here, I will stick up for no one in this love-fest but
Sandy. He has contributed more to the sport of fly fishing, and the art of
fly tying, Ken, than you could ever dream
of doing. Further, far more than Mike or most anyone else
regularly participating here. Sorry you have a beef with
his contributions, but if Sandy is calling you out, that battle is over
before it starts.

Well, if he's calling me out for a battle of tying crazy
contraptions which can supposedly be tossed with a fly
rod then I agree with you, that battle is over before it
starts. But I didn't read it that way. Sounded to me like
the little nitwit nerd wanted to engage me in physical
violence next time we met. And that's just plain dumb.

Dave, if you want to see further vintage Connor, follow the
conversation from Rick on this date. Connor continues to be his real
nasty self. This is the connor that we who have been here for ten
years or more know.

Well Kenny boy, you better pray that some of the people you have
insulted and misused here never do actually meet you. Even one would
be disaster for you, ( well deserved to boot), but if ever you meet a
couple or more at the same time, they will undoubtedly make very sure
that you can never ever misuse anybody ever again.

Like all cowards, you delight in making threats from behind the safety
of your keyboard, your diseased mind forces you to keep on insulting
and provoking people. It will come home to roost one day Kenny boy,
to the very considerable satisfaction of nearly everybody who has ever
heard of you.

Maybe you could call for reinforcement from LaCourse the bar-room
brawler? I think most people would have some mercy on a 70 year old
idiot, but if any of those I referred to ever gets you in their hands,
you will be in bib big trouble Kenny boy.

If you can pick up useful information now and again then by all means
do so. But don´t attempt to enter into conversation with any of these
people unless you know them. They will insult and provoke you for
their entertainment.

Even on fishing matters, it is a good idea to take a lot of things
written here with a good pinch of salt.

Dave, if only you knew who Mike Connor really is, you would not listen
to one word he has to say. He is a pathetic hateful little man. He
has no allies on roff because of his past behavior. He has left these
pages fifty times in the past several years, always with a "I shall
never return" promise, but we always find him weaping on the doorstep.

There is a wealth of information on roff, and yes it is a nut house
with the inmates in charge. But after you've been here awhile, you
wouldn't want it any other way. Ask an honest question and it will be
answered without all the pontificating pompous poopoo from Connor.

His statement above regarding fishing matters means that no one here
can possibly answer any of your questions. I believe you have seen
differently in your short time here. If someone gives you bad advice,
someone else will step forward and advise you differently and chances
are there will be no acrimony. If Connor answers your question and
one or two other people disagree for one reason or another, well......
Katie bar the door because Connor is gonna have one of his
I-know-it-all-and-everyone-else-is-an-arsehole fits.

Dave

Mike, I am going to take the time to answer your verbose statement,
point by point.
Davie boy, you and your dumb and misbehaved cronies have ****ed off
just about all the good fly-anglers who posted here.

So, let's see: There is Wolfgang, RW, Frank Sr. and Jr. , the good
Mike, Peter Collin, Tatosian, Bob W., Snoop Dog, Jonathan, et al.
I've fished with just about all of them and they are all good anglers
by ANY definition. So, are you calling all of them poor anglers?

You post bull****
and attacks, and nothing at all useful.

Well, yeah, sometimes. Guilty as charged, Sir. But, ah ahem, so do
you. d;o)


You are not ROFF, you are an
old fool. Fortenberry is not ROFF he is just a really nasty piece of
work who provokes and insults people for pleasure.

Never said I was roff (it's lower case, Dumbo). And I fully agree,
neither is Ken. Can't speak for Ken, but I do proboke you for the
simple pleasure it gives YOU. You live off of it, Mike. It makes you
the center of attention, and THAT is what your psychotic narcissism
desires, graves like a opiate. If we ignored you (like we should),
you would cry like a little baby, and come back with some poorly
written doggerel, hoping we would all say in unison, "Praise be to
you, oh Michael the Wonderful. Praise be to you."

More and more people cease posting because of the atmosphere mainly
Fortenberry, ably assisted by others, like you, has created.

Then what the heck have I been reading (besides this good old ****ing
contest). Lots of good posts including some very nice recent TRs. No
one is afraid of Fortenberry or this old man.

It does not matter where one fishes, how one goes about it is what
matters, and in what frame of mind and spirit.

Man, you hit that one right on the head, Mike. EXACTLY the way I feel
about fly fishing.

It does not matter how
many fish one catches,

Agreed.

or how much tackle one can afford to buy, or
how many expensive and exotic venues one can afford to fish, or even
what any single person may know about it,

Agreed

what is important to true
anglers is the spirit of fishing, and the spirit of other true
anglers, and being able to share these things with them. You don´t
have it, and you never will. neither does Fortenberry.

You are wrong, Mike. I have several friends at Lakewood that I have
helped make better anglers by simply sharing a fly or a technique with
them. They are dear friends, something I bet you do not enjoy. I
have helped several roffians over the years with their fishing
techniques. Fortenberry? I believe he has shared a few things over
the years with others on roff. I've never really fished with him, but
I do know that his in-person-persona is quite different than his roff
persona. He's a nice guy for a #@*&^ liberal. However, he does not
suffer fools easily. You couldn't/wouldn't/shouldn't be his friend.



