Well Now... I see that the owners of this site finally had enough of the trantrums and drivel being ignorantly posted on this site from the keyboards of a few immature bad actors. Also recognize the addition of a couple new moderators. Well Done Gentz!
This used to be a very</u> good place to seek advice, perhaps give a little, and generally chat about all things fishing. Lately, the garbage was not only nauseating, but served well to get some folks' dander up and to drive a fair number of those with good intentions away. I know that for myself, I ended up avoiding even checking in here even briefly, simply because I didn't like the way that such personal slurs and attacks were being dealt with (not that is). No slur on Bill, he is a busy fellow, and like many, expected the users here to display at least some intellect, decency and sense of respect for their fellow anglers. Unfortunately in this day and age, the ill-mannered displays of the few can take away much from a decent site, something that had unfortunately become all to frequent here.
So Gentlemen, KUDOS for these efforts. Initially, it will likely be a bit of an uphill struggle, for these small minds can be devious and tenacious in their twisted little ways. But hold the course, and I'm certain you can and will bring this site back the respect it once commanded! I look forward to once again checking in from time to time, and sharing respectfully with others as we once did. And indeed wish you the VERY Best of Luck with that pursuit!!
Cheers,
Nog
