I think there should be a double standard. look at what chris has done for his local rivers. from volunteering to sit on boards and have discussions, to actually doing the leg work and picking up garbage, and likely a host of other crap we have no idea about.
maybe your one of the guys that does a ton and wants ZERO recognition. I work closely with those types and without them my job would be very difficult.... it's you just don't come across that way...you like people to know when they are (or could be) wrong. and the zero recognition type don't usually roll like that. 
if your constant posting of propaganda links is the result of one 'bunk' donation, don't worry about it man, i bought something back in 1996 that was also bunk..... but I let it go.
maybe, with your stellar google skills you could start posting links where closed containment systems are becoming viable. or where REAL progress regarding environmental sustainability in these open pens is taking place. .. is that not what you want? legions upon legions of wild pacific salmon running free and healthy? or is that a conflict of interest?
my browser protector keeps telling me your salmon farm websites are also 'high risk' is that just a coincidence as well?
Another good post Banx, as usual. … Chris does tons for angler and fish advocacy; of that there is no doubt. His work with the Fraser Valley Salmon Society and Chilliwack Vedder River Clean up Society is unquestioned and is perhaps the reason these two organizations are still functioning and functioning well.
Here’s the thing though … he firmly believes BC salmon farms are the biggest reason salmon populations are declining. Some here, me especially, don’t believe that; we think there are far more and bigger reasons and all have been discussed here and on other sites, ad nauseam.
When Chris posts what he posts, a few of try to show the many younger readers on this site he may not be scientifically accurate, may simply be “posting from the heart”, or what he has been told by others. For some of us that is simply not good enough, hence our posts. I think Fisherbobs posts reflect that line of thinking.
I suggest if people don’t like what we say, dismiss it and go on to other things.
Interestingly, although Chris and I fight like cats and dogs on salmon farming here on FWR, and at the Long Table (although he is not nearly as vocal there
) we are really pretty good friends … perhaps it's something to do with aging that does that to people with
nearly common interests
