I call shenanigans! I call shenanigans! Get the brooms!
IAC, you didn't deny any of it, either, oh eminent carpet-fishing hand-tossing tester o' flies...it musta been a pretty chilly swim for you girls, repeatedly going after the ol' wonderfly during the extensive testing....you probably paddle out doggy-style with the flashlight in your mouth just for a little extra thrill...I'll bet the sight just makes yer boys Klaus and Dieter just swoon and melt into in their rubber lederhosen... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! PS: how far can a limpwristed Nazi homo like you actually throw a fly? Man, you arnīt just stupid, youīre sick. On second thought I think I will just simply leave. Why would you call somebody you dont even know a nazi homo? Sheesh, I know there are plenty of wierdos on the web, but you really take the cake. I thought this was a fishing group. Hey, sorry Mike if I caused you any upset. Just enthusiastic about your fly, and the guy asked about an upside downer. No idea there were such nutcases in here. Is this because you live in germany or something? Johnno |

Well, we're about halfway there. The principle difference is that the monkeys have a much better notion of what is expected of them......and how to get the job done.

I have not posted anything of the sort. I merely stated quite clearly that I did not like queers. I still donīt. It is a simple matter for anybody who wishes to go and check. It does not matter a jot how many times you repeat such lies, they remain lies. You can not quote a single instance of "vehement invective" from me on this matter, because there is none. Quite obviously, you and Mr.Dean are the experts for invective here. Anybody reading the absolute nonsense you both write probably merely assumes you are unhinged. The pair of you have once again turned a perfectly innocent question from somebody about a fishing matter, into an insulting and completely abnormal outpouring of violent and evil rubbish. You have quite obviously driven many people away from this newsgroup, and you are also effectively preventing anybody else from joining. Nobody with any sense at all would even take the remotest chance of being subjected to your sociopathic nonsense. It is embarrassing to think that people with such vicious and disgracefully demeaning characters should even be anglers. You are not even worthy of pity. Mike Connor |

Every time you lie, I will pop up to remind you that it is not nice to tell lies, nor is it nice to attack other people as a result of your obsessions. Either post proof of your allegations, or cease posting them. Nobody wants to hear any more from you anyway. You have betrayed people who were your friends, smeared erstwhile fishing companions on a public newsgroup, indeed, all told, you a quite distasteful creature in any case. Gehrke had an excuse, in that he was as crazy as a loon, but you have none. You are not crazy in that sense, Just wicked, vicious, and twisted, obviously suffering from a severe personality disorder, and apparently determined to do other people harm.

MC as you may know, ken has called me a "liar" (indirectly, but clearly) about the existence of a well-known and well-documented lake, containing fish, in yellowstone. it didn't set well with me either. he has doggedly maintained his position (a "lie"?) since. i think he even went as far as to suggest photos (taken by others who accompanied me to the lake, who saw and fished in the lake, and who did not share my agenda), including one of a large brook trout caught in the lake, were manufactured or taken at some other location. rather than engage him in this venue, i simply chose to publicly, and with witnesses, prove him wrong. i even offered a most reasonable challenge...the "put up or shut up" you mention...in which he was given the opportunity to meet in yellowstone at a time convenient to him, and, if he proved me wrong, at no cost to him. i agreed to reimburse his travel and lodging cost if he proved me wrong. he declined (or never responded). in short, seeking to have ken support his claims is a feckless challenge. don't waste your time. and i agree, the change in the tone of this place since my first days here, the days you wrote and shared your marvelous doggerel, has changed. yet, i've never expected much from any newsgroup, and i sort of push my pig-footed way through the muck, hoping to find a pearl here and there. as a consequence of my tenure here, i've been fortunate to meet and develop personal relationships with some very fine and enjoyable people; i've learned a lot; i've visited new places made more comfortable and welcoming by someone whose name i first encountered here, who before the visit was a stranger; i've enjoyed a lot of good laughs; and, i've read some facinating things along with a load of tripe. you well know, some things can't be changed. those who have made the effort, who frequent other internet fishing sites, and who are conscientious in their review and consumption of fishing info know the wheat from the chaff. jeff As it happens, I did not know. I have not followed ROFF very closely for quite a long time. I look in occasionally,and read a few posts, but that is all. However, it does not surprise me in the least. Many of the old regulars are gone as far as I can see, and there are not many posts at all, even fewer about fishing. I agree with what you say to a great extent, although I did at one time expect far too much from this group, and made it too important to myself. That was a serious mistake. I now participate in and contribute to a number of boards etc, where they stick to fishing, behave themselves, and it is pleasant and interesting. This place is now just depressing and irritating. Fortenberry is a major cause of the decline. His ignorance and abuse has touched everybody, even those not directly attacked. As you say, there is presumably not much to be done about it, but I will nevertheless continue to refute his lies. Best wishes, regards and tight lines! Mike Connor |

