I suggest the following new rule in order to improve the atmosphere in the forum:

If one should post a picture of a caught fish, there should only be praise and commendation bestowed upon that post. No exceptions.

Those who break this rule would go to a temporary 'jealousy hole' for having a dissenting opinion of the original post. Other members would be able to flame the dissenter w/o the possibility of any responses from the guilty party in this 'q bin'. When the guilty is released and allowed to post again, he would be labeled 'tree hugging douche' or something similar under his user name for a probationary period of time.

Keep in mind that if you don't like my idea, you are in fact most likely a douche yourself - or at least a facsimile thereof.

Brilliant. 2-3% of the population are homosexual and not one of them chose to be that way. 2-3% of our children will be homosexual, and none of them or us will chose for them to be that way. I'm sure there are men in this forum who are deeply hurt by this sort of discrimination and lack of moderator input to correct it. Life for these people and their families is already plenty painful enough. Allowing posts like the above to stand unchallenged does indeed suggest this site can suck. Pathetic!

i think that the key word to luds' opening post is "right now"

this site is a living, breathing, entity that evolves as members leave, members change, members stay, and new blood gets pumped into it to keep it growing. and we seem to have ALL of that. sooooo, it is going to have its seasons of S#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&ESS tendered with its times of GREATNESS. and "now" is as fleeting as it gets,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,kinda like our NE weather. if ya don't like it, just wait a minute or so and it will change.

but what we ALSO enjoy is, imho, one of the most informative, hilarious, good natured, thick-skinned, sharing, caring, high hooking, collection of surfcasters known to the Striper Coast. we are quite unique in that respect~~~ some LOVE it, some don't, and there are those some ones that are inbetween. but, in the end it is a place that i choose to call "home". simply meaning that i feel welcomed, there is a sense of belonging, and the fraternal aspect of this obsession we share is real and as tangible as i choose to make it.

and that is what i've learned most in my time here, in that, as is true in Life you WILL get back what you put into SB.com. however in my case, i have gotten tons more. there are times when i feel like a sponge, soaking up more than i will ever be able to repay. other times i do not know how/why ya'll continue to tolerate my brand of "crazy". most times i know that when i do invest the time, either cyberally or in reality, i am crushing my surfcaster learning curve, meeting some true gentlemen of kindred spirit, and genuinely having a BLAST along the weigh.

THANKS TO YOU ALL for making SB.com what it is "right now", what it is becoming, and what it will be as we move forward. Bossman, you know how much i appreciate ALL that you do to keep the lights turned on and the bells and whistles in tune. and here's a shout-out to the mods for keeping it reel from their thankless positions.

"The first condition of happiness is that the connection
between man and nature shall not be broken."~~ Leo Tolstoy

Tight Lines, and
Happy Hunting to ALL!

Maybe if people would take more time to think about what they post, the site would suck a lot less.

I guess I had to "censor" some stuff in the thread, I sure have better things to do, like read the 5 pages of new posts since i been online last.
I need a vacation from my vacation

Obviously I was using the Q word in reference to the other 4 times it was previously used in this thread (some have since been edited) and in the other locked thread this spawned from. You and the others that are actually paying attention know that, however. Even though a few of them still remain in quotes.

You missed a couple of the bad Q words - I can help you with one but at least one or two others remain.
