Public Apology To All Ifishers...............

[TundraIII]

Ya, what you said! I was sort of a bonehead this week too. I'm sure it happens periodically to lots a people on this board, so dont you be feeling lonely. :grin: . I think most of us has typed a reply or started a topic in anger or in an agitated state only to feel like a dope when the emotion passes. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img] :blush:

You are an upstanding guy for the post, but please keep posting we all accept your apology.... :grin: :grin: :grin:

[fishbait]

I did not read you posts so don't know what went on.

Everybody makes mistakes sometime [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

Not everybody takes responsibility for their actions

Takes a big man to admit he was wrong and apologize publicly [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Some awful big hearts in this community [img]graemlins/hearton.gif[/img]

Hey SKP...

Dude, you bring allot to the party here at I fish and I for one enjoy your posts very much so don't stop that...

Ask Pete & Jennie about me...I have stuck proverbial foot into mouth on more than 1 occasion and people who know me have seen me do this as well...

I will usually notice the mistakes of my ways and end up stepping up and handling like you have done here...

Hope to meet you some day because you really seem like a stand up guy and like I said, your posts are great so keep those up...

Tight lines to you my friend...

Sure Ifish is an online community, but it is like any other community in that it takes time to get to know individuals. In all honesty, I've only ever come across a few truly mean-spirited posts on Ifish and they have not been posted by SKP.

Dude,

Nothing to appologize for. You put out informative posts and ask questions some folks may be afraid to ask.

If people don't get your posts, even with the smilies for emphasis, bummer for them.

You can't please everyone all of the time and way too frequently people's fingers get flying before their brain kicks in. [img]graemlins/icon_argue.gif[/img]

Don't sweat the small stuff.

[Wreckless]

That took guts. [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

now lilnorthfork, HE's mean spirited. That guys so mean, when he came outta his momma, he made her cry! :grin:
Good job SKP. Takes a person of character to be a big man and try to make it all right.
You're welcome in my boat one day (but only one) :grin:
GBS (BS stands for?)

No need or reason for me SKP :smile:

Here is that warm and fuzzy, make everyone feel good, you were looking for yesterday and for that guy that said I'm a bitter old fart. (Nah, I happen to love this lady on the link below :grin: )

Have a good one, it's just a bulletin board.

TURN IT UP and CLICK HERE!

You're a better Man than I.

Have no idea about your offensive post, yet to see it.

I have seen positive and informative post from you though, so maybe it a comes out in the wash..??

Again, my apologies to The Kentucky Hog Hunter.

[Jennie@ifish]

I have no clue what you are talking about, nor what you did, but you are forgiven.

I think one thing you'll all learn about me, is that if you offend me, or make me upset, I tend to forget it about it, really quickly.

Some people have written to me 2 months after an ifish problem, and asked if I was still upset about our disagreement. I'd say 98 percent of the time I can't even remember what they wrote, nor what any problem was about. I am serious!!! It's a good part of middle age. :smile:

It has to be some pretty hefty back and fourth e mails to get me to remember. Let's not try it, OK?

:smile:

Thanks, SKP.

SKP,
We all have the opportunity to step on our <petunia> once in a while. If it was the post I'm thinking about you just gave us a chance to pull your chain. I don't see the need for an apology but appreciate you doing it.

[SKP]

I'm truly sorry for offending people on a post or two I made recently. I made my posts truly in a light hearted fashion, but unfortunately people still took it seriously, and I am very sorry.

I'm sorry to Getbent, Willametteriveroutlaw, ******, Jennie, Pete, and anyone else I just can't remember. I know these guys are great fishermen, and in no way did I want to offend.

Unfortunately, people can't see the smile on our faces, or our emotions when we type black and white. I've even taken fun posts personal myself, and should not have.

Ifish community please accept my apology, I am truly sorry.

Getbent, the biggest fish in my life was caught with a Get Bent spinner this fall, with the help of Marie's scents. Your spinners are in my tackle box. I did not loose a fish on get bent spinners this year, and your spinners are superior.

My posts from now on will be different, if I make any more at all.

I enjoy Ifish, and have learned many new tactics, and hopefully have given others new tactics.

I would also like ifishers to honestly write what is acceptable (in addition to the Acceptable Use Policy) and what is not acceptable in a post, so we all can go forward constructively, not backwards.

Sincerely,
Steve Preston
