.........cancel me out of the DDFS my friend. I just can't get up the
enthusiasm that was once there. I need to get away
from this horse**** that passes for a fly fishing group. I've been a
member of roff for over 10 yrs and until relatively recently
enjoyed it overall. Hosting fly swaps was fun and something I enjoyed
doing. Over the years as we've seen new people
come on board it seems the political rhetoric has done nothing but
increase in intensity. It has done nothing but drive
people away that had previously participated in discussions of one
sort or another. I also stated this before, our friends
who are not US citizens also left, ones who took part in my fly
swaps..my God, what a bore it must be for them to wade
through this political swamp to get a nugget or two of something on topic.
It's amazing to me that one or two are still around come fly swap
time. The continual ranting of the
left will not abate I'm afraid, just get worse as time goes on. I will
continue to enjoy fishing as much as ever but
won't feel like sharing it as in the past. In years past, my kickstart
for the day was a hot cuppa and ROFF, but the ROFF I
knew is gone, mores the pity. Now it just ****es me off that the these
idiots can't take their political BS to a proper forum.
I take this stuff to heart more than I should, I know, but that's just
me. Some, including you, are not bothered by it to the
degree that I am. More power to you and the others.

One...you being one of the more verbose posters here, I'm surprised you
would even notice I posted more than one or two lines.
And two, it's not about censorship, it's about posting political crap to
the point where it's no longer roff, it's become
ropc, I and others did not sign up for this, and worst of all, it has
driven off some people that had regularly posted on topic stuff and have
left in disgust at those who use this as their political forum.
