Not only do I not approve of the profanity, name calling and really the general Jest of any verbal altercations ... Because all this does is interrupts the continuity of the FTI Family and membership and our objective.... NO I DON'T APPROVE !
Now FishingTN.com has been a community service for 16 years and what I have learned is, periodically the interruptions stick their nasty heads , either an issue like was just locked. or many other issues. My Staff and I have seen many over the years . For instance, Catch and Release or mentioning a sweet honey hole, etc. And as usual on both sides of the issue there are pros and cons ...
I am not going to take sides in any issue if the subject has merit and creates food for thought. But I will control the way it is being presented .. And if it gets out of hand I will stop it.
As far as a Set rule or Law about profanity and if used you are automatically barred. Well that is not going to happen ... Anyone can have a bad day at the office. Or maybe to many after dinner adult beverages, after a bad day at the office. There are to many laws, rules and government control in our daily lives now. I am not going to be a hypocrite and add more. Besides I would be foolish to add a law set in FTI concrete ... That I may even get barred..
Walt, I appreciate your thoughts ... I am going to go back and edit some of the posts to bring us back to "Family oriented status" .. Thanks again<'TK><

Well TK, I appreciate your thoughts too. But you have to understand that if my grandson takes home a 'new word' (like an F-bomb) to his mommy, this here Peepaw is in some deep trouble! LOL
My simple fix is he won't be getting on this site anymore, unless I monitor it first. He really would've loved those great walleye photos!
I attended the FTI picnic this summer. Met some great folks there too. I hope everyone gets cooled back down so we can get on with comparing some fish notes again. Speaking of, I was down by the 109 bridge today and OH's water looks pretty decent despite the rain. Now go catch 'em and save them F-bombs for when a big OH rockfish breaks your line
