It's tragic to see...
Yesterday a guy found the fly "Frammus" (Bob Petti) at the VFB page
and joked about its name on a Swedish fly-fishing forum (in the tying
department). In Swedish, this fly's name would mean something
concerning parts below a woman's waist... and what a discussion that
followed!!! In my opinion, it wasn't a rough joke as much as just
pointing out the linguistic part of it... but what a debate that
followed. In a little more than a day there have been more than 50
posts discussing feminism, insulting women and all that comes with it.
The actual fly has lost its focus a long time ago but the debate
continues... and is covering next to everything concerning the issue.
I've been sitting thinking "We should have had JD as a moderator here
too!". Already the second post (which wasn't really pointing out the
LINGUISTIC part of the fly's name) would have been too much for him.
