BASS FISHERMAN?

I have a couple questions for you if :-\' dont mind.

Q#1) the owner of this site has a limited amount of megabite he can use. If he goes over them he might have to upgrade to a larger server. So in other words that yall mite be ablle tooo understooannd, stop using so many faces.  ??? ??? ??? ??? :-[ ::) :o :) :D
I'll privately let someone know if I have a problem like this with something. I'll publicly post if I need help from a lot of members - djk.


Q#2) How can you actually think anyone on this site will ever take you seriously if you constantly talk like a bumbling bufoon?(c-mon dude I can see if you are joking once in a while but over 100 posts of yall talkeen lik dees)? Going a little far? I think so.
Different strokes for differentl folks. I think we've posted before on here that we have to be tolerant and accept that some people are different and want different things. I have had a NUMBER of people at the shows approach me and say they enjoy and/or think BASS FISHERMAN is funny. Not everyone will, but I've had more people say they like having him/her around then who don't - djk.


Q#3) Could someone be so bad at grammar that they actually talk and spell this way and think it is legitimate? ( I dont think so) If you can read enough to type then you would find out really quick that even second graders can spell and talk better than you.
Pretty obvious he/she spends a good deal of time doing this on purpose. Doesn't seem like a wise use of time to chide him/her on grammar that is not bad due to lack of smarts, but due to goofiness or eccentricity or maybe too much time without sunscreen - I don't know, but I do know from rumor this person can speak 'normal?' like the rest of us - djk.


Q#4) DELETED - To me, I have to say this was just rude and mean - much less desired to me on my forum than someone who is a little silly like BASS FISHERMAN - djk.


Q#5) Thanks for the money you will give me this bass season if you fish tournaments. I guess thattenne there whasn't a qrrstienne attall ehh?
Poor grammar and spelling bad do not necessarily have any bearing on tournament fishing ability - but since BASS FISHERMAN is doing it on purpose - you may end up unpleasantly surprised after making such a statement - djk.

I will go ahead and apoligise ahead of time if i am mistaken with any of the above postings. But I don't really think I am out of line, and qustion five ;) thanks for filling my wallet buddy boy.

The guys are all entitled to their opinion on the way bassfisherman talks.  I believe it gets annoying, but that is me.  I have mentioned it to Dan and he explained his position very well, to which I agree.  As long as he is not offending anyone, I simply will ignore his posts.  Annoying, yes.  Enough to pee me off, no.  I would actually like to meet the guy and I'm sure he doesn't talk like that in person.  Not unless he knows you don't like it. ;D

I see nothing wrong with the way Bass Fisherman talks..Kinda reminds me of the time I spent in the south.

Smily faces take up very little space.....Unlike pictures..etc...If we have enough room on this site to talk about the NCAA and brittney spears bad haircut then I am sure there is space for Bass Fisherman.

The Bottom Line on this for me is if you were serious bucket mouth, and not just trying to stir up something, you would have PM'd him and not called him out on a public forum like this.

This site if for entertainment and bringing together a group of people that share a common interest...Let's not take ourselves to serious..Dan has done a great job with this site and I have gotten a ton of information off of here in the last few months.

BigSmallie

I have to admit.......he had me going for awhile and it was annoying.  ???   But it appears that several people know who this "Bassfisherman" is....and it seems to me that he is the "joker" type and will milk this until the rest of us figure out who he is!  LMAO!!   :D :D :D :D

I gots to git to sum of yer ternaments Bass Fisherman so ins I cans mets u!!  ;)   LOL!!

You got me.......I have no idea who you are....but I got a practical joking buddy JUST LIKE YOU! LMAO!!

BS  ;)

Ya now that I think about it that must be the case Bass Fisherman must be one of their buddies just messing around. maybe bass fisherman is really Kim Stricker or KVD lol?
FISH HARD!!!

bosshawg

 I always look for his posts first, they're quite humorous and I appreciate the effort put into them. I wish he would post more often. I learned a long time ago that there's a lot of folks that just can't deal with anything they don't consider normal.  :-[
BASS FISHERMAN'S posts are part of what makes this site interesting. Should we also delete posts about methods or locations that don't interest all of the members? ???
I guess the thing that I like the most about his posts is how much they bother some of you. I just can't figure out why something so trivial could bother you so much. :o
Good for him.
        ;D
Look past what they want you to see.

