I will not be satisfied until Jose casts his vote.

That's gonna be a long wait. I can feel him stalking me as I type this

No beetle sucks as bad as Simms. He has insulted men and women in uniform. He must be destroyed

Insulted the U.S. military? Really? This must be a joke. Why the hell would anyone do that? You've been here much longer than I have, so I'll take your word for it.

Yes I am pretty new. When did all the hatred towards beetle begin? He seemed fine to me.

I know he's called millitary people "slaves" but probably because they work for next to nothing and get very little if anything in return while many people who are part of the US Government lie, lie, lie, but are set for life, entitled to the best benefits your money can buy, etc... So really, they are slaves (unfortunately). At least CTobias got a free ride home. Bet he didn't even get to sit first class after spending countless months in that third world country fighting.

As a moderator, I've been trying to follow your lead....

But personally, I'm also bothered by the racial/ethnic/religious pejoratives.
Sometime it seems that we're surrounded by a bunch of overage eighth graders, and "frat boys", trying to impress each other with bad words.

When it was just AK, it wasn't a problem.... Just move the worst of it to an open discussion forum.
Now, there's way too much of it to keep up with.

Questioning and even ball busting the military is much more essential to free speech than Jew bashing but I'd rather have both than neither.

Duane, I love borrowing John Lennon to bash liberals. Imagine no religion........

Horse hockey I say to you. They are not slaves. No one is forced to join and many go on to leave successful lives. I am one of many so to all them slaves is at best ridiculous and at worst demeaning. This has been a public service announcement

I know it's not prime time for most trout fishing now, maybe that's why there so much non-ff banter. Is it entertaining, yes, at times. But there sure is a lot of non-ff banter for a ff site.

If you don't want to listen to what's on the radio, turn it off.

[boom2it]

Its gotten to the point that I am surprised when there is an actual fishing report, which are few and far between and its not long until a fishing related thread is "high jacked" and heads down hill. I am all for it.

I think both Dennis and Pete summed it up elsewhere in this thread - have fun, bust some chops, accept that you'll get busted in fun too, but loose the ethnic hatred.

I'm fundamentally opposed to censorship. I think its difficult to manage without going down a slippery slope. If you don't like whats posted, don't respond to it, don't feed the flames. However, if the goal is to increase the quality of the site, its DC's perogative since this is his site, and we're guests here. If the first thing that new people see when they come here is shit, well, I can understand the dilema.

As far as the recent hate-posts go, I'm sorry to say but Beetle is playing Simms like a fiddle. He is totally baiting you dude, and your taking it. I wonder who the better lawyer actually is here.
