Seems like this is now a verboten topic on this forum … odd as this is a fishing forum, is it not? Valid thread with no inflammatory posts other than a derail by one member's ongoing rant about members with multiple accounts. Seems like a very odd reason to remove a thread?
Personally I quite appreciate those who provide updates, and in particular the data, on fishery management issues that affect us all (because as we all know DFO is not good at sharing it openly!!). I don't expect everyone to share my opinion on fish mgmt matters and I doubt if anyone else is naive enough to think there will be universal consensus. If these forums aren't for discussing such things, what are they for really? So long as people manage their emotions and put fish mgmt into proper perspective - i.e. it isn't important enough to ever justify personal attacks or insults, I would hope threads and posts that discuss and debate key fish mgmt issues wouldn't be discouraged.
As for the mysteriously disappearing halibut thread would have been nice to see the derail rant and personal attacks, that were unrelated to the topic, removed, the offending member put on a time out if deemed necessary and the thread allowed to carry on.
Anyway, I continue to enjoy this forum, by far the best BC fishing forum, and appreciate the efforts of those running it.
Cheers!
