Some of you who know Mike in the real world... have fished with

no way you could try to convince him--by email, not here--that
however he may be reacting to the goading going on here, no one
who is thinking straight posts photos of himself in just his
*underpants* on a fishing newsgroup?
Is there no way, as friends, you can make him see that there is
something seriously wrong here and that it needs to stop?
And to those keeping this going.... if you really believe, as you
say, that Mike may be ill, why are you goading him? *The whole
thing, on all sides, is repugnant in the extreme.

(going back now to staying out of it.....)
An interesting post. Not least because you too apparently assume that
there is something wrong with me, and not with the perverts
responsible for all this crap.
My friends just laugh at all this nonsense.I am perfectly normal,
( although I was admittedly somewhat inebriated when we were messing
about last night. You ought to be grateful I kept my underpants
on!
). Also, my girlfriend actually posted the photos, and I have
now removed them in any case. Not because I care much what anybody on
this group thinks, but because it was a rather silly thing to do.
You should not make the mistake of believing the bull**** and
propaganda these idiots engage in.
Even if these people actually did think I was ill, it would still not
prevent them spewing their perverted ****e because that is basically
all they can do.
As others have found to their cost, and many many others have pointed
out over time, there is nothing you can do about these people. The
only real option is simply to ignore this group altogether. Most
unfortunate I agree.
Taking the **** out of these total assholes, and holding them up to
ridicule, basically mirroring their behaviour, is the only way to do
anything at all. Various people reading all this crap may well think
less of me as a result of it, I am perfectly well aware of that, but
they also think a very great deal less of those who engage in it.
I am thousands of miles away, and will never meet these ****bags, so
what they think or donīt think is really quite immaterial to me.
Believe me, none of this has any material effect on me, my friends, my
fishing, or my comparatively pleasant life. It does however have an
effect on them, and those who know them personally.
While your concern does you honour, ( although I am not exactly
enamoured of a sensible person thinking I am a nutcase), it is not
necessary, and will be useless in any case. This nonsense will once
again stop when I decide to stop it, and not before. In the meantime,
even more people will be convinced of what these characters are. This
group is in any case doomed as a fishing group.
However all this may be, your concern for my well-being is misplaced,
and it would not surprise me at all if it resulted in this thread also
morphing into a cascade of bull**** and insults, with the dumbos
claiming that others also think Iīm crazy.
I have no friends on this group, and I never did have. A couple of
pleasant acquaintances and people I got on well with,there are also a
few people I respect, but friends? Friends are something altogether
different. I have nothing whatsoever to lose on this group, or as a
result of it. All I had to lose as a result of the bull**** here I
eventually simply cut away myself.
Ah well, I simply donīt have time for this now, I am going out for the
day with my girlfriend.
Hope you have a nice day too.
