Piss piss piss, and more piss

OK Squiddler..
first off lay off the caffine at this time of night....
Second, I have zero (0) affiliation with Pete and the SWE, we're in the same fishing club, thats about it.
I dont think he should or have to seperate himself out as an 'end user'
In my OPINION, having people in the industry, like Pete, MikeCC etc.. is a huge asset of this site. We get the skinny new gear, and good reviews.. I fish 100+ nights a season, and in no way do I or can I see/review gear than people in shops who get people in daily to get repairs and buy gear... the fact that Mike or Pete or others has input as to what holds up/works and what doesnt is huge.
I was out of town this weekend, didnt make it to the fair, but if I remember from last year, it was free to get into, free for seminars, the raffle was optional, and you didnt have to buy jack diddily %$%$%$%$ if you didnt want to. There were numerous high profile fisherman there and you could have picked their brains for free. I think you need to chill out a bit dude...

Like I said, ITS MY OPINION.

I again apologize to Pete if I offended, but I was and am pissed off.

Why is it okay for guys to trash Walmart but not me to trash somone or something???????

I took offense to the trashing of America, or its decline, or whatever the point of the correlation to the Roman Empire was.

This will be my last post on this matter, your all welcome in advance.

Again, open apology to SWE and Pete.


IMHO your sticking your noses in to this pissin contest. And I still think your a bunch o whiners.

To be honest - I'm sick of the sponsors always selling things, and I am a sponsor!
Turn sponsorship over to the masked avengers. Tell them to anonymously put some donation money into a brown paper bag and leave it next to the dumpster behind Hooters on Airport Road, John R will pick it up on his way out.

By the way...if you missed out on the free Habs stickers they are for sale online now click here.
See! That's what I'm talking about! There I go again!
I hate that.

Pete runs a good shop. As far as no deals go...He informed me in advance that he was having a discount on some good fly lines i was interested in. Now thats good service and how you keep customers around. Not sure what that guy was talking about regarding no good deals at the SWE.

Dude chill the hell out! I just signed on and read your first post and thats it. I was defending Pete when you slammed his store. Dont make stupid comments if you dont want to take flak for it! Believe me i take alot of %$%$%$%$ on here so i know what im talking about! You make comments about a popular local shop so expect to take some crap.

I agree with your take on America being the best. No question about that! But i wanted to express my opinioin about what you said. And one reason America is so great is that i am aloud to express my displeasure with your comments. Now i read the rest of this thread and what you wrote and things seem cleared up. Good!

But im done, no use getting worked up about something that doesnt involve me.
