Texas Threads & Bashing
 

We need to put a stop to posting threads that appear to bash Texas and Texans. I know when I read a post on 2cool about "coona**" it gets my blood boiling. We have several great Texas members on this site and my family and I have met some great people in Texas. If we really want to grow our site, do we really want to all attack a city within 2 hours of the LA border that happens to have over 6,000,000 people? It's just not good for the site and it's unnecessary. Additionally Texans have had a great impact on Southwest Louisiana and that is not debatable. Any further "look at these Texans" type threads will be deleted and you may also receive an infraction. The exception to this is only for the gill net.

Lastly, last night there were two threads that got way out of hand regarding members bashing other members and bashing in general. Honestly several people could have been banned last night but because we (the mods) were away from our computers no infractions are being handed out at this time but they will in the future. We have a gill net section for anyone that wants to have an "internet fight", use it and keep the open forums clean.

Unfortunately several of our threads with useful information end up in the gill net because people take over the threads with their own agenda and destroy any sort of intelligent conversation that was taking place. Again, save if for the gill net.

Simply deleting post and not giving infractions to match the deletion is getting old and not getting us anywhere.

I have no dog in this, but I agree 100%. The site is really going places, keep up the good work

That is what makes this site great!!!!!...... I mean....no more sheephead or gaftop post???? That sucks!!!

I have kept Sheephead and drum before although not lately and I was born in Louisiana so whats the deal with that?

Post your sheephead and gaftop post in the gillnet where the type of responses you are looking for are acceptable.

I had a buddy in Hammond that wanted to limit on drum on every trip that we were on together.

It is not good for our site if people get the impression that Texans are not welcome here becuase that is not the case.

im guessin this is because of my thread about .yup, texas aint the only ones.... ..i dont think that dogging texas though

:(

No this is not just about your thread. You did not intend to start a Texas only catches gaftop debate.

While I agree 100% with what you are saying, this could have been said in less than a handful of pm's. I can read a title and tell who the op was a lot of the time. I believe in being proud of where you live and the lifestyle/customs associated with it but, much of what you are touching on here is no more than foolish pride and childish mentality.

As said by another, thanks for the hard work you've put in. It is really starting to show!

:rolleyes: Have to Casey...its the right time for this one......

They brought me into the state to raise gpa and act scores. Let em bash us ;)

:cry::cry::cry:

i took grandson to galveston on vacation and would of gave 1k to even catch a hardhead or sheep head it is fishing and from the famous words of my grandfather if it has two eyes and bite on my hook its mine.plus texas has awsome deer hunting.and thanks casey for bringing salty to the next level.

Did you come from Cuba originally???

nothing wrong with someone wanting to catch sheeps. if thats what they like to do who is anyone on here to judge? just like all the northern states think low of us because of our ways which we think are perfectly normal. if making fun of others (when they cant even defend themselves) is fun then you need a check yourself.

My outlook is if you cant handle the heat.......(you know the rest of the story)

Ok you got me on that one.

That's just it, they do get out of the kitchen which costs us members and people that could have been valuable to the site.

So what's your plan?
