I thought the fake name was the way to go...never crossed my mind to use my real name on the interblab...Slingah is because all I used to do was sling eels...didnt see anyone else with the name so I used it.
Its weird when someone calls me Slingah...dont really like it. My real name is Matt......but JohnR you can call me Don:tooth: |
:faga:

I think you'd be surprised at how many of the old school living legends lurk the forums. Some say that they learn a thing or two new. Some say that they can pick out the young-uns no prob. All those who sit and listen do so in anonyminity because they don't want to get "lectured" by someone who A: they don't know and B: someone who's full of it. I'm grateful to those who have joined us and who have given their knowledge. Just remember that when someone says something and you don't agree, there's a couple of reasons that you don't agree. You may be thinking in absolutes, and there are NONE in the surf. And you may NOT have experienced the total truth of that subject. What ever it is,it is in most bad form to shout LIAR at another man. It insults him to the core and disgusts those listening in. And that is where I see most Flame Wars coming from. Just some things to think about..

I started at the WMI site in its later days. Most people there used their name and last initial so I did the same. (Plus the fact that I apparently have no imagination.) ;) :hidin:
[QUOTE=Crow I have seen on another site where almost everynew member seems to be new to the surf game. They will ask for help and its usually supplied by a guy whom has been fishing the beach for 4 years and his biggest fish is a 'fat' 33"er. [/QUOTE] A short while ago I saw a post on another site where a guy said he caught his first bass ever after 2 or 3 years or so of trying. A few weeks later I saw him posting fishing advice. :rollem: :spin: |

Credibility and fishing? For every piece of advice given, there are thousands of unknowns and exceptions, there are variables and countless opinions.very rarely are all the facts known and the personality of the question truly understood.It is the users descretion that will accomplish sucsess and gain knowledge.It is time on the water or in the surf that will gain expierience and skill.Real names and "hiding"behind user names? This is ludicrous.Would you know who I was if my call sign was BobC anymore than now, I doubt it.I feel that information obtained through forums is soley at the descretion of the person taking it. I also feel that people have the right to debate and voice their opinion on any topic, and people have the right to disagree with that opinion. To become angered and threating is both unintelligable and immature.Unless you post with your picture and full name and adress are not you also maintaining a degree of anonimity? I've only been striper fishing for 8 years, I've learned a great deal from both the good info and bad info on this site and publications, I thank both greatly.I try only to give good info, but also realize the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Certainly everyone knows who I am, I use the name "#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&" because its a nickname given to me by Tim Coleman from the Fisherman. The name means alot to me because of the fact that Tim planted it on me. Acually most of my friends call me by that name all the time. So, It was long before the Internet that I had that name. But for the Record ...Bill Nolan is what I was born with. It is interesting to see where everyone gets there "name" All the fisherman I know have a nickname.

I guess I might be an internet "Newbie" compared to some. I first logged on via AOL in June 1996 with the screen name "Keeper1" which I still have. I had only been (serious) striper fishing for about 3 years at that point and had never actually caught a keeper (36" in MA at that time). In any case, through many different ISPs, chatrooms, message boards, my username and email name had always been some variation of "keeper". I've been to message board and chatroom "meets" all over the US and one in Canada, and "keeper" was always a catchy, easy-to-remember name for people to call me by.
When I recently found this board, I thought I would be clever and change it up by using this Dumb-Ass scientific name I'm saddled with now. Every time I log on, I lament the fact that I chose it. If I could change it, I would. I never give suf fishing advice because I'm a novice. I may have chimed in on a few boating topics, as I have a little bit of experience in that area. I'm always willing to debate politics, religion, or anything else that stirs people's passion, but I try to never say anything in print that I wouldn't say to someone's face. Having a "real name requirement" would be totally useless. Would 2 forms of picture ID be required to register? Get a clue. I agree with whomever it was that said posting one's full, real name is not prudent. With all the phishing (no pun intended) and ID theft scams going on these days, it's probably wise to keep personal info out of public view. Steve G. MA |

Here is some more useless advice: Don't take wooden nickles |

Interesting post. It is so easy to sit behind the tire hub an make blind accusations.If ur gonna thro daggers.Why don't u belly up gro some balls of ur own an point out the internet legends that u speak of so they can respond.. People come here with questions.I think for the most part they get some good advice.Comments like urs will just have folks sitting on there hands wondering if it was they who perhaps made the awfull crime of trying to be nice. Be it right or wrong usually there are many answers to choose from.I think in the end the reader gets what they came for.Lots of the folks here know who I am I have gone many miles out of my way so we can put a face to the name.As have alot of others.There is credibility here if u look. Negativity is more lame, an pretty much undermines what the site is all about.One big community with a common interest.Sharing what they know.An having fun.. |

I use the name Kippy as that was my grandfather's nickname and he enjoyed fishing very much. He is no longer here but I know he would be proud that I have the same passion for the sport. I even use his old penn senator 113H to this day.

Perhaps i did take it personally as I did fool around with NIB in the third person(I love that sh!t)Perhaps I am a legend in My own mind.A friend of mine once told me I wanna live in ur world.As far as i'm concerned its the best place to be.Most times I'm just having fun..:tm:
My brand of humor might not appeal to everybody.I notice what goes on here.I obviously don't give a rats ass what anybody else thinks.I get the daggers all the time.It don't bother me at all.I can respect if someone has a problem with me if they come out an say it.Beating around the bush is lame.An perhaps thats why I took it so seriously.I honestly believe I help people out.So tell me what is so bad.Sometimes different opinions are voiced I think thats a good thing.Would u have more fun if i stopped posting. I can do that also.Poof.I am now the internet wannabe formaly known as The NIB.I don't really need this crap.U can have the Strike Kings of he world give ya advice.Good Luck. |
Maybe NIB really is Manzi:cputin:

NIBs is cool :hihi:
