You guys got to let up on me…your all just to damn funny! laugh

Like none of you guys ever "pick up" on a couple of my lines…. Too funny again!!

How's this for a point to end this thread; we the people who pay your salaries have a legal and moral (moral-that's really a good one that you guys used against me) right see exactly what we are paying each and every one of you. Likewise, if you were our employer and you paid us (the public) our salaries, you would also have the same exact rights. What is so darn hard for you guys to understand about that?

The person who's paying the bills has a right to see what and who they are paying for. It's really not complicated for most people to understand laugh I guess what really burns many state workers butts is the "fact" that we are their employer, and we also have our rights too! Same old boss emplyee battle that's been going on since time begin.

OK, I can't help myself, I just got to pull one more line from your last post laugh

You said; "See you on the next post, if it's fishing related that is."

Does that mean catching fish only? Does that exclude anything to do with fish management or why we never seem to have enough funds to enforce our rules or run our hatcheries more efficiently? You may not thing so, but everything is interrelated and the more the public knows, the better the chances are for change, and yes that even includes the salaries that the public is paying to each and every one of its employees cry

You got to get a hold of yourself and think about what you are saying! Being a teacher, I am surprised that you can't recognize the difference between debating an issued and being as you say "pissed off".

You said;

"cfm chose to post this, yet in typical manner got pissed off when he was immediately challenged. Like I stated earlier, Its ok to have an opinion as long as it matches his... I really dont think he thought this thing all the way through. I believe the intent was to draw attention to wdfw spending. But once the $hit hit the fan, I would have had some respect for him if he simply said "man, I didn't think about that..." but he didn't, he started name-calling and ripping people. I wasn't after anything other than to get him to see a different perspective. Go back and decide for yourself who turned it into this.... But thats sort of his gig now isn't it."

Let's go through your statement and see where the truth really lies. You got to remember that you are not talking to your students on this board. We are for the most part all adults. So most of us have mature minds (even if you don't like what you hear) so your debates or your opinions are going to be much harder for you to convince us compared to a much young undeveloped mind. WE been around the block one or two times already and formed our own opinions on many issues. That's probably the biggest difference between what "you" perceive to be right or wrong with this post.

You kind of surprised me when you said;" But once the $hit hit the fan, I would have had some respect for him if he simply said "man, I didn't think about that..." but he didn't, he started name-calling and ripping people."

Elkrun, my advice to you when I said repeat after me "I will not be paranoid" Is not name calling, it was just good sound advice! What better word could I have used? The definition was perfect; Paranoid: characterized by oversuspiciousness, grandiose delusions or delusions of prosecution. If it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck, why not call it a duck? No elkrun, I am not calling you a duck now laugh


Who was that guy who just posted this;" "Go back and decide for yourself who turned it into this.... But thats sort of his gig now isn't it.

To each his own I guess, but I'm done pissing in the wind here."

Well elkrun, there must have been just a few more drips left, or the "win" has shifted directions again!!

Did anyone ever teach you not to kick a sleeping watch dog? All you do is wake him up and you just get bitten all over again. laugh
