I don't give a crap about this thread but while you might still say what you were going to say, you need to say it a little differently!

Ya know what I am gettin real fed up with the childish bs around me and my stuff.
Some people need to grow up I have news if my wife is spamming I guess anyone who puts up plug pics is spamming also but I don't see them get the bs!!!!


My wife was just responding to a post if she said something about my web site which by the way


WHAT IS THE ADDRESS???????


I would like to know? I am appologising for her and her responce she has not appreciated the way I have gotten slammed in the past so know I am saying good bye I am too old and too mature to play these games anymore!!!!!!



AND TO LAPINSKI i WILL NOT SELL TO THE CONETICUT STORE FROM HERE OUT SINCE I DO NOTHING BUT SPAM.



I made this statement before I do not need this kind of advertising, What I have is a quality product that catches fish quite well.

In closing LAPINSKI """"" GROW UP """"""

I guess anyone who puts up plug pics is spamming also but I don't see them get the bs!!!!

I hope this was not directed at me, I have paiud John to advertise here in the past and am still wiating for John to get back to me aout it. I paid John for web space for my web site, and also do business with 3 tackle shops that support this site.

If you look at my profile you will see 7 referals to this place and have been here since august of '01. I was hree when this place was nothing, brought alot of people here besides the 7 referals and caused alot of traffic with posts and pictures and doing business with other contributors of the site.

So if you think I'm "spamming" - think again. This thread was about getting the old thread started back up again with the pictures. There was stuff in there that I wanted to review and alos add to the post - not to start showboating.

[steve f]

no coments were made to you or any sponsors of this site they were made to the people who like to start trouble thats all!!!!


They know who they are and the history with me. I also know there are alot of quality people here its ashame that some have nothing better to do with there time than to start trouble!


"Tattoo I am not in any way refering to you or any other sponsors"



This is why I am leaving this site too much childish behavior from certain people and like something that was said to me as a young child if you don't like it walk away.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Steve and his lovely wife,and I can honestly tell you they are the nicest people. Very Sincere hardworking, with 3 great kids .
It really is amazing how we can misunderstand each other on these forums and get a totally wrong impression of people .
I have the same problem with people at work when I send out emails. You have to be so careful what you say, or it sends the wrong impression. This works both ways.
Lets give steve a break here. He builds absolutely beautiful plugs, he's a hardcore striper addict and has a lot of great info to share. If you ever spent a couple a hours on the fon with him (and believe me i have) you would realize what a knowledgeable guy he is, and hes so eager to share it .
And I honestly dont think hes trying to "spam" any more than the rest of us here & if he is then JohnR would address it. I dont think its up to us to do that. Were talking fishing here for gods sake. Lets lighten up and learn from each other.

Peace
just my .02

[Slipknot]

It's a shame a simple thread asking a legitimate question turns into a fight between 2 members here. If you have a problem, take it up in PM's or email not on the forum here. Thanks for your cooperation.

JohnR, I know you are very busy and I'm sure you will get a chance sooner or later to move the pictures back on the site, Thanks

"not to start showboating"

to tatto:
I am sorry that i misunderstood, i thought you where starting a new thread on peoples plugs, and like i stated in a post that i deleted, i was having a blonde moment and realized you where talking about the other thread....:
end comment to tattoo:

I was not "showboating" or "spamming" or whatever you wanna call it...I was simply posting pics if my husbands plugs, and was hoping to see other peoples plugs also....

as my husband stated, he apologizes for me, well I don't...This childish stuff is sickening, and I know that lapinski only started this to get on my nerves...which he did a very good job of, like that annoying kid in school that does not know how to shut his trap...


none of this was meant to be started and nothing was towards you or any sponsers of this site...

As you Tattoo, I was going to become a sponsor for this site had talked to John, but unfortunatly because I was not related to fishing he could not accept me...Which was totally understandable...

this will be my last post here...sorry tattoo that i misunderstood this thread...

I am proud of what my husband does, because it is something he loves to do and he is good at it...i am sorry that i am proud of him and what he does, and i wanted to show it....

crucify me....



Good Day...you guys make nice plugs, but as I can see that I or my husband are not aloud to show any plugs with out being tortured and taunted by people who have nothing better to do with their time...

Again Tattoo I am sorry about misunderstanding this threads original intentions....I was having a "blonde moment" which I stated, and I jumped into it feet first with out looking to see how deep the water was....

[BigFish]

they also make awesome plugs and are great to chat with. I hope you guys hang around and ignore the few who need to be ignored! Slipknot is right, it is too bad. I am going to have some done soon Steve and Mrs. SF....I will have em' up soon and if anyone thinks I am spamming........whatever!

Keep in touch with PM Mr and Mrs SF.

[BassAssasin]

I don't see how that was interpreted as spam

I have met Steve and his wife and they are nice people. Of all the plugs I own, and that is quite a few, I find myself admiring the 2 Steve F's that were given to me most often. Some of the finest looking and swimming plugs I've seen anywhere. High quality. I also know that at this point Steve doesn't need any more places to retail the plugs he makes, I am aware of places that would gladly sell his plugs. Doesn't make sense that he would attempt to spam this site to generate a few plug sales

You have to see one of these up close to appreciate them.

[Tattoo]

Mr & Mrs - No hard feelings - Its hard to interpret what peole mean through the keyboard.

Now did you say you wanted to send me some plugs?

[Mr. Sandman]

I missed the post but perhaps we should have a self-promoting thread.
Mr/Mrs Frances...when your site is up...PM me, I like your stuff.

[KLMulder]

self-promoting thread.

