I will try not to sound defensive however....

Superfly is incorrect. I'm not a tribal member, I do not work for the tribes, nor do I work for any state. In fact, whom I work for is irrelevant. I happen to be an avid angler (like alot of folks on this BB) from Vancouver, WA. I simply posted the press release from the WDFW. I also took the opportunity to point out that the civility of the discourse on this issue had decreased considerably. And with the right information, it could have been avoided.

But ZoZo is quite correct in pointing out that this information was unavailable when he first posted his question; and that he is certainly not responsible for posts other than his own.

I believe we can and should continue to debate the issues while also expressing our own views on various subjects, regardless of how strongly we hold those opinions. However, without good information on exactly what is happening, debates can turn into brawls. Big Bob was right to call a time-out. We can all do better. I'm sure Big Bob agrees and expects us to treat his BB with a bit more respect.
