Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted January 10, 2007 Super User Posted January 10, 2007 Guess this goes to show that in all bad...there is good.

Guest avid Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I'm going to attempt to be a little diplomatic here. Craig, as one new to the forum perhaps you are unfamiliar with the culture here. As you have learned, we can go at each other, but ALWAYS with respect. Why don't we all take a deep breath. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH in, now EXHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE........... ah, that feels better yes? If your prepared to stay within the parameters as set forth by Glenn and mods, then you will find this to be a fun site where exchanges between members can be empassioned, amusing and informative. I hope you choose to stay. avid

Super User RoLo Posted January 10, 2007 Super User Posted January 10, 2007 I WHACK you over the head with a ballbat, then I explain: Hey that's me...it's my "MAJOR FLAW". Am I now forgiven? Mr. Baugher was not at all surprised by the response, it is exactly the response he was looking for. To take it any other way, would be calling him a social moron. Roger
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 10, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 10, 2007 Sorry Avid, but I'm pretty sure he already left. He deleted a bunch of his posts and changed his profile information. I think everything that needed to be said has been said. Let's stay true to our culture and refrain from bashing Craig. As I understand it, this isn't like him. So I'm VERY interested to know what's behind his behavior. Actually, I'm quite certain I know what it is. I'm just surprised Craig allowed himself to be misled so much that he was willing to scar his own reputation. Maybe Craig should have done a tinsy bit of research first. I won't elaborate, so don't ask. I posted this for Craig to read. If he does, then he knows what I'm talking about.
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted January 10, 2007 Super User Posted January 10, 2007 Why don't we all take a deep breath. BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH in, now EXHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE........... ah, that feels better yes? Thank you avid. That bean burrito I had for lunch was really starting to build up. But now I have another problem, my dog just passed out ;D
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Duece,...can you hear me? WAKE UP DUECE! Funny, we had burritos here for lunch today,lol Great minds...
Super User flechero Posted January 10, 2007 Super User Posted January 10, 2007 yep . . . Want me to prove him wrong, $850 for 800 words, $1250 for 1,200, contact my agent I'm game, hot shot... I'll start it off and throw in the first $100. (I bet we could raise another $750 in a day or two) If you could actually answer the questions I asked, it would be well worth $850 to the rodbuilding community at large. If you fail again, and you turn in an 800 word bluff are you willing to make an $850 donation to the charity of my choice? If so PM me your "agents" info and I'll set it up. (Since I had never heard of you, I wouldn't know where to get the number) I find it pretty ironic that someone, who just yesterday, wrote so passionately about ethics and devotion to teaching others could do such an incredible 180. I think you freightened both Jekyll and Hyde. I leave the ball in your court, Mr. Baugher... for absolutely no good reason, I offer a chance to save face, make some money and make me look like a fool in the process. All you have to do is risk a charitable donation. I'm guessing that you are sort of busy now and not able to take on additional work... I can see how you would be in such high demand. Glenn/Mods, Delete this post if you feel it needs to be taken out... I don't want him leaving here with the ability to honestly say he wasn't given a chance.
Lane Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 WOW! Checkmate! Keep us posted, I would like to read any responses to the questions you presented. Lane
fishingrulz Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Oh man...this is the definition of cabin fever....is spring here yet? ;D
Cigarlover 1 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Wow! What the H just happened here? Looks like I missed it all. Oh well. Looks like Craig's gone but I just wanted to throw up a post and give a shout out to everyone that read the original post and would not stand for letting someone come in to this forum and bully other members around. Special thanks to Glenn for letting it be known that this is a clean site and BS won't be tolerated. One of the reasons I love this site so much is the camaraderie and respect all the members have and it's cool to see that anything less won't be tolerated.
Daniel My Brother Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 For those who don't know what happened, here's a quick recap. Mr Baugher used a post on the forum to critique one of the articles on this site. The article was written by a woman named Dorothy. I don't know if Dorothy is a member or not. He was brutally arrogant, repeatedly calling her an idiot and suggesting she was high when she wrote it. Why he chose to do this in public, I don't know. The subject line was "Road Warrior and Site Management" or something close to that. Why Road Warrior? I have no idea as he made no reference to RW. I googled Mr. Baugher and found this link. I think he was pretty quick to judge us, so I'm comfortable with any snap judgements you make about him. I say "us" because I feel a sense of ownership here, and I'm guessing you do to. Sorry if I'm piling on. Deleting this post won't hurt my feelings. http://gl3loomis.home.comcast.net/my_big_adventure.htm
Troutfisher Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Mr. Baugher obviously had no respect for the members of the board, the articles of the BassResource.com, or respect for the good of the forum. No offense, but I'm glad he's gone.
Minuteman Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 We now return you to your regular programing.
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Oh man...this is the definition of cabin fever....is spring here yet? ;D Yup i was thinking the same thing. You put 7000 hardcore bass fishermen on one forum together in the middle of winter and somthings bound to happen ;D ;D ;D I aparently have missed out on the advents spoken about on this thread.... To bad, i could have sold tickets LOL
KYbass1276 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I made two post on this topic Ideleted one both where in the lines of this guy saying I'm sorry and things be on there way but after reading a article from the link Daniel my brother provided I am now changing my stance on this clown. As far as I'm concearned I don't care what he has to say I really don't want nothing to do with a pompus *** such as him and I'm glad he's gone. I will say I'm sorry for my attitude toward this but I've learned to much from here to just let someone bash it. This site has made me better at fishing and beleve me I need the help but none the less it's help me alot, and I am gratefull to have a great site like this to turn to when in doubt. There's not a book or magazine, Tv show out there that can hold a candle to this site and it's wealth of knowledable people that's what makes this so great. So I guess in a way Thanks Mr Baugher you made me realize how much I need this site. If there is one thing this site hasn't helped me with though and thats my spelling seems to get worse everyday anybody else have that problem. Seems to get worse the older I get.
flukenLizard Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I was in the middle of trading tow vehicles bout right, I told my wife that nuthing good was goin to happen the day i traded off Mighty Whighty. I personally want to thank all of you guys for the help you have givin me and for the help i hope you will give me in the future. Im glad hes not here any more and i didnt read his post.. I have noticed on other forums that folks try to make everyone think they are tougher and smarter than everyone else. I for one dont do that, wasnt raised that way. In fact ill be the first to admit if it doesnt have to do with a diesel motor or a wellbore, im lost. so thanks everyone. and esp. Glenn/mods.( have had the pleasure of p.m.'ing with Glenn and he seems like a good ole boy. ) Its nice to have a place to talk to my BIL when the wife tells me to get off the phone. you guys rock. keep it up. Me and bitman got ur back from west texas.
Super User Long Mike Posted January 11, 2007 Super User Posted January 11, 2007 To paraphrase Mr. Shakespeare: Mr. Baugher is a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. His is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury. signifying nothing.
buzzbaitfool12 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry I missed the excitement..Craigaria and I found a new honey hole today and we cant wait until the spring..It is awesome we all came to the defense of this site because I have searched many but I have found a home full of information that is very informative and in the last year has made me a better fisherman..Thanks again Glenn and Mods for keeping this site the best it can be..Buzz
