I'll let you know before it happens...this entire thread ain't long for the world either. It'll be whacked soon as one of the moderators comes out of their Christmas food coma or gets tired of playing with their new Craftsman tools set and signs on.

Is there a double standard and the rules selectively enforced on this board? Yes.

Is that fair? Yes. Once and for all: It's their board to run as they please. Dicken can post things that you or I can't because he's a moderator and one of the pricipals of this here enterprise.

I'd say I've started or participated in dozens of threads that got tossed in the cyber bit bucket. Had my feelings hurt and left, but I always come back.

Before anyone gets to feeling negative about it, this site has some things going for it that not many others do. There are no freakin pop up ads. Can I get a AMEN!?!? The posters on here are good local folks and this place is a great resource for fishing info, boat repairs, weather/water conditions...the list goes on and on.

The folks who run this site are each and every one good people. I personally know all of them excpet apb, and they are top shelf. (Well Dicken may only make it to the middle shelf, but that ain't bad.)

Dave Stewart is an ex Marine and one of the most militant moderators. He'll whack your post with no explanation, and if he could he'd make your azz do 20 push ups on top of it. He's also an excellent angler who happens to be one the most helpful bass chasers in Kentucky. He's smart enough not to take what happens on here personally, and will take the time to honestly help you catch more fish instead of talking in generalities. The dude gets paid to go fishing, but does a heck of a lot of stuff he doesn't get paid for.

Ole Danny is alright when he's asleep. He's meticulously fair and always has a well considered, thought provoking opinion on things. IMO, he does a dang good job on here.

Would I be a moderator(even if they were crazy enough to ask me)? Not a chance, don't need the aggravation of dealing with pains in the hiney like me.

Would you?

Okay all you moderators, the hiney kissing session is over. I now return myself to my regularly scheduled abuse.

Happy New Year
