Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

Has anyone heard from...

The 'Powers that be': They like a tough game, No rules. Some you win, some you lose.

They like a bomb proof cadiallac, Air conditioned, gold taps, back seat gun rack, platinum hub caps. They pick horses for courses, they're the market forces.

They like make-up, lime light power, game shows, rodeos, star wars, TV.

They're the powers that be and if you see them come, you better run.

They like treats, tricks, carrots and sticks
They like fear and loathing, they like sheep's
clothing And blacked-out vans;

Blacked-out vans, contingency plans
They like death or glory, they love a good story
 
Looks like there are other Fear & Loathing fans out there. Too bad my boat spends almost all of its time in my parking lot on the trailer & not in the water (wife, 3 young kids, business that doesn't run well when I'm not there).

I just KNEW what this thread was about before I opened it. I've been wondering about Mssr. Willowhead myself.

Dennis, Windknot, I don't get the non-sequiteur. I'm confused...
 
Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) has a song (posted some of the lyrics above.) Windknot decided to have those lyrics planted on his ship. :)
 
I was confused what it had to do with the "where the heck is Mark" post... He went from about 20 posts a day to none, I hope he's on vacation somewhere...
 
Scott,

Apparently he was banned. I missed that whole discussion somehow so when he just turned up gone, I was wondering where he was. I didn't mean to rehash anything negative that happened on the board here, so maybe it's best we just let one go.

On the other hand - Dennis since Mark was such a good citizen for so long - maybe it's time to give him another chance?

Regards,
Dave
 
News to me, I though he went on a long vacation somewhere. I don't remember anything he said on this site that would have brought that about - and I'm here checking things out often.

Too often, if you ask my wife. She calls it "fish mail", as in "Are you on that @%#$ computer again reading fish mail?"

He seemed like a nice guy, anyway... and I have to admit I've missed reading his input.

You know Mark was the one to turn me on to this site and banning him in my opinion was pretty lame. Opinions are like *#&#*$*'s, everybody's got one. And since he was a GOOD CITIZEN for a long time on this board, I agree with DaveR, Willowhead should be given another chance. Seem's he is deffinately missed on this site and if I'm wrong, someone enlighten me.

Finn,

I guess some people here have very thin skins. I wasn't privy, nor did I see what Mark posted, but he must have pissed some people off. Sure, maybe he's outspoken, often opinionated and sometimes gruff. However, more often then not, he'll go overboard to help someone out. There seems to be a clique on this board that can do no wrong and I guess Mark simply wasn't one of them.
 
ACK!!!! A clique? WHO? I'll have a talk with them. I hate cliques. Kinda shuts people out. I'm actually pretty embarrased if that's what's been going on here, right under my nose.

Anyway, I doubt Mark has tried to post in a very long time. If he had tried to post, the system would have let him.
 
Dennis,

I believe Mark, and others, are of the opinion that he is banned. If that is incorrect then I apologize and will stand correction. However, on this thread your first 2 posts said nothing about him not being banned. Why did you wait till your 3rd post? Anyway, why would someone who believes he is banned try to post as you suggest? Perhaps you should contact him and let him know that he may post to this site.

Just a thought.

As far as a clique, you figure it out.
 
Allan,

With regards to your first paragraph, I guess I've gotta get my priorities straightend out. I should have called Mark a long time ago, I just can't imagine what I was thinking.

As far as this clique thing... Now this interests me. I'd like to know more about it. Do you have to pay to become a member? Who is the leader of the pack? What exactly does one have to do to become a member. Thanks in advance for your answers.
 
Dennis:

As you are quite aware I do not or have not had any issues with you. I have tried to be a good member of this board. I was truly upset when Mark was banned so I banned myself as well. My Friends Fin and Mayfly and RW knew this. I understand that a certain topic set this whole thing in motion. This was not fare. I have seen people banned on this sight who came back in a short amount of time. Mark may have his ways like Allan said. I over look these issues because Mark is a friend and will always be there for me most of the time when trouble comes and I need help. Ok so maybe he said a few things here that maybe he should'nt of. We all have had times like this. Some more than others. If you look at some of the heated debates and arguments that was going on at the time was a good part of the trouble. Please note that the few heated debates and discussions got to heated for my liking so I did'nt post. I will apologize to everyone on this sight because since Mark was banned I banned myself and dropped out of a swap and wanted nothing to do with this sight because I was a little angry. Enough said. Bring back Mark and let's put this issue behind so we all can move forward as one happy bunch. By the way, all you guys missed a wonderful time at the gathering/fish-in up in Roscoe.

AndyB,

Sorry I missed your call on Thursday. Left you a message at work. Hit some of the secondaries on the NBR today along with a few spots on the NBR. All that posted land drives me crazy...actually makes me mad truth be told. Not a great day. Got one decent wild brown and a small one - about 3". We really need to get out somewhere I can get some decent fish. Anyone out there have some solutions for Achilles tendon wading injuries, please let me know.

Regards to all,
Dvae
 
Hi Andy.

Dennis,

Well, good to hear that you'll be contacting Mark. Maybe you guys can straighten things up.

As far as my comment about that other thing, I have no further comment.
 
Willow:
If you're out there, come on back. Hopefully all can get past whatever got everyone worked up. Second third fourth and one-hundredth chances for all sides are what it is all about. It is all supposed to be JUST fishing, right?

I myself hope Mark comes back and I don't see why he would'nt. And the answer to Paul's question, It's all supposed to be about "Fly Fishing", get it right pal LOL.:D :D
 
Well, well, well...........look who's back. ME! LOL........nice to know y'all care. "Made my day." To tell you the truth, i have NO idea whatsoever why i was banned. After the "Fair Warning" thread was posted, the only thing i ever did was use a DUH! in a post/reply to what's his name. LOL. Oh i did, send him a rather straight forward PM letting him know i have no respect for him.......but that's another show. Anyway......y'all take care. mark........
 
Welcome back. Nice to see you posting here again my friend. Look forward to your post's and input as always. Your fellow Guild brother and friend.


Andy
 
Mark - welcome back, you've been missed! However, your absence did give me a chance to catch up to your #1 spot on the "Most posted" list.

Not that I'm trying...

Beacuse I'm not...

;)
 
Mark,

Only comment is, "DUH!". (lol)
Tell you what: Let's impose personal bans about responding to egocentric, self-indulgence, arrogance and ignorance.

Andy - Hope this means that your self-imposed 'ban' is over.
 
good idea

Sounds good to me Allan. mark.........oh, and that WAS DUH! not is..............lol:D
