I'm not against people calling out the "Internet Heroes" either, but it is a different thing to start stuff up for grins and giggles or just to keep the skewer in a subject or someone when should have died a long time ago.
As for SD's frequent rant against those that moderate and manage here, we can never seem to do it to his liking. Well, it gets kinda old. Recently, he has posted more
constructive topics here and adds a little to the site, but early on, a lot of his comments were
destructive and destructive to any chance of something that comes close to be smooth running here. And not to single him out but if there were less people stirring the pot for grins and giggles, there would be less need for uber moderation and maybe some better discussion could take place. But with him, we can't edit some stuff fast enough, and other times we edit what we shouldn't be editing. We can't seem to win. I think the guys that moderate here,
volunteer to moderate here, do a hell of a job. Unlike at some other places, moderating is not a pat on the back "I'm King and want to be an Internet Hero" task. The guys that moderate here are first class, genuine people: Slip, Mike P, Saltheart, Specialist, and Fishpart - they have charachter, and I get tired of seeing them get slammed for doing a pretty damn good job.
I also don't have any illusions about wanting or thinking I am "King", I'm not a glory hound personality
. What I want is a good site where people passionate about fishing can openly discuss stuff without worry that the peanut gallery are going to ram down one's throat at the first chance. What I want is for people, this
community of people, to be able to do the right thing, be better anglers, more respectful of others and the fish, and do it some some kind of friendly respectful way. We put ourselves all thru too much unnecessary crap, especially in the winter time, that detracts from any kind of normalcy and god forbid, maybe some fun and discussing something.
Sorry for the rant
, I'd just rather see are more freindly climate on the site this winter. Maybe we'll have a penalty box with a one day minor and one week major no posting
