Yep, I feel a good rant boiling up inside of me but I'm controlling my fingers and reminding myself that I don't own the sand box I'm just playing in it.
Please recommend a pasture fence design

The pasture planning topic is a great discussion!
I want to get some electro netting next year....I have a large mesh covered run, and an adjacent area that could be divided into 3 separate areas for rotational grazing.
RedBeard has prompted me to do a drawing of it....hmmm...might post it later.

Sorry ... Carry on.
Try being on the receiving end of a firearm and catching the projectile with your body resulting in a little PTSD. Then have to look at such as part of a joke. The possibility of rant can come from many directions when some parties do not realize firearms in the hands of someone not your friend or simply being irresponsible is not pleasant.
I'm sorry the staff offered you no explanation. I'll offer my perspective on the photos. I personally have no issue with responsible gun ownership. I respect those that take the time and effort to keep, maintain and use them safely. I appreciate that, for many people, guns are a means of putting food on the table and a necessary tool in preserving their safety and well-being. I respect guns. I grew up with guns in my home. My dad had hunting rifles and handguns. Heck, he worked for Colt's Manufacturing. In more ways than one guns put food on our table.
I was put off by your photos because of their gratuitous nature. The pictures were not needed to make your point. Regardless of the conditions under which it was taken, the intent was to alarm. I'm rather sure you didn't wake up one day and say to yourself, "I'd like to take a picture to show people what it is like to view a gun that's loaded with a dummy round from the angle of a camera on a tripod." As i viewed your picture it felt to me as though you wished to alarm me by aiming your weapon at me, albeit in a remote and arguably "safe" manner. Your photo became, for me, something bordering on a glorification of guns, not as a necessary tool for safety and survival, but as a means to incite or manipulate others. That rubbed me the wrong way.
I'm sure there were some that saw it as scary or politically incorrect or inflammatory or whatever. Maybe some weren't personally bothered but might be worried about how others, especially children that view this site, might be affected by the photo. I don't know. But for me your photo took everything that gun ownership should be, wrinkled it up, and tossed it out the window. Perhaps you didn't consider that it might be seen that way.

Played with my cad file of homestead... 164 feet makes a pretty big area in my back field.
Could get 2 good areas from one door in the run.
Not sure I can use the netting 'open ended' to span a door from run?

Let's not do this here.....I really regret even mentioning it.
I can respect that. I do think that he deserved an explanation of why some might be offended though. Without an explanation there is no opportunity for understanding. Perhaps a private message would have been more appropriate but then others who might find some benefit from reading my perspective would not have seen.

Geez... he said sorry more than once!
Sigmund Freud would have plenty of angst to study here.
Let's just enjoy the valuable info being offered here and ignore the temptation to browbeat somebody.
I was the one that originally egged him on with the "other" topic.

Thank you so much for recommending this breed that I've never heard of before.
I was lucky enough to put an Original Ladner Cur under my Christmas tree for my family.
My oldest boy named him Musket and is looking forward to treeing some Squirrels.
