Forum Postings ~ Political Or Otherwise

[Danoinark]

I have been editing out all of the disrespectful candidates names on this forum for the last time.

Any more edits required and I will delete the entire posts. I have made this clear before on my watch.

Say what you want with reasonable content but be respectful of anyones name. Obscene and obscene references are also being edited. If anyone is upset about this then I would suggest you complain to Phil. Thank you.

Dano and Phil,

Thanks for putting up with a very passionate election year and helping to keep all in line with the boundaries that have been set. Its all most over and then most of the hoopla will be done and over with.

I think that allowing a responsible exchange of opinions. Was a good thing and was well handled by the administration of this family oriented board. I know that the discussions amongst my family is never as well behaved when it comes to politics.

Thanks again

JJ

Thank you Dano and Phil. I really enjoy this forum and believe that it is no place to contest the pros and cons of any of the canidates for any office. If anyone wants to do that let them start their own site. DELETE DELETE DELETE

By the way Dano if the water ever goes down on the White give me a call.

I respectfully disagree. Almost every agency that oversees the water we all fish is controlled by an administration elected to office by the people of this great land. From the administration of the President (department of the interiors), the Govener (DNR and MDC) or even county governments (planning and zoning) all have a bearing on the freedoms we enjoy as outdoors people. Of particular interest to most outdoorsmen are gun rights.

While I certainly understand Mr. Allenbaugh point I disagree. The moderators have done an excellent job monitoring these posts and I venture to guess they are the most viewed on the forum at this time. Everyone has the right to vote for who they want and with that comes the need to educate themselves about the canidates. This being said everyone also has the freedom here to look at what they choose and become active in topics they feel are important. If politics is something that is not your cup of tea then no need to look at the posts. It will all be over soon and somebody on either side will be unhappy, but I don't think ozarkanglers forum will continue to be the place they direct their disappointment (unless a particular policy is at issue). I am sure this is considered rambling, but I feel the need to express my viewpoint.

I second that motion, the election affects all of what we do, a wrong decision could adversely affect us as outdoors persons.

Much like cable TV, you have a choice what you want to read on here. If it is an election topic with a clear heading like they all have been, don't open it and read it. I personally don't read alot of threads on here that are about waters that I don't fish or methods that I don't use. I really don't get offended when someone posts a thread about a river I don't fish or a method I don't use. I have been a member on here for a long time and have enjoyed every minute of it. Phil, Dano, and the other administrators do a great job. They spend alot of time and money to provide this avenue of communication that lets us share information on all aspects of life that we outdoors types need to preserve for the future.

I'd like to just have a fishing board. I'm certain there are politcal boards for discussion.

[taxidermist]

With all the other areas to post for fishing, whats the problem? Its fine to know what others think about people who will be in charge next year.

This is one area out of how many on this board????
