Ok - I made my point and you have made yours. I do fight on this site to achieve an idealistic goal in regards to the conversation that goes on here and I'm not about to deny it. You can call it disneyland, fairytale or any other name you can think of and it won't change my mind. I think some people really appreciate the way I moderate theboard and I think some people want to have things more fast and loose. Sounds like you're in the second category and so we have some disagreement there. Nothing is going to solve that problem since neither of us are going to budge on our opinions so discussing it any further is pointless.

A great follow up post on your part would be to show some new baits and do your best to keep the 'this is the best lure ever made' rhetoric to a minimum. Give us the facts and figures, the components, the quality, the paint, etc. If you want to show fish that were caught on the baits, that's great too. I have a strong suspicion that those things above are what sell lures, and whether you agree with the way I moderate or not, this forum is going to reach your target market better than just about anywhere else and at a cost of $0.

A bad follow up post would be any post from this account that someone just registered, tho I can't imagine who:

The way I see it, you have options
