It could have been handled very easily. The name calling could have been completely left out with a simple statement acknowledging something questionable was said. I've seen it here before. The thread is very important to me and allot of friends of mine because we fish these rivers. The name calling served no purpose at all... other than in my case it gave me a reason to lose what little respect I had for Fox. There's no doubt he's intelligent and very well informed on the issue. There's also very little doubt (in my mind anyway) why Fox gets so little respect.
