Is it just me or...

hmmm... You'd think school was out or something. There seems to be a lot of insulting and instegating posts of late from the same five or or probably one person. I dont remember bieng such a dip**** when I was younger.
Oh well, just have to start a betting pool on how long before they/he gets booted.

[Farley]

I think he already did get the boot.

This is why I stopped reading the Political page. There's enough stress in my life without getting all riled up over some of these posts.

I agree ... it's funny, all most people wanna do is help a kid out and all they get is rudeness! Has there ever been any talk of a "Kid Forum" where young fisherman could share stories? I think it would be pretty cool for the youngsters and would start future fishing mn addicts young!

Back when I was a kid my dad had a saying.

Kids are to be seen and not heard.

Fellow FM'ers,

We traced a total of 9 aliases to the person who you are refering to and all have been banned. Hopefully this will curb the problem for now.

Enjoy the forums the way they were meant to be!!

[IFallsRon]

Thanks Tom and administrators for cleaning up.

Is there any way to post the names this guy was using?

[Bushwacker]

Just another reason why this site is the best. That baiting and name calling does nothing for a site except discourage new users and anger the old ones.

[Guest]

I would, but I think it would just feed into this guys ego. No need to srtoke that one if you get my jist.

[LEECH21]

Thanks Tom and all that helped, but can't this kid just log in as new names and keep being a pest?

He can, but he wont be able to from the computer he was using. The entire IP was banned, so anything from that addy is gonzo.

Tom, Rick, and other pro-staffers.

I like this site. There are tons of people on it. And with that, there are tons of valid info traded and passed onto others.

Great value in this place. And it is a lot of fun!!!

However, I do "travel" other forums as well. The negative thing that I see with this site, is that there is a lot of blasting and name calling. Seems to be, at times, there are "angry" people here.

I guess I don't know what to say at how to fix it, but man, sometimes users are just flat out rude here.

It is too bad, because it is just a tiny group that does it once in awhile, while the vast majority seems to be really good guys! However, when it happens, it does king of "torque" me.

Well, enough of my rambling.........Guess the old saying goes: "mean people suck!"

Lastly, just want to say thanks for the "free" info!!!! Keep up the great site. I like it!

Let 'em go so they can grow!!!

Big G,
That's the problem with a "free" site. It's hard to maintain it and keep things civil. That's another reason there are so many "pro staffers". Strength in numbers kinda thing. If we had less or only a few, there would be a lot more of that going on. Everyone does a pretty good job policing the forums they are assigned to and its a testement of Rick's foresight to see he needs his own "Dept. of Homeland Security"

We're trying to keep this as friendly of a site as possible, sometimes it's just plain hard to keep up with all the doofuses.

[HOF#13]

This site is flat out awesome.....

To Rick, the Pro-Staffers, and fellow members: I have learned so much from you all...Thank You.

There are always a few "bad apples" out there so to speak, but Rick and the rest of the staff do an excellent job of maintaining the integrity of this board.

Keep up the great work!!!!!

Jason

You're all a bunch of......"(insert expletive)" - ing..

gossiping....

bait smelling....

tall tale telling....

occasionally annoying....

but usually helpful....

Fisherpeople.

and this site wouldn't be the same any other way. Even the most annoying posters do nothing for me but add entertainment value to this site. Thanks to the moderators for doing a fairly good job of knowing when the can of cyber-whoop A55 needs to be opened.

P.S. So sorry for the name calling. Hope you all resent (I mean resemble) those remarks.

[upnorth]

If someone is too far off base with their comments just blow it off, it ain't worth getting all worked up about.

[psegriz]

This is the most informative fishing site I've seen and also very entertaining also. Some times it is down right hillarious, that is what makes this site so fun and addictive. Thanks to rick and prostaffers for this.