I had hoped that a few people would join in and make you and
Fortenberry understand what you are and what you do. But it is not
going to happen,

Yeah, your "straw poll" thinky sort of went flat, wot?

apart from a few brave souls like Sandy and Lazarus,

Neither Sandy nor Lazarus are "brave souls". They just don't like
Fortenberry. Neither does RW or Wolfgang, but they don't appear to be
any of your "brave souls".

yes even the Guy from central Illinois

He means so much to you that you don't even know his NAME? What a
jerk you are, Mike. A real jerk. You could have looked up his name
on one of his posts, but instead "Guy for central Illinois" is good
enough. If he had referred to you as the "guy from Germany" there
would have been hell to pay for ALL of us. You would have blamed us
for corrupting him. Man, you are a work of art, Mike.


who posted his thanks and tried
to be pleasant.

He didn't try to be pleasant, he WAS pleasant. I gave him grieve
about the fighting butt because I erroneously thought he had already
purchased a rod without one and was complaining. Turned out I was
wrong and apologized to him. It's right there, Mike. Look it up.

he is a newbie, but he already knows more about
fishing and the true spirit of angling than you ever will.

Well, since you don't know him nor me, I don't understand how you can
say that.

He tried to
share his pleasure, and he was censured by arseholes like you. The
first reply called him a "meathead".

Yep. That person was out of order and someone called him on it. And
if he was not called on it someone else would have.

You have no idea what angling is about, or what the brotherhood of
anglers is about, and you likely never will.

I learned angling in the 1940s from my mother and father, and an
uncle. They tied better flies than you and were far better anglers
than anyone I have ever met. They too would not suffer a pompous
pommy poopoo like you. Your problem, Mike, is that fishing is the
only brotherhood you have. Everyone on roff has something besides
fishing, something else that they love and are good at. Fortenberry
is into canoeing. I am into fast cars and track days. Tatosian does
RC stuff (if I remember correctly). Wayno does golf. We all have
something else beside fly fishing. Brotherhood? You don't
understand the word, Mike. Your behavior over the years on this forum
has proven that.

Eventually more and more
sensible people will desert this place, because it is not worth the
effort of posting at all, if all that results is abuse and a load of
bull****.

Seems to me there are lots of newbies, Mike. If it is not worth the
effort of posting, please, please I beg you, why do you hang on?

When the only people who are left here are you and Fortenberry and a
coupll of other arseholes, you might dwell on that. It wont make any
difference to me, but it will make a difference to you and others, who
will certainly not be welcome anywhere else.

And before that happens, Mike, you would have left roff AT LEAST
another two dozen times. Before long, you are probably going to ask
us to buy you a new cape. The one you have now has got to be frizzy
(made up word, there, Mike). d;o)

You'll communicate with me, Mike. I am GOOD for you. I make you

I'm here, Mike, whenever you need me.

I agree. But there has always been a little bit of bad blood between
Sandy and Ken, and I think Sandy found a spot to zing Ken, not that
there is anything wrong with that. Hell, this IS roff.

And I have to agree with that too. Sandy WAS calling him out to some
physical stuff (it's not violence, man, it's fighting).

Look, we all know that Mike Connor, however knowledgeable, can be a
pompous ass, but Fortenberry is far worse. He's a preening, elitist,
attention-seeking gadfly who gets his kicks from from annoying people. A
keyboard coward. A thoroughly disgusting example and a waste of carbon.

Yeah I do, god help me, derive pleasure from poking fun at
the pompous. Last time I saw you, you were hiding in your tent
because I'd given you a dirty look and blown a double lungful
of Marlboro Red right smack into your face. You were rude and
disrespectful and all I wanted to know was had you seen anyone
else from roff and know where they were camping. Still smarting
from that are you ? Perhaps you wouldn't have had to hide in your
tent if you'd had a keyboard to protect you ? LOL !!

Let me put it this way, I am proud to annoy all the right people.

Dangleberry is the principal provocateur. He has
been for years. Most readers ignore his posts. The only
responses (for the most part) he does get come from his
incessant taunts. So I guess we've helped train him that way,
over the years. I think I met him once. Can't remember
where, but I do have a mind's eye picture of a pudgy, vertically
challenged nerd with the physical presence of an overfed
pet mouse.

When he sits behind a keyboard, however, where there is no
chance of meaningful consequence, a metamorphosis
takes place. Like a marvel comics hero, Dangleberry instantly
becomes a tough guy. Like the horny, stumbling, love-lorn spiderman,
Dangleberry changes his cameleon colors. Years of frustration--
probably dating all the way back to primary school--transform
into a sadistically comic warrior--a sawed off
Barney Fife becomes Russell Crowe in the Colosseum.

I realize I'm not contributing to the peace process
by saying this. But this soap opera has been going on for so long now
I do think it's a hopeless cause anyway.

Dangleberry: perhaps we'll meet again someday.
Could be some real fun then.

You nailed it, Sandy. Spot on.
