aunty im trying to find some common ground here and you are continuing with insults and personal attacks.
elkrun- why should i get kicked off when so many are writing so much more forcefull, aggressive, assertive comments than I. the only difference I see is that those are coming from the conservative perspective. people e-mail me all the time and tell me that i am going to get kicked off. I hope they dont kick me off but i think that would only be censorship if they do and will only serve to limit the scope of diversity and strength in the fishing communtity. disagreement fuels learning. remember hitler tried to create a society where everyone thought the same . so did sadamm. no dissenting opinion in iraq was allowed. is this board going to be built to look like america , with all sorts of views ...or iraq? I am passionate about what i believe in and one thing I have learned is that unpassionate people dont do anything. both ghandi and martin luther king were thought of as very angry, passionate people when they were in their respective movements. now they are known as champions of peace.

Washington didnt cross the delaware out of happiness. like I said. I am sure that i get misinterpretted (i do type a lil fast sometimes and forget to correct stuff) but i am not raging or unhappy when i write that stuff. If you go back thru my posts, i think they would only be over the top to people who have made personal attacks against me or against other americans for protesting. If I am wrong in that than i would say it was misinterpretation or maybe i had too much coffe that day. the fact is I dont feel like writing post in response to everything i agree with , I end up writing them about things i disagree with. but we all agree on so much that it seems like preachin to the choir to only discuss what we all agree on. where we will learn and grow stronger as a fishing community is by discussing our disagreements. and I would like to discuss disagreements without being personally attacked every time I do.
