I think the last line in the instructions is pretty clear: NO WAR, POLITICS, RELIGION, OR FLAMING!

When people start getting personal here, it goes downhill fast and the moderators tend to lock things down and, on occasion, kick out some people who went too far. The relative lack of personal attacks is what separates this site from one or two others I *used* to visit.

This is a family site. Don't post anything you wouldn't want your mother or children to see and attribute to you, and since it really IS a flyfishing site, keeping the topics at least REMOTELY connected to flyfishing (as opposed to, say, baseball) is appreciated by me and perhaps one or two other of the thousands of readers of the site.
