Honestly, because you are making it a big deal to not put it. That's what it boils down to. If people know what area you are in, people are more likely to help you out, and invite you to fish with them. Friends are easy to make around here if you are friendly in return.

Ok. That's your choice and I respect that. Now why make a big deal out of nothing?

Yes I'll be glad to.
I hope I can make sense and not look like I am just rambling.
My reply was a reaction to your post and I do not speak for anyone else on here, so if what I write offends you, it will be me and not "The Catfish Section"
This is already taking more time than I want to spend on this so I'll be direct.
When I see statements like--

"Cause that just shows your intelligence level. Anyways, the question stands."
"Why don't you put your social security number down?"
After these I see your past post and you seem to post in the bass section a lot.
Not sure why but along with some very encouraging folks in that section, there just seems to a lot that answer like you do.

I just don't like it, but that's Ok.

You have a right to say it and I have a right to not like it.

This a very welcoming section, but some folks are just harder to warm up to.
Maybe its me, maybe it you, doesn't matter anymore.
I'm done here with this.
I hope you get a satisfactory answer to your original question.

Yes, but let me try to explain where I'm coming from. Someone on the internet asks your location. Then asks you to go fishing with them. Next thing you know you are getting murdered by some pedophile. All because you put your location. I might sound like I'm getting an atitude or being rude, but I'm really not. That's the bad thing about non-verbal communication. So if anyone on here is offended or what ever else you are then I'm sorry for making a big deal out of nothing

Denton.....? I knew it!

Ok, well I said " that just shows your intelligence level" because, I didn't want answers like "the big ones do". I was asking a serious question and not trying to be a pain.
The second quotation I can't remember the exact context, but that phrase was more of a filler if you will. You know like something to say to break an awkward silence or what ever.
The third quote was, thinking back, uneccasary but I didn't think it mattered my location if I was asking a question like "what type of cat fights the hardest?" it might be just me, but I'd say that was a pretty general question that did not need a certain location

Lol what gave it away?

Catfishing in Denton sucks!

Never really tried any thing bigger than neighborhood ponds so I can't really say

I'm kidding, I wouldn't know. Thanks for the entertaining post!

Yup, I try to make as many friends every where I go!

My bad, Irving, TX!

Lol, no prob man haha. Just don't lose your location again

Hey kid. I would'nt have people thanking me for taking them fishing or know a bunch of these guys by name if I was the murderin type. I also would'nt represent a Tackle company or advertise for two very well known guides in North Texas. You're either hanging out in the wrong chat rooms or still live with your mother. Nevertheless to the catfishing section.

I'm 16. So I just happen to live with my parents lol

sucks for This Guy.

Tom is one of most knowledgeable catfishermen here.

It's like highschool.

if this were a high school then you just annoyed the smartest and nicest teacher in the school on your first day.

someone has been watching to much Investigation Discovery channel i think you will get the idea if anyone is in any way like that. some people here have been posting for years come on dude this is a fishing forum!
flat heads to me

In my experience, pound for pound, flatheads seem to fight hardest.

Depends on the fish id assume. Probably similar to the reaction different people have in some situations
