This forum has to go!

[honkytonker26]

This forum is the worst idea... it just brings the worst out in people. Might as well have a XXX forum on here too. I bet the veiw numbers would sky rocket, but it has no business on the Chattanooga fishing forum.
I used to spread the word about this cool forum where people help people try and become better fishermen. Now I don't want to tell someone to come here cause they'll see all this BS. It's worse than a GD beauty shop.
I wonder why DHaun don't post anymore? I bet this ain't the idea he had when he started this awesome resource.
This forum is making me think less of people I used to have a lot of respect for.
How much fun is that going to be next time we have a CFF cookout and all the republicans are on one side and the democrats are on the other.
This forum has to go!

This forum brings out the fact that other sportsman's forums do. Fishermen and hunters are overwhelmingly conservative in their thinking.

I wonder if the ones that want this forum gone would feel the same way if the overwhelming majority of participants were liberal? It is doubtful to me.

Just because someone has a different political view than I do does not make me hate them and not want to associate with them. I would cook up a mess of BBQ and fish for anyone with no ill feelings toward them at all.

If a person is not big enough to look past another's political views then that person is the one with the problem. JMHO

this started out to be about fishing(chattanooga fishing forum) now it might as well be about washington.it has got to be about everthing but fishing.

Reports and the other areas of the forum have actually increased. I've seen some of the best reports made on this forum within the last few weeks

If we were to let everything we don't like in life affect us in this manner...why live? I don't too much care for the new area either but it has made me a bit more aware of issues and what's going on around us.

Grain of salt....

I read some of the posts on this forum in the beginning and didn't like what I saw. As it continues, it gets worse. One thing that it shows is what is really inside people. I love reading and learning about fishing and appreciate everyone that has contributed to my enjoyment. I have so enjoyed the fishing forum and learned so much from the giving people that post there. I don't want to know how opinionated, entolerant, biased, bull headed, and just mean people can be. Kill this and let us forget about what we have read. If I have offended anyone, I apologize. Just my thoughts.

I would love to share a boat with everyone of the democrats on here and I am a pretty staunch conservative. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and now everyone can voice it (within reason) on this forum. To me it looks like the only ones complaining are some of the most active users... If the political and religious forum isn't the one for you then don't open it.

Yep, once Dhaun left this thing spiraled down the toilet bowl. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Murdock]

Last thing I will say about this.... If you want a good representation of where this has taken us, look at the thread about Kennedy. How did we get from throwing a spinner bait to this?

 

[dragfish]

In my mind, It' already gone! Didn't like the idea in the first place and it's a rare situation that I ever read it.

I am like Craig on this. If all you come to the CFF for is the fishing part then why open up the political/religious forum. Nobody is forcing anybody to come in here to this "toilet bowl"

First time I have read a thread in this forum in two weeks........just let it go guys. Have a little will power.

Well, thats putting the blame on two of your friends isnt it? </p>

CFF OUT GREW its self. Its just like any other sportsman's forum out there. Self control over your actions and what you say make the "man" we become. There's always been a ton of stuff myself and others haven't agreed with or about....but I never let it ruin the site for me. I focus on the good things here. And there are PLENTY of those that over weigh the other. </p>

Is there toilet worthy subjects...in my opinion, Yes...does it ruin CFF for me...No. Its makes us who we are. Bottom line..I'd fish all day with anyone that I agree or disagree with. </p>

I agree. When you open this forum and make a post, it shows up at the top of new posts, which is where many people look upon logging on. So by protesting in this forum you are actually attracting people.

This forum has to go!

As much as I like a good debate, I have to agree. Some people can't "argue" without being uncivilized. I have seen politics and religion destroy several fishing boards.

 

[SpurHunter]

Look folks, this issue has been debated and the decision has been made to leave the forum on here. I am not sure why it is so hard for some to ignore this forum, but please refrain from these continued calls to kill it. If you have issues with it, please contact FirstLight directly with your complaints. </p>

Furthermore, by entering this portion of CFF, and then posting in the Political forum, you effectivly discredit yourselves with calls to kill it. This forum is for disscussing and debating Political and or Religious issues, NOT for debating whether or not this portion should or should not be here. </p>

Would you care to name these boards? Maybe provide some links.

Isn't discussion on inclusion or removal political in nature? Besides if Firstlight had issue with this thread, wouldn't they close/remove the thread? or did you in some fashion you get deputized as mod, to make decisions for firstlight? emoPoke

I can just see children reading these posts and they do read them, they believe everything that they read. Little Joey or little Mary reading this and their little minds soaking it up, they are not taught this in schools or at sunday school, they go to momma or daddy and have a puzzled look on their faces, they say that this is not what our teacher says but they will believe it because daddy or whomever said so. They are taught to love everyone but then they read what is on here. Keep poisening their minds with your hate and as the bible says "You reap what you sow".</p>

Jim Jones and Charles Manson believed in what they were doing too, they were right and everyone else was wrong in their minds. I still cannot believe 800 people chose to drink poisoned kool aid just because someone told them to but it happened</p>

Lord forbid we let them watch TV or walk in a mall now-a-days either Doc.

I do agree with you though.
