Cathunter,
I don't post much but you've motivated me.
Your tirade is not going to get your point across to anyone. Being insulting and brutish is not going to endear your ideals to anyone.
I just want to point out two things. You've indicated that your intention isn't to offend. "you did"
Second, your presumption that this was between you and Jebusmc is wrong. This is a public forum. Everyone reads the posts here. So, your words are public, your argument is public, and you comments apply to everyone else who legally harvests fish. Myself included.
Please use a dictionary and discover the meaning of the word poacher. You'll find that you have not used it correctly. And please go out and find some more information on fishery management. You'll see that your view is not shared by much of the scientific community and in many cases Mother Nature herself.
Be sure to read this post carefully before you respond and you'll see that I have not told any miss-truths or exaggerations. In the two years I've read and participated in this forum I've never seen a thread this bad. While everyone can and will get hot under the collar, we've been able to retain civility.
This is a great forum full of many helpful people who all have a great time fishing. Fishing shouldn't be
. You are in the wrong here Cathunter. Accept that you were out of line; I don't care if you will admit it to us or not.
The written word reveals the true character of the author because in it resides the results of your contemplation.
