Is this really a big deal..........

or is all this trivial bickering about posting of commercial items more
frustration venting because of cabin fever?
I'm getting on my soapbox with flame retardant underwear
MY personal view of these types of post, whether they are from SW,
Rodney, ME, etc. is, no big deal. The people that post all contribute
in other ways and if they have an item that they sell and want to let
us know about it or a special offer that they have, let 'em. It's not
like I have to do anything but ignore the post if I don't like it. I am
always glad to hear about a new item or specials on products that are
FISHING related. How are these post different than an angler posting a
"product review"? IF you think these reviews are not influenced, I've
got a bridge for sale........
Another personal view that I have is, I feel it is much worse to
use vulgarity (especially in this group because I know of a couple of
18 yr old boys that lurk) than it is to post on topic, fishing related
product announcements. My thoughts are, when a persons starts with name
calling/vulgarity, the intelligent conversation has ended and the rest
is garbage. I have a motto that I try to stick to: "Never argue with an
idiot because he'll only drag you down to his level and beat you with
experience".
I'm amazed that the anti-Advertisement posters use the 'waste of
bandwidth' argument to backup their point, all the while, wasting
hundred's of times the bandwidth to make the point.
My point is, IF you don't like Rodney/Joe H./Duane/etc., don't
click on their posts or killfile them. Also, IF you must use vulgarity,
go to a new group that accepts this in their charter.
Also, IS it really important to point out someones
gramatical/spelling errors?