I like that Idea, come but a Toyota. If you do I will give JohnR .0000000004% of my comish LOL:laughs

Mr. and Mrs. F please stay around I have enjoyed your plug picks

[Bernzy]

Ditto what Tinman and BassAsassin said!!!!!

IMHO not spam.

Bernzy

[Striperknight]

Steve

Keep on posting those pics. Your work is very fine. I saw the plug you gave Tinman....Niccccce!


SK

[MrsSFrances]

you know i like it here...its a place i can come to laugh and drool over others work and meet nice people...as some people know Steve is the only one that can work outside the ouse...I have to stay home due to our son having special needs...I go to college, but thats only 3 days aweek and coming here to get to talk to people...and for a moment have a break...you see my son has PVL..Periventricular Luekomalisia it is a developmental disorder...In english, my son had a stroke while I was pregnant with him...Steve and I do not get out that often...and coming here to talk is nice...my husband makes plugs as a passion...we have been together for 5 years and for 5 years he has always wanted to do this, even before we met...

this is my getaway from..the therapists that come in everyday to give my son therapy....In that time I am home I am constantly working with him and have given up everything that I like to do...Since steve has been making plugs..we hardly fish anymore...and its like a first date when we get to go out fishing..I could care less about going dancing or going to a bar or out to dinner I would rather be fishing with my husband and helping him with his plugs...

coming here and seeing the goofy things you guys put up in the scuppers and teasing eachother, kind of gives me a warm fuzzy...

It a freedom..sad to say..I will never be able to work until my son gets into a program out of the home...I have committed myself to my family...

coming here is like going out on the town...i know its sad...but its nice...

thank you for all the kind comments...

Mr. Bernzy and the rest of the guys either I or my husband are friends with know how our household is...and its nuts...making plugs is my husbands getaway...he enjoys what he does and I enjoy seeing him do it...and i am proud of what he does..just like he is proud of my artwork that i do...i like to show his work..and i like to see others work...its stupid that people have to be this way...

wording things through a keyboard is tricky just like tinman & tattoo said..you have to make sure everything is spelled out the right way or it gets mistaken....

i know i said in my last post that it was my last post...just remember some people dont have it easy and everyone has issues...and for some coming here is a release...from their everyday life and to let off a lil steam and show some nice stuff...

all you guys who make plugs are artists...and damn good ones at that....keep up the great work!!!

Mrs F

[Jigman]

I agree with BA and Tinman. Now, can you post those plugs again, I did not have the chance to drool over them

Jigman

[bud8fan]

I too have met Steve and the misses in person! And agree with the others that they are good people!

I was in PA attending the Rodcrafters seminar and Steve made it a point to direct me to his house and show me part of his Man cave. He also took me to one of the local tackleshops that had a ton of top knotch #^&#^&#^&#^& including a bunch of older Gibbs!

So Mr and Mrs Frances please dont take what was said personally!
I honestly dont think that it was meant with malicious intent!

Here are a few of Steve's that myself and Fishaholic own!!

[bassmaster]

Im a sponser and ya didnt P Me off.
I like the plugs they look nice
hang out

[fishaholic18]

You make top notch stuff Steve. Don't go! Ignore the nonsence!

[Clammer]

WOW =@#$%^&^ beautiful BLOOOOOOofish plugs //let me put them to the test //////

to each their own

[maddog2020]

I saw the pics earlier - man they were sweet! Great work on all parties involved !

I've been home sick since Monday and stuck indoors. Its places like this that allowed me to keep my sanity.

I've hung out in forums similar to this with my other hobbies in the past and I've seen it all..... LOL. That is one of the reasons I left those forums. Tempers flare, people post things that get misinterpeted and then it gets ugly.

We stand more to LOSE by having members leave.

Shake hands and play fair. No more sucker punches.

[tlapinski]

i wasn't trying take any shots at anyone or start any trouble. sorry if people can't live by the rules. it has happened before and it will happen again. for now, i'll go back to keeping quiet and catching fish.

[bloocrab]

people can't live by the rules

Maybe we need a quick definition of spamming.

Spam = unsolicited, usually commercial E-mail sent to a large number of addresses (per Webster's Dic)

Is that what happened here?

I'm an A-hoel. I missed it, but if showing pictures of your plugs is spamming.......then ...there are ALOT of spammers on here. I think most of the builders sell their plugs, (I'm sure there are a few who don't)...but if you sell plugs, and post pictures of your plugs on here..whether you sell in volume or single plugs, is it still considered spamming? I'm an A-whole. Your a spammer. Is it against the rules to be an A-whole? What about being an A-whole spammer, is that double the punishment? THIS IS THE INTERNET!! No matter how much you want to make this real, it's only as real as you let it get. Mrs. F, why don't you send me the pictures of your husband's plugs and I'll post them...I mean chit, I'm not trying to sell his plugs...I'm only showing plugs that I think are sweet...and so what if someone ends up PMing your husband for a few...is it spamming? He didn't post the picture, I did. So who would be at fault then? If JohnR doesn't read PMs like he claims he can't...so much business can happen behind the scenes. Is it stoppable? I'm an A-whole and this is the internet. Am I aggravating? Guess what, you can't stop me...I'm not breaking the rules Or am I?

Lately, S-B.com = a whole lotta drama

dood why do you feel the need to be the computer police

i think the site owner can do that when he feels it nessasary

i think your spam post was not worth paying any attention to
no harm / no help... i was not offended or impressed
however someone was offended

mrs frances, you have given this far more emotion than it has earned... dont pay any attention to someones opinion that
has no right to be spent a fart on

i saw the photos and i would like to have one of each.....
just as i would like to have from most of the plug builders.

any how dont stop posting most people like it and if someone
post a useless reply dont be offended we can tell

i dont think ted meant any harm
