Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 It's ok to have an opinion. It's awesome as a matter of fact. But please present it in a way you look like a class act. Get all your facts straight. So it doesn't sound like hate. We can all be friends and eat some cake!!!!! Sorry. Just trying to be like Dr. Suess Roger (Some Old Guy THE POACHER of eggs) Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource!

eddylives 99 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 Yes Roger I agree The recent attack on yourself while amusing to most is still just that.... An attack on you personally that is quite slanderous and belittling. As far as I am concerned any person that conducts themselves in such a manner should be given one chance to correct their actions and behaviour or receive a ban. But also have the thread placed in a read only section so others can see the results of their actions and witness the results of such activity on this site. The outdoor life we enjoy with hunting and fishing is our choice and others do not have the right to condemn us for it.

oyo 126 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 Personally, I would consider taking all his posts to either the police as harassment or a lawyer as libel. If either of those parties see a case, it would be easy to request Tailouts IP and customer info from his ISP and serve him with a cease and desist letter or a letter threatening court action if he continues to publically disparage your character. The internet does not give you the right to make up false statements and accusations and it is relatively easy to identify the person behind a username.

Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 You never see this kind of behavior on other fishing forums like Walleye Central. Never! I assume when someone attacks the forum, the intent of the forum, a member or an owner of the forum the post is "immediately taken down" by a moderator. I don't know what happens to the poster, most likely banned. Even though opinions are welcome the posts attacked the forum and Roger himself, it's "not the first time" by this member and it's clearly against the forum rules of conduct. Pretty much a worse case scenario and because it was allowed to be read created a hoard of angry bees protecting the hive, and always will. This site and it's current members are always trying to attract new members. Having them read that bs drama doesn't help with first impressions.

James01 223 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 I think people are smart enough to see posts, like the one people are referring to, for what they are... for what it is worth, I haven't posted on this site in a while and it is that idiotic thread that has me posting. Maybe Roger should thank him for increasing activity of the site, and bringing members together.

Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 James, I just laughed at the post. And you are correct! Even though he "cut me down" so to speak I see it as entertainment! I banned people before and some come and go. I just left it there for pure entertainment value! Yes Bobber! You don't see that on WC anymore but it used to be there. As with other forums, they are getting used less as face book and other social media sites have taken over the internet. Oyo, I have his IP logged. But as I said I ain't taking it personally. I think it's kind of funny. Just like watching someone trying to take a nut off by turning it right...... Or kinda like this guy: Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource!
