A challenge to my fishin.com brothers

[pontooner]

What do ya say that next week, Monday through Friday we post nothing about Obama or ANYTHING political. Let's look at it like a challenge to see what we can talk about for one whole week without venting anything at all about politics.

What do you sya fellars, can we do it?????? It'll be fun just to try, let's do it............

Sounds good to me but by Monday this post will be buried somewhere around page 3 and everyone will forget about it so keep bumping it up until then.

And mhall are the one that got Grumy to post that sticky up top about political disscusions? Kind of odd you started this thread.

Also what did I miss that got the sticky there in the first place? Have a funny felling it had something to do with someones reply to one of my post that I made late last night.

Pontooner, no one post nor even several post or posters caused that Sticky, rather it was the result of way too many posts that went too far to be consider civil discourse. Just becase you hear or see something on the radio or TV (like calling someone a liar or a puke) doesn't make it acceptable in civil society.

Hmmm,seems like a wager should be in order.

Besides,I have all next week to rile everyone up over the upcoming UK-UL Governors Cup Football Game!

I'm in but I don't think it will make it 4 days. Something will happen and somebody will make a political post.

Thanks Grumpy

Would really hate to see the political talk banned but then again I'm not a moderator that has to sift through all the stuff posted.

One more question and you don't have to answer it if you don't think it's appropriate.

Were the post deleted that caused the sticky or it is just the overall tone of stuff that got it put there? I'm asking to make sure I keep my post within the rules because none of mine were deleted but want to see if they need toning down.

Thanks again.

Pontooner, I did delete two or three posts in the last few days but as I said before, it was not any one post or poster but, as you said, it was the overall tone of stuff and especially the way the bad mouthing of politicians and of fellow posters as well as the escalating bickering that caused the sticky. Also, as I said, if everone will just try to keep it civil, there won't be a problem.

Now why would you automatically assume it was all my fault. Wow there are guys that can put me to shame on here in the mud slinging. But i seem to be a pretty good scape goat on here sometimes, but that's alright, I'll get over it.

I was just messing with you buddy, that's why I put the smiley in there.

And I'll agree with you about you not being the biggest trouble maker on here, shoot I might even put in Fav 5 sometime (T-mobile reference).

Wow! I have 5 whole days to slam the republicans and dont have to answer anything! Im just kiddin, I wont be the 1st to post anything and bet it wont go past 3pm on Monday, someone will blow up.

Should be easy enough to do provided things in Washington stay low key for the week...but if something "stupid" happens, or if something "stupid" gets said out of Washington I think someone's gonna fire off on this board in regards to it.

Hmmm...now I wonder, what are the chances of someone in Washington saying something totally stupid within the next week ....Bwahahahahaaaaa

insert crickets chirping soundbite here beginning Monday.........

Gotta admit I love reading everyone's position. Since we all like to fish it's nice to see how folks with similar interests think on different topics, especially politics. Statistically it probably is fairly representative of a slice of America.

Man is Louisville gonna stink in basketball this year..............
