The pot came looking for the kettle?
Jk.

He definitely earned it.

Touché!

Meh, it’s not like the guy was posting false information. No worse than the crud that Duckett was originally doing with the “we are the greatest thing ever” agenda that he was trying to cram down our throats. Both were overpowering took it to far, would have been nice if Big O would have revealed who/what he was.

Some disgruntled ex-FLW'er?

Paid agents posting on the forum should also be banned if this is the criteria: "Accounts like these are not individuals wanting to join our community - they are people who want to use us as a platform for their agenda."

Yea there is one ole boy on here that ever time somebody says anything about MLF he is quick to defend it . That gets some of his income from BPS

Lol you can call me by name since I don’t hide behind a handle.

Yea it is you with MLF and Johnnys money .

He hasn't been missed. There are other avenues to push that agenda if so chosen. Interesting that a mod would be getting communique specific to that. Hats off to all the mods of TFF/THF.

What did Big O say that so horribly offended everyone? I saw a good many of his posts and while he certainly had an agenda, I never saw anything that approached the relm of being offensive. Having an agenda seems like an odd reason to expel someone. I certainly could have missed something he said. Just curious.

I guess it’s like what Ol’ Jack said in the movie a few good men, people can’t handle the truth. Instead of disregarding his post, they had to fall for the Howard Stern syndrome and read them over & over.

Seems a little unfair to expel someone with an agenda, who was also being argued with by someone with an agenda. Room for both on here. We do not know if he was making any monetary gain by arguing his point or if he was just passionate. We do however know someone who was, or says he is. I am good with both debating the topic. Big O wasn't offensive, he was very well mannered and his discussions were very well thought out and relayed. JMO.

Big O wasn't banned for his views. He got a 2 week ban for breaking rule #5.

However, we do have a low tolerance for people who sign accounts solely to trash an individual or company. A few times a year, on both forums, we get some pissed off person signing up accounts to trash-talk some guide, outfitter, product or service. They usually hit 3 or 4 of the major fishing or hunting forums across the country doing the same thing. They tend to hang around a few weeks, then disappear never to be heard from again.

Big o hit the nerve and was very articulate in the manner he conducted himself. He never cussed and gave facts as he knew them. The truth now days is so hard to swallow so it’s easier to deflect and use half truth to make the point you want. It’s a shame for someone to be sensored because they didn’t have 20,000 posts. Like Big O always said see the shiny objects keep your eyes here, not over there where you need to be looking.
