i personally believe the political forum and bgreene are directly responsible for a number of people leaving this forum. I have communicated with several people that were newcomers to the site that left because 90% of the new post were in the political forum. I don't know what his deal was, or care, but if you eliminate his political post, he basically either commented on, or repeatably started the same thread over and over on about 5 topics total. I really don't think he brought anything good to this forum. And if you disagreed with his opinion, he would banter on about his poor choice. I have avoided the political thread on this forum, i believe i made one post in there. This is a boat/fishing forum. I agree that politics affect us all, but i have several other sites that i discuss those subjects on that would eat bgreen and most on here alive. I come here to talk boats and fishing.
