Uh, just who are you quoting there, Tim?


My inner self. Are you saying that yours was not intended to be a constructive
opinion?

I offered what I felt were three good ideas for improvement of
the site, get blasted by the original poster (who totally ignored my input),

and
get labeled "net nanny" by you!? WTF?


I agree. You did offer good ideas, and I apologize for calling you a net
nanny. I'd only seen your "BIOYA" post at that time. Please change "net
nannies" to "net nanny." :-)


Whew! That was close.

Barry, this is what is known as SPAM. There is no surer way to insure
a reputation as a scumbag and a moron than to post crap like this to
roff. This is not the place for you to advertise, it will do far more
harm to your business than good.

Now, if you want to contact me via email I might consider giving your
new site a professional critique, at my usual fee, of course.


If you don't like it, don't read it.

I am so sorry to read this because I rather enjoy pondering the
unanswerable mysteries and now it appears that one of my favorite
mysteries has been answered unequivocally. You really are as dumb
as you look. Who knew ?

Boohoo, little baby Kenny gonna cry? *sniff sniff sniff*

I just thought it was appropriate since you netfags err nannies always
say "Don't read the OT posts if you don't like them." Same doesn't hold
for spam unwess wittle Kenny says so I guess..... :-(

The following photo, which was taken right outside my front door, shows
the kind of goat lovers we welcome in Stanley:

http://www.ruralnetwork.net/~troutbum/web/goat.jpg

That's my dog Arlo in the bottom of the photo, for those of you who have
been privileged to meet him. He really liked that dead goat.

BTW, the goat (rump roast) was delicious. I can post a superb goat
recipe if anyone is interested.

If it's goat-friendly scenery you desire, you can hike not far from
town, into the Sawtooth Mountains, to Goat Lake:

http://www.ruralnetwork.net/~troutbum/web/goatlake.jpg

Finally BTW, North American Mountain Goats aren't really goats. They're
antelopes, like the European Chamois. The North American Pronghorn
Antelope, however, are actually goats. Evolution is complicated.

If somebody on roff says Orvis Wonderline is the greatest thing since
sliced bread, you may think he's never fly fished with anything else,
you may think he's an idiot, you may think he's right smack-dab on the
money, but you don't think he's an Orvis shill tryin' to sell you a
Wonderline because we, and I mean me, do not ever, never, ever, never
allow no goddamn SPAM around here. Period. End of paragraph.

And if you think that's the same thing as telling the right-wing
nitwit pinheads to ignore the clearly marked OT political threads
then you are WAY dumber than I give you credit for (and frankly
I give you LOTS of dumb credits).

Sorry to piggyback on your message, but what's going on here didn't sink in
'til later. It would appear that the topic has
changed. . .

1. Spam is an unwanted solicitation to buy something. I did not see that
the original poster asked anyone to BUY anything. Spam is NOT just anything
posted that one doesn't like or happens to disagree with.

2. When a brother of the angle asks for a little advice or help, I think it
should be given in the nature in which it was asked. Intimidation and
name-calling are off topic.

3. Civil discourse is sadly lacking in our society. It is possible to
disagree with someone without resorting to profanity and name-calling.
Those are the weapons of bullies, and surely we have more than enough of
those. Perhaps there is a newsgroup called alt.shrill.cuss.bully.infantile,
for those who insist on taking that tack. We are here to discuss fly
fishing. I think it takes more maturity to exercise restraint and remain
silent, than to twist an innocent post into something it isn't.

4. Barry, you don't deserve to be flamed. Your site looks very
professional, but the products are a bit sparse (understandably, for a new
business) in a few departments. Good luck to you in your venture, it is
obviously a labor of love.

Cordially yours,
Anglerboy
