Dude,

Sorry I was just kidding...winter craziness has set in.

Ignore Duke - he's a cantankerous PIA anyway

Seriously (seriously, ignore Duke) its one of the disadvantages of being online and not having a face to face with someone is that it gets harder to tell when someone is breaking stones. And while I don't want to make an excuse for it this is also winter

Flip side of the coin, some new people jump in and want to go from Noob to Sharpie in 20 posts per day and ask, and even demand people give up their best info to people they have never met...

Its a balance thing... In the end, probably good to not to get too upset about it as it is just the Internet. It is a tool (for tools ) that will help you, let you meet similar minded folk ()lot of that goes on here), and it is one of those places where you will get out what you put in...

This site is much more friendly than the largest site. There are many sites out there and you are correct, some people just aren't friendly like on the shoreline. Don't let those arragant people turn you away.

Remember they want the whole shoreline to themselves, don't give in it's a free country and people talk tough on the internet.

Yer on big guy, but Boat Fish Don't Count, so now whatchagonna do? But seriously (a word I have tough time using with you nyuk-nyuk, wink-wink, snicker-snicker) I release 99.9% of my fish because I'm not dragging most fish a mile back to where I parked and nothing personal, while I may keep a rare fish for a tourney I'm not killing a fish for a side bet to Hooters. Non Fish Catching Ass or Not

Speaking of Noon to Sharpie in 20 questions per day - what's up S.S ? Told you it would not work but on your own, you found a way to truly enjoy it

I felt the exact same way when I started looking here. I eventually came to the conclusion though that most people here are ok and a lot are really nice and helpful. My rule is that once someone says something rude or uncalled for I just ignore that person and move on; no rebuttal or ongoing arguement I just ignore it. All the online fishing sites seem to have a few jerks who wanna tell you how amazing they are and why you're too stupid to live (the big boating site comes to mind) so I think you just have to ignore those to get the most out of the site. There's a lot of good info here so it's worth having to deal with a few bad apples.
