My hard earned and well deserved reputation in the fishing world, and indeed

attempting to undermine it.

how? I have been paying attention to these threads, sort of, and can't for the
life of me understand your point, Mike. You were the one who posted the initial
War on Roff item, in it ruminating on how you don't like the place. Others
responded, some mockingly, but NO ONE denigrated your fishing expertise in any
manner. You were the first to attempt to make attendance at Roger's clave some
sort of referendum on who likes who......BTW, I feel badly for Roger, who has
to suffer over his planned clave because you choose to act like a pious
buffoon. You, I hope, will at least offer him an apology? Please, point out
where in the entire process some one attacked your reputation in the angling
world. While you are at it, you might want to reconsider constantly stating
your own importance and the deserved nature of same, as it tends to make you
sound a bit pompous.

you may also discover to
your chagrin that the guy you punched is not satisfied with simply punching
you in the mouth, but rips your balls off instead.

what seems to be the case here, is the punchee responds by ripping his own
balls off. At any rate, I think your reputation is more at risk by your own
actions than those of others.....