MC as you may know, ken has called me a "liar" (indirectly, but clearly) about the existence of a well-known and well-documented lake, containing fish, in yellowstone. it didn't set well with me either. he has doggedly maintained his position (a "lie"?) since. i think he even went as far as to suggest photos (taken by others who accompanied me to the lake, who saw and fished in the lake, and who did not share my agenda), including one of a large brook trout caught in the lake, were manufactured or taken at some other location. rather than engage him in this venue, i simply chose to publicly, and with witnesses, prove him wrong. i even offered a most reasonable challenge...the "put up or shut up" you mention...in which he was given the opportunity to meet in yellowstone at a time convenient to him, and, if he proved me wrong, at no cost to him. i agreed to reimburse his travel and lodging cost if he proved me wrong. he declined (or never responded). in short, seeking to have ken support his claims is a feckless challenge. don't waste your time. and i agree, the change in the tone of this place since my first days here, the days you wrote and shared your marvelous doggerel, has changed. yet, i've never expected much from any newsgroup, and i sort of push my pig-footed way through the muck, hoping to find a pearl here and there. as a consequence of my tenure here, i've been fortunate to meet and develop personal relationships with some very fine and enjoyable people; i've learned a lot; i've visited new places made more comfortable and welcoming by someone whose name i first encountered here, who before the visit was a stranger; i've enjoyed a lot of good laughs; and, i've read some facinating things along with a load of tripe. you well know, some things can't be changed. those who have made the effort, who frequent other internet fishing sites, and who are conscientious in their review and consumption of fishing info know the wheat from the chaff. But think of how much menudo you could make with a load of tripe...and I'm sure someone out there has a recipe for chaffcakes ala mode Francais or something...I tried a chafftini once, but it was too dry for my tastes...YMMV...if you read the gas gauge, anyway...

Expectations, in clear and open defiance of the so-called law of supply and demand, are a coin both infinitely valuable AND abundant in the purchase of misery. It would be in the best interest of anyone reading this newsgroup to give up this ceaseless craving for more and better, and be content with the fact that so many of the world's stevies, kennies and dicklets are so willing to provide the rest of us with so much free entertainment at their own expense, and show every indication that they will continue to do so ad infinitum.......despite our insistence that we do not expect it of them. Wolfgang and if you can't be with the one you love..... |

I mean what with keeping track of all the promiscuous queer pedophiles down at the train station who are all the time squeezing your skinny little bum and making sure the homosexual neo-Nazis don't completely dominate German politics you must have your hands full already. Gawd, it's no wonder you can't find the time to fish anymore. Plenty of time. You're falling down on the job already and you haven't been my personal Usenet stalker for a whole hour yet !! C'mon Mike, what about those promiscuous queer pedophiles who make German train stations an unfit place for children and the queer neo-Nazi skinheads ? You've had plenty to say on those subjects before, why so quiet now ? Get to work Stalker Bigot !! You are lying and fantasising again. I will merely continue to point that out. I am certainly not going to get involved in your fantasies. Weak, very weak, and utterly predictable. Some Stalker Bigot you're turning out to be. -- Ken Fortenberry You are still lying and fantasising. You can not predict anything at all, and I am not a stalker. I am merely pointing out that you are telling lies about me. MC |
