the death of roff

the demise of rec.outdoors.fishing.fly is a tragic certainty. there may be
some reflexive flips and flops, not unlike the last gasps of a rainbow in
the rocks and sand up on hazel creek, but you can mark it down as gone; long
gone.

that truth troubles me as much as anyone. but, there you have it.

Well, why don't you go fishing with me and jeffy in Maine come next
June? A good trip report would help.

Yeah, like buggy whips, full service gas stations and phone booths
Usenet is dead and, for all practical purposes, gone.

It was fun while it lasted.

Jeff, Indian Joe and I discussed this on Penns Creek one day. The
toxicity of this place certainly has contributed to driving people
away from ROFF. Ranting is fine, and disagreeing is fine. But this
place slipped into just plain ugly from time to time.
I know – leave if you don’t like the place….

People get driven away from EVERY place, EVERY day. And it is rarely
toxicity that does the trick. Look at religion.....ANY
religion.....for a case in point.

Ranting is fine

sometimes

and disagreeing is fine.

nearly always.

But this
place slipped into just plain ugly from time to time.

So?

I know – leave if you don’t like the place….

Yeah.....good plan.....wouldn't want to stick around and do anything
to make it better.....right?

gee......i wonder if anybody wonders why this sort of **** happens.

hm......karma, i guess.

The main reason for the demise of this group is you, and others like
you, you poisonous *******.

You wont last five minutes on any social media as soon as you get up
to your nasty tricks.