I imagine it will too.  So in the mean time I'll weigh in.

I dont know the guy, got nothing against him personally because I dont know him.

I figured he's joking and enjoying himself, which is fine.

That being said, I choose to not read any of his posts.  It's annoying and sometimes frustrating to read purposefully mispelled words in chat and forums.  So I choose not to.

You can choose not to as well.

As long as Dan's ok with it and he isnt breaking any rules, there isnt anything you can do but ignore it.  Again, I choose to do that.

I do think that a couple of posts like that would be humorous but doing it consistently on the forums is equally as rude as one of us calling him out about it on the forums.  In which case, who do you reprimand?  The person calling him out or him?

Making the leap from poor typer or bad joker to a poor fisherman who's going to donate money to you and personally attacking him is completely wrong and equally as misguided.

In short,  I think your post is out of line on several levels.  

I'm sure this will get deleted before Dan even gets to my post, but I got to temporarily speak my mind!  ;D

Looks like some of us could use some open water. Its all in good fun and we shouldnt read anymore into it than that. If we take things to serious we will all go crazy. ;D

GO BASS FISHERMAN GO
When you are in any contest you should work as if there whereto the very last minute a chance to loose it.

C'mon - I'm disappointed. I will NOT kick off someone or tell them to change just because they choose to be different as long as they are following the rules. I've been busy at the show and heard about this from a couple members. I would have gotten to it quicker, but I normally expect (and luckily get) much better behavior and civility here - you all normally make it easy on me for the most part so the little bit of time I had available at night, I used to get some business done to keep this site going, and to clean up a much uglier mess on lsc.net.

I'd have to kick off more people than you'd imagine if I kicked off everyone someone thinks I should - some of you might be in for a shocking surprise.

BASS FISHERMAN is harmless to anyone who doesn't want to read the posts and I have now had a good number of people who have made it a point to tell me they like the posts - more than those who don't. And this started long before this thread so it was not just a defensive thing, but a true demonstration of how different people enjoy different things - thank God.

I'm disappointed if someone truly thinks this site will go down the toilet just because of some posts by an eccentric or silly-sally, and will be more than a little surprised if that is all it takes to get anyone to quit, or if that is all it takes to 'undo' all the truly helpful and friendly posts on here?!? If I even remotely thought things could come crashing down so easy, I'd just shut down and delete the whole web site right now.

If you don't like someone's posts, don't read them. I will never understand why people on Internet forums read posts they already know they won't like and then complain about them when they can choose to just not read them? I would think many of us already do not read every post in every board - I make different boards expressly because different people have different needs and expectations.

In the very wise words of my sainted Mother, "don't sweat the small stuff!" It is just not worth it to get so upset about someone who chooses to be goofy on purpose to be rude and/or intolerant.

Frankly, having posts on this forum that single members out because they choose to be different will cost me (us) more potential new members by far than having a few eccentrics or crazy uncles around - it's the kind of thing that scares off a lot of people because we are ALL different to some degree and individuals in our own minds. It truly bothers me to know that many people do not participate because they are afraid of how other's will percieve or treat them. That should not be the case.

Different in a basically harmless way is not the same as negative, argumentative and just posting to stir up trouble. I do not want those kinds of posts on here repeatedly from anyone. This forum is for the fun exchange of ideas and information in a friendly and NONTHREATENING manner and for my ulterior motives to get as many anglers as possible involved for so many reasons that are exponentially more important than a few silly posts by anyone.

We anglers have to be able to see – to be able to learn that if we ever want to be in the driver's seat on critical issue verses just being unseeing, unknowing passengers in the back of the bus of life. Personally, I really do want to leave this world a better place than I 'found' it. I've been told I'm naive or that I'm wasting my time pushing at windmills so many times I can't begin to guess how many, but I won't stop trying anyway. I just will never understand things like rudeness, prejudice, intolerance, selfishness and repeated negativity. People, we all can make the choice. What's it going to be?

Thanks to those of you who get it – and thanks to any of you who choose to try to make the world a better place too.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
