Let's knock off the name calling

[Mike P]

Maybe I'm just cranky because I'm stuck in on a Saturday night, but I'm not at all pleased at what I saw in the "burned Rhody" thread that's no longer here. I'm not John, and it's his site, and I've tended to let you guys have your fun and try to work out your differences, but there is never any excuse for calling other people here jackasses, or questioning their intelligence.

There are other places on the web where you can duke it out over fishing. We try to keep this place friendly, and a place where flaming isn't tolerated.

I'm going to be a lot quicker, in the future, to pull the plug on a thread if it gets out of hand. Or at least start editing pissing matches. Even if it's only one person urinating. No name calling, no petty insults. You can express strongly held opinions all you want, but please do so respectfully. I can't expect everyone to like everyone else, but if you have a strong dislike for another poster, engage that person respectfully, or ignore him totally.
