Firstly I'd like to commend Steve and Anth for keeping it with decorum and for Anth for showing a rally of support :a_goodjob: . Especially to Steve, as I know it took some courage to explain the goings on, well done :thumbsup:
Also to you too rb, I have commended you in the past too for keeping it real with your responses, so well done also :thumbsup:
Yes, I share Anth's comments. Steve you are a top bloke , , , , I'm not trying to eliminate members, I just won't stand for unsavoury behaviour , , , , so hopefully members like Jedgpz don't leave (which is regrettable and hopefully he returns)
Also yes, I do have a pattern of behaviour of digging up quotes. That's from my Officer days and it's called , , , , evidence. The burden of proof lays with me and not to make unsubstantiated claims or statements.
On aggressive posts and who those people are, what they do and why it can be extremely annoying. Yes, I have seen some, been the recipient of some and I'm sure there are many many that I have not witnessed or am aware of. On step at a time.
My Father raised me to not start a fight BUT never to walk away from one either, even if it is to help someone else and by golly by jingo (well, the Greek equivalent) to definitely see it through. All those that you mentioned Steve hopefully never start anything but rest assured, Bugatti Underpantsman is going to be there to greet them

I don't know a lot about "these" people, correct , , , , but again from my Officer days, I do know a little about human behaviour.
I am an irrelevant South Australian on a Victorian Fishing Forum. But the first thing that hit me here was the level of tension and agro , , , , and outside of comments, complaints and complacency, some things were being done by members to kerb it but were struggling to make positive movement forward. So I thought to help out.
I have, as my post history would show, from day one, stood up and have been vocal against unsavoury behaviour AND commended members that have done the same AND encouraged other members to do the same.
Gentlemen, I feel positive development has been had today. Few Victories are achieved without battles on the way.
