Based on the location, I think that could be Paul Williamson - a nice
guy and great fly tyer, but very thin skinned. Some people find this
looney bin overwhelming, and some find it invigorating. One of those
groups is missing something.

one of the things I have always found amusing on that particular site(FAOL)
is that the administrators/owners will gladly ram their opinion regarding
God, politics or the military down the throats of their readers, but shun
controversy from the posters. I found that part rather repugnant......

I agree. Everyone on that site is so polite and afraid to step on the
toes of the owners/administrators that it sometimes seems to be a
fantasyland. The owners, however, have very strong opinions and, as
Tom notes, are not afraid to get up on the soapbox and rant. I
occasionally visit FAOL, and get the feeling I am on the "Stepford
Flyfishing Site".

My buddies and I had the misfortune of hosting the owners one June evening
in Michigan. I have never met a couple more full of themselves or their
fishing ability.

You haven't been fishing in Western Mass, have you? ;-)

For those inclined to organize their lives around the principle of a
perceived need to be punished, a place devoted exclusively to polite
discussion of fly fishing will do as well as any other, I suppose.
And there is no arguing the obvious fact that many people evince a
genuine....and even desperate....need for protection from the ravages
of "rec.outdoors.flyfishing."
