Thanks Tom, I really appreciate the tip! Oh wait, does this mean he can't see my reply?
Cool! In that case, does anyone else here remember what color Power Bait he used to break out of his long slump on wild brookie streams? Thinking about mailing some to cheer him up. It'll be a fun surprise since he can't see my posts here anymore.
Tim,
This has gone far enough. The original thread was simply about the PFBC fall and winter stocking schedule. It has now repeatedly turned into personal comments about other members and arguments about the site and its moderation. Your latest post continues that.
Our policies and guidelines have been in place for many years. These three sections sum them up best:
Be respectful of other members. Challenge another person's point of view or opinion, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Personal attacks, insults, belligerence, profanity directed at others, and hostile or abusive behavior are not acceptable.
Disagree with ideas, not people. Strong opinions about fishing methods, species, stocking, conservation, regulations, fisheries management, or any other fishing-related subject are welcome. Do not ridicule, attack, or harass other members because of the type of fishing they enjoy or the opinions they hold.
Moderation decisions. Public arguments about moderation or individual moderator decisions are not permitted. If you disagree with a warning, deleted or edited post, or another moderation decision, contact the moderator or an administrator privately. Respectful disagreement with a moderator is fine; turning a discussion thread into an argument about moderation is not.
You do not have to agree with me, the moderators, or other members here. You don't have to agree with our policies either. You are welcome to strongly disagree about stocking, wild trout management, conservation, fisheries management, or just about anything else related to fly fishing. What you do have to do, if you choose to participate here, is follow the same guidelines that apply to everyone else.
So we have two choices going forward:
1. You can remain a member of Paflyfish and agree to follow the site guidelines going forward.
2. You can tell me that you no longer want to participate, and I will close your account at your request.
Please reply to this post within 24 hours with one of those two answers. I'm not asking for another debate about the guidelines or what has happened in this thread. I'm simply asking you to decide whether you want to remain part of this community under the same guidelines as everyone else.
If you choose to stay, that's the end of this and we move on. If you ask me to close your account, I will do so. If you don't respond within 24 hours, I'll close the account.
The choice is yours.
Dave
