Slinger,
I feel you. I rarely post pics here. I try to address questions people ask in areas I am competent. I like congratulating people on nice catches. And of course I like to make a funny remark about some silly post now and again.
One of the things that I find strange is when, like in this thread, the OP questions why there is such pushback on a pic or whatever. One of the common answers is, "It's an internet forum. What did you expect?"
Frankly, this is one of the better forums on the internet and I expect that we rise above and set a different tone. I expect that we lead on the high road instead of being ridiculous. Much of this thread, sadly, went to the ridiculous. We're better than this. Let's be better!
