Nothing is sacred

LOL.

I am friends with this girl that says old men are adorable when they're ornery. She'd get a kick outta you.

Show me where I drove anyone from the board. I told him what I thought he sounded like, not what he was. I don't know the guy enough to tell him what he is. He got butthurt because hardly anyone supported his bigotry, and took his ball home.

I'd tell anyone in my family, closest friends, or coworkers that they sound like an *** when I think they do. I have before. I'll tell a perfect stranger too. It's not intended to be a huge insult. Maybe slightly worse than "your mother wears army boots". :-D Despite Mo's tongue-in-cheek comment and my bad joke about stinking, I honestly meant "foolish or stubborn". I include stereotypers under that definition.

Based on all of that, I have nothing to apologize for, but I'll tell ya what... if the OP retracts his statement, I'll tell him that he no longer sounds like an ***.

A little but, oh no not this again! This argument has been on here so many times over the years and it never solves anything, I only read a couple of the first couple of post, and left it go. I just read the last page and I have to agree with rrt, jays first post should have been deleted and maybe it would have went away!

Several moderators, including me, have viewed the thread and while we would prefer people not express themselves the way Jay did, no one thought it was clearly beyond the bounds. Close enough to watch, though.

There is a fine line between directing the speech here and censoring it.

Any time anyone think the moderators are not executing their duties appropriately, they can appeal the matter to Dave Kile through PM or e-mail or even on the site comments forum (though the private route is better).

This debate has been brought up every year 15-20 times and we have the same posts about it. I take it as a insult seeing as I fish minnows time to time when the water gets high and off color and have never thrown litter on the ground or have done anything wrong.

Whoever says remarks like was said by the poster shows how much class they have by saying things like that to a whole group of anglers that can be no way like each other.
