I have decided to revoke site privileges for Patrick at Striped-Bass.com . This weekend's thread was one of many that have added up to this decision. It's not the direction that I think this site should go in and some (not all) of his posts were offensive or otherwise impeded moving in that direction. Sometimes he was a real contributor and sometimes he thought he was when he was not. But for now, it's time to part ways.

I sent him an e-mail with my explanation. I think that (with a few exceptions) people treated him more than fairly here and gave him many chances. Probably too many chances. I also told him that in the future, at least a year from now, I may reconsider my decision.

So please don't jump all over him now that he's gone as he will not have an opportunity to defend himself online. Obviously, we can't forget him - just not possible. I'm not saying to never mention his name because I'm not looking to rewrite history here...

Thanks,

John
