Ok
4Salt I'll pass on Todd's little game for the moment, and try to answer yours first!

I will attempt to answer your reply in the best possible way that I can. Please do not take any offense to my replies, because it is the way that I think and feel.

You stated: "With all due respect, IMHO, you my friend are rapidly loosing any and all credibility through your incessant caterwauling, and personal attacks."

For one thing 4 Salt, I have no ideal what the hell IMHO means! With that said, I am not too worried about my "credibility" on this board. That has already been established a long time ago. Because I have the "guts" to take on our boards best, that also appears to have made me a "risk factor" to some. That's nothing new for me, but it may be new to some. If you notice, it's always the same guys that come after me (probably not the best use of words…the goon squad). I hate to beat around the bush like so many tend to do, so I will cut right to the chase!

With that being said, you asked me "You seem to thrive on stirring the proverbial Pot". Why? Well, if not me who in the hell is going to make people get off their butts and debate these issues? The first time that a "new" members asks hard sensible questions that may be a little different then some seasons members; they try to chop off his head! That's a bunch of BS, I will continue to tell you guys so! The clan needs to learn that there are lots of opposing and different points of views out there, and just because they are different then the clans may be, it does not mean that they are wrong.

Moving on, you said; "Neither Jerry, stlhdh2o, or Todd attacked Micropterus101 personally, they just tried to make him see the logic and reality of the situation. You obviously have a very hard time understanding that."

If you really expect this board to believe that statement, then why do these same guys keep bringing up this "common sense" bull $hit? That was, and still is in my opinion, simply a personal attack on a thread that I wrote about 2 weeks ago because it apparently went against their grain. Now I told you the truth, so deal with it!

Moving on even more, again you say; "You've done some good things to benefit fishermen, especially where the Cowlitz River is concerned. Don't let those efforts be undermined by your personal dislike of those who see fishing in a different light than you do." I understand what you are saying, but I just will not accept their "catty remarks". When they do that, you can expect that I will come back and let them known my feelings.

Jerry; Your first reply: was fair enough; except for your last comment; [especially your incessant attacks on stlhdh2o]

Jerry, It doesn't take a brain scientist on this board to kwon or realize that stlhdh2o has been playing games!

Your second reply is a little bit different! Is it the "clip" on my should; or is the hair in up you butt... Fair enough?

Todd: That a great one! The "old attorney spin" special!
You say: "I'm starting to worry about you...everything you disagree with is a "conspiracy theory"..."

Isn't that the way attorney work and discredit the "other side"? Put the spin on other guy, and move on!

Readers will always read between the lines. They don't need you or me to tell them what's really going on here. "the conspiracy" thing is what all attorneys do best…right Todd?!

I like this one too Todd; "I'm especially quick to jump in in those cases because we as sportfishers can't have the political power to get anything done without the correct
information...and offhand use of wrong information is worse than not saying anything at all."

You also say; "I'd hate to be the flower delivery guy in your neighborhood, or even worse, the cable or telephone repair guy." Well, Todd, you would probability not be my first, second, or third choice for my attorney either if I had to take something to court!

Finally, 4 Salt, you ended your post with; Neither Jerry, stlhdh2o, or Todd attacked Micropterus101 personally, they just tried to make him see the logic and reality of the situation. You obviously have a very hard time understanding that."

Ok 4 Salt, fair is fair …right? What about Todd's attack on me…I guess that one was "OK" if the clan does it....right?
