I guess I just imagined it all, silly me. Now bbass and jsv sound like they want to kick my A$$. What a joke that is! Just because some of you acted like jerks then and are acting jerks now when I call you on it doesn't really change anything. The link below just is the original Crackerfest "Fishing report" Check out all the responses from all the cffer's attending the event. So I guess they just forgot to take the 3 seconds to congratulate 2 boys and would just post something later on that evening. I guess the best part of the day was taking your money home with us. I guess I'm not surprised by the reaction. Also bbass, are my political views and posts holding up my latest HOF submission? hmmm It's been a couple of weeks now, just asking.

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and in other areas of their life, such as work or school. In particular, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, in the same category as histrionic, antisocial and borderline personality disorders. Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy.

Outcaster, just to put things in perspective regarding treatment at the ramp during functions. CFF #8 was my first tx i have fished. I had an unbelievable time and plan to fish more. Now, not every person there saw me as a first timer and came up to me to talk, but I don't see this as their fault, I see it as mine. It was completely within my power to go up and intriduce myself, and I did to a few people, and they were absolutley some of the most genuinely kind people. Oh, by the way, I wasn't wearing a GOP t-shirt nor did I have a McCain sticker on my car, so they weren't talking to me because of my political affiliations, they were talking to me becasue we shared something in common and they were obviously raised to respect others and to project kindness to all without unnecessarily pre-judging. For that I was greatful. And i will make sure to try to meet many more at CFF #9.

If you were treated so unfairly and had that conversation with your kids in the car afterwards, why did you post multiple times that y'all had such a great time?

I have been involved in the planning of charity events and can tell you that it is such a challenge and so exhausting that sometimes you don't realise that you haven't paid as much attention to one person as they feel they deserve. It is not by choice, simply by chance. It should not be made into a bigger deal than it is almost 5 months later.

This thread got completely hijacked. I think this Crackerfest stuff should be moved to a new thread titled Poor Outcaster.

Your right Fin, but there were at least 7 replies to the original post before Crakerfest got brought up, and at least 8 more since then and there has been no reply from the original poster. That's partly why this thread has changed topics

Thanks to all the members that work so hard to put the Crackerfest on for theenjoyment of the KIDS. </p>

Being raised in a broken home on welfare, I can tell you that if it wasn't for people like you, I would have never enjoyed or learned to fish. Many times I was picked up, taken to a lake, given bait and equipment to fish with, fed, and came home with a prize. Although I was very young at the time, I still have those memories and can still remember the people involved.</p>

I'm laying bare here because I don't want any of you to stop doing the Crackerfest for the kids because of the content on this thread. The good you do will outlive you.</p>

About the HOF, I can say that my best friend recently caught a quality fish and submitted it for HOF consideration about 3 weeks ago. It has not been entered yet. He is not on here pointing fingers. He knows an admin change is taking place. The only sticker on his rear window is a MARINES sticker. I think it's safe to say the delay is not due to political beliefs or branch of service.</p>

Thanks again guys and gals.</p>

Thanks for the back up hl&s... the conversion has left the HOF un-updated, and its nobody's specific fault... just something that hasn't caught up yet.

Ok guys, I think we have gotten way off track here. The thread has gone in several directions from the original post. Points have been made and its time to move on to new topics. JSV and crew that put on Crackerfest deserve respect and commendation for doing it, and it made it even harder this year due to economic problems and weather on top of that. Outcaster and his boys deserve recognition for winning it. I do think recognition was given, but Danny has a right to feel it wasn't enough, its his right to feel this way if he so chooses. I was not there due to another commitment, but I know most folks involved and its a stretch that any discriminated against anyone over politics during it.

Danny has the right to feel any way he pleases, but posting that feeling on an unrelated thread brought consequences as we have now seen. I have talked to Danny on the water several times, helped him weigh a huge cat his son caught, we have exchanged information via PM about conditions and tactics for catching fish and our political views never came up because we both love this sport. And for the record, I would not hesitate to do all of those things again.

Having said all this, the thread has now become a bash-fest and since replies to the original thread seem to have run its course, this thread will be frozen so al can move on to better things.

I ask that anyone participating in the Political discussions to remember to keep a cool head, and not get personal in nature. Debate and discussion is fine, but we have long passed it on this thread.

Note about HOF:
Due to delays in getting the admin access turned over, there have been none added in a month. We will get all those that qualify added when it gets finished, NONE were left out for any purpose whatsoever.

Thanks for your participation, Spur
