competitors I know and those I don't.

Honestly, I hope that the actual frequency of trash talking is more on the level that you've experienced; that would indicate progress as far as sportsmanship .

Look, all I'm saying is that if you're competing, don't be surprised if your opposition says something negative to you, about you, etc. Some guys actually do this on purpose to put their opponents on tilt.

IMHO, it's far better to know how to deal with these negative comments, then to attempt to remove them (which you can't).

An individual does have control over how they react to these negative or racist comments; it's a choice to let it affect you.

Yeah, let's not ignore the fact that almost EVERY form of competition at every level has elements of "offensive language" and racism. Often times the person trash talking is just going for the most offensive word/phrase of the day to illicit a reaction.

While it's not right and these parents need to be removed, maybe we can put more effort into overcoming these feelings of being offended and how to persevere regardless.

Or we can cancel sporting events, remove spectators, and nerf the world...

Brand new truck, not getting them adjusted (they are LED), and not turning off Auto (what's the point in having it?)

If you're getting run off the road because of high beams then you really shouldn't be driving.

It feels like the seasons have 'shifted' a couple of months. But, that is just my 40 years of personal experience/opinion without actually looking at any data.

Yeah, born and raised here in VT. And because I know the woods and the type of people that abuse property rights, you bet your ass that I'm posting aggressively.

I don't give a flying F if they've hunted there for generations. I worked my ass off to buy that land and things change.

Attitudes like yours are why VT is having a problem attracting people to live here.

So I guess I'll go back to Killington?...jackass

I just bought the land so these guys probably don't know that there are new owners. I saw them on game cameras and the land isn't posted yet.

If I saw guys with rifles on my land AFTER posting I'd try to get vehicle tags, then report them. If I can't find a vehicle I would approach them, ask if they saw the signs, and then tell them that they are trespassing. All with a concealed sidearm ready to go.

No trespassing, hunting, fishing, trapping, etc. Yellow plastic Posted signs set as specified by the state, signed and dated, registered with the town.

No permission will be given to anyone who isn't family or friend.

Cellular cameras installed in key areas, backed up with WiFi cameras.

Sounds like overkill but in the 2 months I've owned the land I've seen dozens of guys on my land with rifles.
