Thanks for posting that. I personally don’t get offended on here and since I dish it out I better be able to take it in return. Same goes with myself and some of the people I cut up with a good bit about us actually knowing each other outside of the internet. I think therein lies the problem in most cases of people saying things they think are “ok” but might not be.
Thank you for your service by the way.

I was just about to say the same thing, so I will. PV, thank you for your service to our country. I appreciate it.

I for one will say what I am thinking and I am not shy about using my name. I try and treat everyone nice on here so when we meet at the oyster roast they don’t want to kill me.

Okay, I am inspired to change my login name to “CaptJason”… Will that meet your requirements? Heck, I have never met Cracker Larry, and somehow from the login name “skinneej” he was able to deduce that I work at or have worked at Microsoft at some point in my life and am a “software programmer”. He’s even been obsessed with it and has brought it up at least 3-4 times on a few posts. I was thinking about taking the “J” off so that I don’t reveal that much information about myself.
I appreciate the thanks, but I need to clarify. I am not in the armed services and never was. I work for the Government and was over there supporting our troops, and in some cases right beside them. Although many overlook the fact that Government civilians and private contractors do not face all of the same dangers our military men and women face over there, they are still pretty much putting their life on the line as well. Not one of the rockets or mortar shells lobbed over the fences had anyones name on it.
I was feel fortunate that I was able to spend 4 years over there helping save lives and the only real sacrifice I had to make was losing that time with my family and not being able to enjoy lifes everyday pleasures.
So if you feel you need to buy someone a cold one to show your thanks, do me a favor and make it a true hero. Pick someone in a branch of our armed services, a local fireman, police officer, or anyone else who commits a lifetime to protecting us and our country.
A bad day fishing is much better than a good day at work.
for new members or those who have never come to the members’ oyster roast in January, I encourage you to make some plans and come meet some of these snapperheads…Jan 25 at the Wappoo Shelter at James Island County Park, from 9:30AM - 4:00PM…there is a thread in the off topic forum, but it might be on the second, third, fourth page, etc…it will get bumped to the top here shortly…Fritz is even invited, though I don’t think he’s made it to one yet…

The very fact that you felt it necessary to clarify reveals your character and integrity. Again, thank you sincerely for your service to our country. I guess not all government employees are so bad…

yep, good dude and just as much as a smarta$$ in person as he is on here. Every time we pass on the water its usually something like “dabo sucks” followed by “whatever troll” or “cock lover”.
I don’t post here much and am starting to read even less. No way would I advertise here either. I think the site is way under-moderated and pretty low-classed at the moment. Lots of rude, childish stuff going on.
PLENTY of sites out there where people don’t/can’t use their real names that are well moderated. Many folks who should have either been put on probation or banned outright a long time ago. Wish the site owner would pull in 2-4 trusted people to act as mods (big job, so no need to go it alone), give them final authority, and let the ban-hammers fall. All we need to do is clearly state the rules and make people follow them. The site would get cleaned up, and all the hate would quickly disappear (at least from the posts). I think immature/childish acts, like telling people to f-off, are worthy of getting immediately dumped off the site.
I’ve recently found the ignore feature on here…works well…

I just like pizzing off the Clemzzzon fans in the sports forum. I never make it a personal attack but have had many thrown my way. Im a 6ft 3in 230lb man. I can handle words all day. I find it fun to get somebody so aggravated at me (for talking rivalry trash) that it turns into a personal attack. It does not hurt my feelings but makes me laugh. Keep it coming !

Yeah, let’s make it a complete stick in the mud. You fail to realize that a good many posters on here have been around quite a while and though it seems they are being assholes, they are really just giving people they are familiar with a hard time in good fun. It’s people who lack the ability for a sense of humor that get bent out of shape and take offense to it.
My advice to those of you that have thin skins like that is to A) pull the stick out of your rectum and loosen up, B) search how to use the ignore function or C) stay on those other tame sites so your feeling don’t get bruised.
Or you could sign up on Ducks and find out what a real man type forum can be like.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I’ve been hearing for 15 years now how this site is going to lose all of its members… Florida sportsman has a heavily moderated site. Nothing but a bunch of dumbasses left bragging about filling up a bucket with 12" blackfins! Not a morsel of useful information on that site unless you just started fishing the day before.

What does being 6’-3" and 230 have to do with handling words all day?

Maybe I was unclear; what I meant to say was he’s a total DB.
