I have now joined this forum, nita forum and flydresser forum and the only issues I have picked up on are with members here. No mention of it is on any of the other forums and it seems that the members on both those forums have not got any issues here, at least it doesn't state that in any posts I have trawled through. As an outsider who has no history of the situation or any members it seems to me that some on here have issues and very big issues with the membership off those forums. It seems very silly that you should have these issues and so openly express them when the parties you have an issue with are not present or have a voice to reply.
Enjoy life and drink a latte.

thats good latte i hope you enjoy the forum,,i`ve had a look and its just not for me plain and simple

now here`s how i see things as they stand

1) you sign up to this forum pretty recently

2) you make no comments or mention of the contents on here

3) you ask about NITA & the flydressing forum

4) you seem more preoccupied with the promotion of the flydressing forum (which im sure is very good)

5) now you want to know how to "MULTI QUOTE" people

in my experience its not something you`d expect from a BRAND NEW MEMBER but there ya go...

so hopeful you wont mind me asking you,, "just what is your objective on here" ??

havent you found anything of interest yet on this forum ??

perhaps flydressing will make you their PR man once you`re established on the site as you are doing a very good job already

Thank you for the welcome Firey Brown. It is very much appreciated. Since you ask what is my objective, it is to enjoy the experience of the forum atmoshere, exchange and to learn about angling related issues. I never expected to walk into world war 3. I am simply telling it how I see it. I have no affiliation to anyone or anything. I simply joined and interacted, is that allowed? or do I need to be a member of an inner circle to have a point of view?

the reason people on here are allowed to express how they feel is because its called FREEDOM OF SPEACH,, if they choose to talk about issues then they are free to do so..

you may very well find that the reason you cant find some of the content on NITA is possibly that it has been deleted,,who knows ?? anyhow most of the guys just want to get on with fishing,tying, and whatever else they choose to discuss but on the odd occassion things like this may crop up and they are entitled to voice their opinion

what strikes me as "strange" to say the least is the very fact that you`re new here and to NITA (so you claim) and yet all you are concerned about is forum politics,,no input from you about fishing,tying,rods,flies etc etc that one would expect from a newbee after all it is a Fishing Forum...

if you want to enjoy and contribute to the forum feel free to do so if not you`re free to go elsewhwere

For the record I am not a newbie, no sir. I have over 30 years experience at this game.
I will remember that in the future to post about other topics before having an input into other subjects.
And you say this place is friendly, I think true colours have been shown today.

Fair enough latte if you`re here to talk about fishing issues great

im just back today from Lough Sheelin,,4 days of fishing pretty hard at times too,,

Friday was probably too good weather wise and i had 1 fish come to me right at the boat on a very slow drift,,my boat partner just watched in amazement as the trout made a last minute swipe for the fly,,i had him hooked for no more than 2/3 minutes before i lost him,,couldn`t repeat what i said to him on here lol...anyway in your experience what would you have done ??? should i have let him run a bit more or played him a bit harder ??

saturday was pretty much the same with the weather so trying to get a decent drift was hard,,how would you have approached the situation ??
should i have switched to maybe a sinker to get down to them ??
i hooked and lost 2 more fish by the way but that was in the evening..

Sunday was a stinker of a day rain rain and more rain but great drifts i put up maybe 8 or 9 fish,,bang fish on then off nearly all day..what was i doing wrong ???? my boat partner hadn`t touched a thing by this stage what could he have tried ???

i finished with 2 fish to the boat one at just over 1 lb the other maybe 2 lb but hard going all the same,,, sorry no pics of the fish as they went straight back...

Monday (today) saw another hard day on the lough with me putting up 3 fish and my boat partner only 2 but no hook up`s..how could we have improved this ?? the weather was much much better but most of the time we were fishing blind..saw more monster fish this weekend on Sheelin than i`ve ever saw in my whole life....

Pic`s will follow

Regards

My two cents
,
I've been on the " internet" since the days of 14k dial up modems and I've seen it all ..and I do mean all Smile

I've moderated on some huge forums, I currently admin three sea angling related forums and I'm on the admin team of another freshwater angling forum.So lets say I've a bit of experience

Disagreements happen, such is human nature. These disagreements can start over something very petty and escalate to full blown " forum wars " with users being banned , accusations being hurled from forum to forum, even virtual raids on rival forums. It happens

With the creation of discussion boards or forums , A new breed of user evolved , let me introduce you to the forum " Troll "
