Yes, it did hurt I really bit my tounge when pressed against my cheek

For your information Dibenedetto wrote a chapter on Al and a magazine article. Al got paid nothing.
I always thought "interviews" were not paid.

Quote:

Stripersurf is Bob D'amico whom Al speaks highly of.
At least Al got paid a stipend for my interview.s. Email him and ask him. He said you guys wouldnt turn him down for interviews And this is his idea Mr Jonny.
I know who SS.com is. Don't know the guy, have no opinion either way on Bob. Al approached us, S-B, for an interview? Hmmm, don't know who he approached but it would have probably been me and I never got that call. I don't want to interview him, I'd rather cast a line and BS with him. I have no desire to do interviews - not my thing. No disprespect to Al but I wouldn't interview him because I don't assume I talented enough to do it. Not every site is trying to scratch and claw and scoop and spam and link its way to the top.

Screw you . You wont have to bounce me. I'll see you in the rear view mirror.
:wavey: I'm not obsessed with passing you or concerned of being passed behind. I enjoy our little fishing community where we get together and talk fishing online, we meet up and fish from rocks and beaches and boats. People trade their own wonderful creations of turned wood into something that will fool a bass. People have met and created great, lifelong friends as a result of this site. Anglers have learned and shared skills. I have made lifelong friends from this site. As a result, it doesn't matter to me how big we are or how much money is made, it's about a fishing community that is freikin' awesome. People that give a rat's ass. that just happen to share the same passion. The sooner you learn that, the more fun you will have - trust me. If it's a business it won't be much fun and it can't be much of a labor of love. This site is just that for me. I can't make great plugs or build fancy rods (well, they ain't too bad :hihi: ) and I can't get a line wet as often as I'd like but I can enjoy this community. That's what I do and that's what this site is about - the community.

I've seen who your moderators are. You might want your New England moderator to be someone that actually ventures outside
"fishing under the railroad trestle in the Hampton marsh" and your Gear and Tackle guy to have known what a danny is for more than the last 6 months :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Oh
ok

I refuse to sign up on his site to ask him, maybe he should fess up and tell the truth on his own site. Otherwise he is laughable.

I'm sure I'll read the article when I have the chance, that was one helluva fish Al caught.

Oh no, if its not CAL running his tinhorn yet again. I'll be damned.

So whats wrong with Jim's Moderators? For one thing, if you actually thought you could run your mouth about me in a thread and not have me find out, uh-ah cupcake. Secondly, I fish from the Kennebec River in Bath, ME down to CT. throughout the season. So I think you should get your facts straight before you spew any of your internet swill and negativity about me. You and your canalpal Beach(sleep)walker seem to have some of the biggest chips on your shoulders in the online Striper community. Calvin, I probably travel and fish more in one month than you do all season, so please spare me your tirades. Also, if you would have opened your eyeballs a little more, you wouldve noticed there is more than one NE Mod.. I suppose now you'll make fun of Briggs for fishing the Rhode Island beaches, or maybe make fun of Charlie for fishing Plum Island? You act like an infantile buffoon CAL. Kill yourself.

You will also notice that unlike here, Mods. dont call members "jerks" and other names. Most of the Striper boards online have been BLOWN OUT & GAPPED OUT like an old Motley Crue groupie, by people like you CAL. Alot of people get sick of the atmosphere people like YOU bring to a community. This is the reason for other people starting newer boards.

And if your such a big, brawny man, and you have such a problem with the Hampton Estuary and its trestles, why not pick your bitch tits up and come on out and we'll have a little good ol fishin' derby :D That way, you could tell me your problem with me to my face, and not post your snide little remarks on your fave Striper message board.

Oh yeah, I've known about Danny plugs a little longer than 6 months buddy lol. You think because it was my first season actually throwing wood that big, that I never knew about them? LMAO. Your a mental midget. Go lay down.

jugstah 08-19-2004 06:27 AM

JB, yeah I know....I'm always starting up with people here and causing problems :smash:

I don't know if I got a chip on my shoulder as big as BW though :laughs:

Why don't you go on back to your board and take that
:spam:master with you.

JohnR 08-19-2004 07:56 AM

Johnny B - you've been walking around here with some attitude too while you've been here. So it's not like it is unusual, right?

