I, too, feel that the policy of deleting entire threads for one or two offensive comments (in the eyes of some) is going overboard.

I also think, that some of the comments were made pushing the limits. Now however, there is just way too much overcorrection. I use to post on a regular basis and enjoy the bantering but the inconsistency has caused me to lurk more than post.

Hopefully, someone will see the light before the candle burns out. It would help, however, if when making posts, one remembers this is an open forum, read by many. If you won't say it at the dinner table in front of your wife and kids then maybe you should reword it and still get your message out. Just a thought and my .02

The Giz...

"Stew can't catch a shad if you hand him one hooked on your rod."

Finally something worth talking about over here.

"Shadless Stew cannot catch a shad even if he is handed the pole with one on it." More true words were never spoken.

As far as IFISH, I feel like I have been around my in-laws lately. Lots of complaining and belly-aching about everything all the time. Maybe it is justified, maybe it isnt, I dont want to make a call.
