I do apologize if anyone is taking offense to me posting this here or in responding about to concerns about why i support the letter itself.
I take some measure of satisfaction in helping people to do what they dream of doing, whether that be fishing, hunting, or anything else that presents a challenge. When i have knowledge i feel that it is my duty to share my knowledge with someone in need without judging them. I think anyone who has known me long enough and knows what i usually talk about in posts knows this to be true.
The internet is a great forum for that because it allows people who might never meet in real life to share and learn about those things that they are passionate.
I have learned many years worth of sound fishing wisdom from both this forum and the other. There is no doubt, that my fishing successes have been in large part attributable to the knowledge i have been given here and there. As such my main desire is to alway's give back to the next person in need of help... A bit of "pay it forward" if you will.
Duck Butter is a very solid good person, and I have nothing but respect for him and his viewpoints on this matter. He was one of a very very few people from the other site who actually responded and offered real advice / help when i had questions on how to go about fishing / crabbing / shrimping in SE louisiana.
I have not previously spoken with Team M&M, but i have no doubt that he is a good solid person as well.
So although it might look a little like we are disagreeing, i promise you that we only have a difference of opinion.
