What makes this board unique for me is the generally positive tone of the posts. Sure we have squabbles (look higher in this thread) but this is for the most part a positive place to visit. Peter and Jim have taken pains to set the rules to try and make it so. I've been a proponent of this being a more freewheeling forum, but I have to admit this place works the way it is.

The mega-hit sites like bass fishing home page have turned into little more than a flamefest where a number of punks/jerks lurk around and pounce on every single post with venomous personal attacks and such.

I occassionaly get in the mood to go over there and do some hookin, jabbin, and jousting, because it's always deeply satisfying to lambast some twit in desperate need of a beat down.

But I always come back here where I like it best.
