John boy (Pilar), you have brought forth some contradiction. You post for people to take matters privately to e-mail, yet you also didn't answer my 2 e-mails to you either - and they were very proper and constructive - and now this! How in the hell do you reconcile these facts? I will say that you aren't responsible for what's happened at ifish; albeit you are contributing lately. Everyone knows it's the female 'moderator' at ground zero that is responsible. That fact has been brought out in the open by enough credible people, along with the things she writes herself, that shouldn't even be in question any longer. And as you've said "she's easily offended". But she owns ifish - so be it. But she does not own the thoughts and preferences of the BB members! That BB has been built up to the point that it's become a situation of "If we can't play here where can we play? I guess we are stuck playing by the overly tight rules here." mentality. Well, they can certainly come here and have reasonable fun along with the fishing tech, because this site is now a regional one; not just a Washington site. And Bob is not only a good guy, he is a fisherman. I hope more ifishers post here. I post to both sites and will continue to do so because I have gotten to know so many good people at both places - and I have fishing issues to communicate to a broad audience. ...

The following is for Pilar's eyes only since he won't answer my e-mails. Seriously, go to next post please. .....

John, when I left ifish and posted some verifiable defense to outright lies posted about me you called me out physically, when we meet out fishing. Was that a misunderstanding? Or did you really want to test your Naval training against my training? I'm available. I know, not classy. But this thread you started here not only angers, it makes me re-question where you are coming from. - RT