As for Mods calling people jerks, that must be me calling that out to Jim because that is all I've seen. And you know, it's pretty rare when that happens that I get worked up like that. But like the last time Jim came here, he spammed. He didn't ask to post this, he just did it. If he had asked last time, he would have probably received a different reception. But if you ask, you might just get turned down. So why be nice and ask when you can stir up a little controversy instead :rollem: ... Yeh, he's the victim here - IT'S THE INTERNET - don't take it so friekin seriously....

beachwalker 08-19-2004 08:17 AM

Cal,

I ain't got no chip. I am basically just a #####.

thats my story and I am sticking to it :laughs: :laughs:

sorry about the language john :(

Saltheart 08-19-2004 08:18 AM

I'm reading all this and thinking what a jerk! Then i get to the part where he thinks everyone will leave this site and go to his cause of John's comments this thread! That was a good chuckle. :) :)

You should have quit while you were ahead 247.

just think , if your site ever does grow to be successful like this one , you will start to atrract lots of people.....just like you. You deserve it!

bloocrab 08-19-2004 08:31 AM

This post should be deleted/moved/yada-yada-yada....I don't see anything positive coming from this anymore. We, including myself will only add negativity to it. It's a dead horse - let's move on. My example above :D....

My thoughts on striper247.....below



:gf:....yeah, he's a snot picker.

Jonny Bolt 08-19-2004 11:56 AM

JohnR, I've been walking around here with a chip on my shoulder since I've been here? LOL. That's comical. I come to this board about 2 times a month, and out of the 10 or so threads I've started here, about 9 of them were hijacked, raped, and taken way off topic without a murmor from the Staff here. Much like this thread has turned into kukkah.

So I come into a thread about Jim and Al, a thread I have absolutely nothing to do with, and see CALiente throwing out remarks and comments about me, and dragging me into it when I wasnt even here! Thats a riot! Just dragging me through the mud, all the while he was hoping I'd never see it. I had NO REASON to even be here, until CAL chose to spit some of his venom at me. Mr. Big #^&#^&#^&#^&talker, always talkin' about somebody, but not doin' much else.

CAL, you should be a man, and say things to peoples faces.

You guys have a problem with Jim because of something he posted, thinking others would be interested in it, then you have a problem with how he tries to explain himself, then its attack time and the silly comments fly. Whatever. If the Mods. here knew better, they wouldve REMOVED the friggin' post before any replies couldve even been posted. BUT NO. Not here. Here, they keep the post up, and let the Peanut Gallery attack the poster, and hey, the Staff even gets involved in it, throwing out comments and calling people names, next thing you know, the whole thing explodes into a free for all, and people who werent even involved in it and had no idea it even existed are dragged into it by one of the infamous Peanut Gallery. Yeah, you scream spam. If its spam, then why not delete it the moment its posted? LMAO. Why? Because it was only spam after you decided you didnt like it anymore. Only after Jim tried to defend and explain himself. Only after you allowed it to become a cess pool and a free for all did you deem it spam. The Staff on this board is all but USELESS, and needs to be updated. Just my opinion.

Did you ever stop and think that maybe Jim read something one of you wrote out of context? Maybe he read it wrong. Maybe he is worked up. Maybe he had a bad day. But theres no goddamn slack given here. Just attack mode, and no Moderation to limit it. I have read all of your posts in this thread, and I can honestly say that I cannot believe you fellow (supposed) Striper Fishermen treat other this way. You act like childish little brats to each other. Might as well scratch and pull each others hair. I fully understand now why a number of people have told me they dislike the feeling they recieved when coming to this board, and no longer wish to participate here. You can make fun of 247 or any other site/board you want, but you've been up for what? 7 years? 247 has been up for 4 months. And I'll tell you one thing, the atmosphere isnt full of negativity and hate like this place is, nor will it ever be. And thats due mostly to the STAFF which monitors and moderates the board. That which is SEVERLY lacking here at Striped-Bass.com. So have at it, and make fun all you want. Act silly and infantile, but they'll still be people hatin' on this place too cuz of the rogue members here and the lack of Moderation. This is supposed to be a COMMUNITY. An online Striped Bass COMMUNITY. But by looking at how some of you act, I see why things are so seperated and torn apart. Like me, or hate me, you should GROW UP, and have a little respect for others. None of you will ever admit your wrong. I expect responses to be filled with yet more name calling and childish behavior at me.

