So no casual BSing amongst friends, no friendly jabs, private jokes, or any attempts at humor. Just business related to helping each other find and catch fish, kill deer&turkeys, fix their boats....and that sort of thing. Basically no expressing of emotion, no griping about wake boats, ocean liners, holding fish out of the water, 4-stroke outboards, bowfishers, giggers, or litterers.
And if someone DOES complain about something or someone, and you feel compelled to defend the organization, defendant, or the position..... just DON'T, and quietly exit the room immediately.
You're not sitting streamside amongst friends anymore.....you are in a courtroom, either observing or serving jury duty.
Boy oh boy, guys are gonna break their fingers trying to get in here to check things out daily, ain't they? π
Sounds like a recipe for ghosting the place. But ok π
