I see that some selective editing has occurred. However, keeping in mind that I am a guest here and this is not my site, I don't personally have a problem with this. Freedom of speech, etc doesn't pertain to a private forum and it's always the case of: if you don't like it, you're free to go. Whether the editing is/ is not necessary is not my call either. This is a good site, especially for people who are new and/or are learning and can ask question without having to feel intimidated by an experienced angler laughing at them or being called a "beak." I've lurked on some other sites in the past and it's sad to see the name calling that goes on there. We're all supposed to be part of this larger group of people who share a common interest and yet we are constantly being divided amongst ourselves by name calling and arrogance and ego. Feel free to delete this post as it's not part of the original topic.