Thanks for involving me in another one of your soap operas.

JohnR 08-19-2004 01:27 PM

Actually - you be specific as we beat this dead horese I said you have had "with some attitude too while you've been here". Not exactly "a chip" on your shoulder. The one thread I recall being Hijacked was your Focus thread when some people called you on it. At that point you went right and did what you accuse others of doing.

One simple start to this would have been to ask permission to post the thread. As stated in the Registration agreement (oh yeh - ignored the LAST time he came around) "advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations or any other method to promote yourself without first clearing it with Striped-Bass.com is inappropriate on this message board" - all he had to do is ASK. I don't allow people to :spam: on this board. It's not fair to me as a site owner, it's not fair to the guys that sponsor the site, and it's not always fair to the memmbers. There are plenty of instances where people e-mail or PM and ask and RECIEVE permission to post stuff - much like what Jim started posting here. This on it's own would have gone far smoother had he done that. This site does not censor links to other places, we do not prevent people from saying like such and such shop or plug that are not our sponsors. We DO draw the line when someone self promotes their fishing related business or their freinds when it is self-promoting or when someone starts something with the intention to promote something else. It's a tough line to walk between keeping a board open and honest and allowing people with the agenda of plugging their own products for their own personal gain (Mike Bartlett / B-Fast Charters, Penetrator Lures, CrabHawk, just to name a few). THAT is a disservice to our members, sponsors, and to me. I could make more money and less agravation just by saying "would you like fries with that". IF Jim gets it together and builds a good site, has a level of ethic, has knowledable moderators and members, AND a bit of luck, he too will find how tough it gets. He ain't there yet and he has no clue as to what its like to run - with lots of help - a mid sized site like this.

Actually, I called it SPAM right from my first post. I kept the thread going - against my better judgement - as I wanted to hear wht he had to say about Al...

He started this thread to enlighten the world on poor Al but then he acted like a jerk. Well, fortunately I don't think Al will suffer anything bad from this - I'd still like to say hello to the guy and wet a line (and I'll keep my stinkin' mouth shut too). When things were getting discussed and he didn't like the discussion, he reacted. If you don't want to discuss something - for better or worse - KEEP IT OFF AN INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION BOARD. If he wants to dictate a story make it a freikin WAV file.
As for where moderators are working or not working, it's always a work in progress. Elements on the board shift, personalities shift, differences in religion, ideology, passions can flow together or stack each other up. Yes, things are a little crazier than normal or as we'd like but they will always ebb and flow that way. As for the negativity and swearing and needing moderation? Do we need to look at what you've posted and do a granular inspection of every argument you've been in? I don't think so. We try to offer some flexibility here and not be board drill sargeants. It's not anywhere as easy as you think. Good luck. And while you are promoting another website without permission, please remove your links to stripers24 from your profile - and what's that other board??

Hey Al McReynolds - sorry this thread turned to flushable material - wasn't your fault at all....

OK - now that I've wasted time from my REAL job...

Thanks,

John

RIROCKHOUND 08-19-2004 02:55 PM

JB, if you hate it here, go to 247 and leave us alone in our "negativity"
I for one have met quite a few great people on this board, including JohnR, so I think you need to rethink that you're saying...

Jonny Bolt 08-19-2004 03:03 PM

Oh yeah, I also like how you and your buddies insinuate that Jim doesnt have it together, and his site is no good, and you also perpetuate the idea that his Moderators are somehow less knowledgeable than you and your cohorts. I find it conveniently ironic that some of you need to belittle others down, in order to boost your self up. Thats the number 1 sign of LOW SELF ESTEEM. I think between everyone currently on our Staff, there is a very well balanced amount of knowledge and RESPECT for each other, the members, and the Striper community as a whole. We're not too busy scaring away newbies with our attitudes and mud-slinging contests. We like to meet new people, and help them. I personally am willing to bet a Van Zebco reel that although I work sometimes over 40 hours a week, I probably fish more hours in the week than the pooptalkers here work.

