Wish I'd thought of it ! You want to vent ?

I've been periodically reading other fishing BB's in Oregon, Washington, and B.C. and our BB is without a doubt the most civil. Perhaps the most informative too. That's great. And it's not a big deal if we have occassional heated debates as has been the case. Mostly healthy and interesting, with a few exceptions. I figure that since this has become the expected demeanor here that many of you have held in some bitter feelings that you would just like to let fly! VENT. I found a great new site for this. Check this one out. www.pissandmoan.com Seriously, it's there. They are fairly new and are just getting up their forums to post on. They have site sections for every aspect of human life and about every other thing imaginable that you could possibly want to blast off about to the world. When you feel a heavy flame coming on, rather than let it all out here, instead post briefly what your beef is about on our BB and tell the pertinent fishers to go access this new site to catch your fire. ... I wish I'd thought of it. I think it will be a big winner. I have a few things to get off of my chest so I will be ******* and moaning away on there occassionally . Have at it. I got it bookmarked . - RT

Or..... you can change your whole attitude, and look at the bright side of things. Be thankful for what you have and take the things that bother you quietly to your Creator! What a concept! Wish I woulda thought of that!
Here is another great site where I will be praising and thanking along with the other half of society. http://praise.com/index.html
I don't know, but spreading doom and gloom and complaints just doesn't seem like much fun. Ever notice if you are nice to someone, it is catching, and they are nice too? Like a chain reaction? Yet if you are ******* and moaning, then everyone else starts ******* and moaning too? (Ich.. I hate the p word!)
I'm stayin away from there! I could catch it way too easy!
But, if you must vent, yes... please go there!

Jen, good words of wisdom to live by. But I think having both type sites serve their purposes. The PnM site is a good place to throw away the garbage, so-to-speak. And I know it will be both a serious and lighthearted site to go vent away. And you missed one of my points, that it will be a better alternative for Ifish members to take a flaming 'getting nowhere' argument to, leaving a little more serenity here. .... Besides, I have some flames to dump on the PnM outside of fishing debates.

Ifish is a nice "home" BB. I've been off and away on the hunting BBs this past month or two. The people there are generally ruthless. Its a game of attack the other guy, no matter what his opinion. "IDIOT" is the most frequent response...and they're not even talking politics.

You are a class act, crew. Keep up the good work!

Thanks much for the nice comments HT. ....

?Mad cow disease? JJ, is that when I've very carefully rowed quietly and gently anchored above the best low clear fishing hole on the river and suddenly a group of cows walk right into the hole and stir it up while drinking and *******? MADCOWDISEASE! Geez I hate that! I'm going over to pissandmoan.com right now and moan about those dam ******* cows. Or visa versa?

...One time Chris and I used a canoe to drift the river while it was absolutely low and gin clear because we knew there were fish in the river. We got down to Hank's property and banked the canoe, after I rolled out of it on my side into about a foot of water . The big deep hole on the corner after the hard left turn had fish so we actually crawled up to it on our hand and knees with poles in the other hand. After all that a group of cows on the southeast side property started to saunter over toward the hole . We were on the same side about 40 feet above where the cows were headed. I said watch this, and I let out real scary cat hisses, because I thought barking might spook the fish (silly me). Chris was very impressed with my hissing but it didn't stop the cows from ******* ... right in a couple feet of water on the edge of the best part of the hole. Fish don't bite well after seeing that right next to them. I don't either. That was when I contracted mad cow disease. Anti-biotics useless. The only thing 2 things I have that might cure this affliction, except fences maybe, is my new cougar screaming growl or ferocious spine tingling wolverine growling I've been practicing. I just hope for the cows sake I don't ever have to use them! - RT

A while ago that site name, or one like it, was up for bid and it went for some unheard of amount, $175,000 or more.

Well I think RT and Jennie have placed some good subjects on this board and as of late the topics have really pulled the members of this board together. I for one am happy to see the unity of the members.

Good job!

Thanks Shannon. I am also pleased with how many quality contributing members we have now. This has become a unique and special situation here; for all of our fishing betterment, and entertainment too. - RT
