Hi DonO Yes, I am aware of that fact but I'm pissed off for the following reason: 1) This thread was started by Jimi the Desert Eagle urging us to pass on to as many people as possible. 2) Scott Bearden was the first to respond 3) Jeff Frye was next. 4) I was the fourth to respond with nothing rude or classed as a flame at all. 5) Scott Bearden posted another message regarding this. 6) Jimmy D (the Moderator?) responded "Now, Now, GANG! Enough politics. OK !" BUT he replied with a copy of my message instead of a general message to everybody. 7) Really P'oed I responded "This is fishing politics including fly fishing!" It was the way the moderator handled this that pissed me off. 8) I always say it like it is! Neville (Nev) Gosling Greater Vancouver, B.C. Canada

Obama Now Wants to Ban Sports Fishing, Make Recreational Fishing a Crime - Update: Glenn Beck Video on Gov't's US Water Grab Efforts « Frugal Café Blog Zone Neville, The problem with political discussions, even ones related to flyfishing, is that people are passionate about their views, are threatened by opposing views, and tend to get un-civil in making statements of facts, opinions, and views of others. Mis-information abounds as a political tactic- it's always been called propaganda in my experience. This is why political discussions were banned by Byard- not so much for content, but for the fact that it leads to flaming and insults. A civil (unemotional) discussion to discern the REAL facts of this legislation would be helpful to all of us, but it seems partisan politics has brought such matters beyond a polite VFB civil discussion, as evidenced. I would like to know, but not at the expense of the camaraderie here. It's a REAL SHAME, too. Because wih the resouces we have here, and for what we have at stake, we could research all avenues apart from the partisan BS and find out what the real facts are.