I think thats what some of you need to do. Go fishing.

RIROCKHOUND 08-19-2004 03:07 PM

""I probably fish more hours in the week than the pooptalkers here work. I think thats what some of you need to do. Go fishing.""

Dont generallize, Many of us here fish most nights of the week, and I still work 50-70hrs a week.... Also, hours fished doesnt equate to being a good fisherman; the more you rant the more you look like an ass; you've wasted enough of my time, so I'm done reading this thread now, and am turned off of even looking at 247 now; as there are other websites I look at, but the guys over there can thank you and your immature BS for turning alot of good fisherman off of that site...

I could not find any fishing proverbs.

Russian Proverb

The wise man has long ears, big eyes and a short tongue.

Whatever is in the heart will come up to the tongue.

More have repented of speech than silence.

The tongue wounds more than a lance.

Silence is the best reply to the ignorant.

Chinese Proverb

Good words are like a string of pearls.

A vacant mind is open to all suggestions as a hollow building echoes all sounds.

A great talker is a great liar.

He who would close another man's mouth should first tie up his

Pope

Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.

Bible

A fool's voice is known by a multitude of words.

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise.

Seeth thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of
a fool than of him.

Who knows most says least.

Great boaster, little doer.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is
a breach in the spirit.

A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up
anger.

The fool shineth no longer than he holdeth his tongue.

The tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil --- full of
deadly poison.

No man ever repented of having held his tongue.

The tongue is not steel --- yet it cuts.

How oftentimes is silence the wiseth of replies.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from
troubles.

Good silence is near holiness.

A slip of the foot may be soon recovered, but that of the tongue
perhaps never.

There is that speaketh rashly like the piercing of a sword; but
tongue of the wise is health.

Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.

He that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

A silent man's words are not brought into court.

He knows much who knows how to hold his tongue.

A fair face will get its praise, though the owner keep silent.

The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver.

In the company of strangers silence is safe.

The froward tongue shall be cut out.

We ought either to be silent or to speak things that are better than silence.

The worst wheel of a cart creaks most.

Silence is less injurious than a bad reply.

There is a knack of showing we understand the matter, when we hold our peace.

Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.

One man may teach another to speak; but none can teach another to hold his peace.

Neither speak well nor ill of yourself. If well, men will not believe you; if ill, they will believe a great deal more than you say.

When insolence provoketh, when slander false accuseth, when ignorance and prejudice are full of idle talk, let silence be the answer on thy lip and in thy life.

A man of silence is a man of sense.

If you don't say it, you'll not have to unsay it.

He talks much who has least to say.

A tame tongue is a rare bird.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be like unto him.

Nils

Johnny Bolt - I'm done. If I go any further with this, someone's feelings might get hurt. If you want to stay - fine, but quit your bitchin', if you want to go - fine - do what you want. Someday if you want to have a beer or wet a line, that's fine too. I have too much important stuff to do in my life than to argue this thread any longer :wavey:


Bryan - saw you yesterday in the urabus on Memorial - you were gone before I could say hello....

We need to fish soon - lots of rats with fins to the SW of RHS - want the striped kind

CAL 08-19-2004 05:36 PM

Jonny, I didn't give a rats ass if you read it. I actually figured 247 would and tell you. So what? I was just expressing my opinion to 247 that having you as a moderator is laughable. Again, my opinion.

Don't know what you're talking about as to "always talking about someone". You're the only one I've ever had a problem with on any site.

And yes.....I've got no problem saying anything to your face or anyone elses.

Lighten up Francis

Jenn 08-19-2004 05:40 PM

wanna know what really funny about all this???


so many people getting worked up over this al guy! When you really think about it this so called "aftermath" he experienced after this fish was caught was only brought on by himself! Bottom line.....sadly he must have needed this fish to boost his self esteem so he exploited it for what it was worth. and before you jump down my throat for that comment think about this for a minute. we all know Most stories of large fish are questioned and doubted anyway becuase of envy or disbelief, so to try and brag is like slapping yourself in the face!!!!

If I ever catch a large striper few people will know about it....the taxidermist and those people closest to me that would see it hanging on my living room wall!
