strange that many of the responders in this thread never, ever post in this forum?
I have been an avid participant in the forum before there was a forum, dark days when I was one of the few carrying the torch in an anti-Bush wave of darkness. I can tell you that via this forum I befriended RIRockhound - lib weenie, Nebe - super lib weenie, fishbones, and others. Although I never met DadFisherman, I bet I would get along pretty well with him even though he is a semi-lib weenie. I still dont like likwid and dont think I would if I met him and spence annoys the living hell out of me but he is a good guy in person. Jim in CT gets my respect but scares me some times.
Look, who really cares if the discussion gets out of hand? There is a sticky on the forum warning you if you enter. if you dont like it, go away. I appreciate John allowing us this space to bicker, bitch and moan. I have learned things and believe I am better for it.

Come on, I'm not the least bit scary...especially now that I'm un-armed...

I am one of those guilty of personal rhetoric of course, although I have toned it down. I agree with RIJIMMY, you learn a lot by engaging smart people who disagree with you. I also agree with him that while I disagree with Spence on just about everything, I bet he'd be the first to help out just about anyone here, with one possible exception being yours truly, although he kindly posted a couple of cute pics of my son for me...

I think this board is a perfect microcosm of what we are facing in general. I know I'm a good guy, and I'm certain Spence is too. But we don't get along here, and likely never will.

In my opinion, I've been on teh receiving end of garbage, and I have dished out my share. I think the sticky at the entrance to this forum is sufficient, but you'll see a more respectful Jim in CT between now and November.

I do read the forum but don't post much. Politics is like fishing to me, I don't know much about either one.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that i got left off your list ...I agree w/ Jimmy on all of that- he pretty much nailed it, it's fun...most here can handle it...some claim they're leaving forever but then come crawling back, I appreciate that people have passion.....I'm not sure that Eben is a super lib weenie....but he is cute and cuddly

For the most part, it’s not a good thing when you are on a list.......
