I will not be around here!

Since I am being accused of not being able to separate my business and this board I will asap contact Ed and ask that he finds someone else to moderate it.

I will not be back here for any reason.

Sorry to anyone that is offended by my doing what others ask me to do which is ask Ed for this board and volunteer to moderate it.

Mo'nBack clearly has issues with me and like the LA board which I post very little any longer I will do the same here.

I am much to busy to get to it right now and will do it as soon as I can.

Until then this is my last post.

I should still be on the main board if anyone has questions.

Thank You All,

Skip

Skip,

You need to stay on this board and continue to be the moderator. That's my two cents worth. You are a valuable resource with a ton of knowledge.

there are trolls on every internet forum always bitching about something. let em bitch, its the internet for petes sake.

I have sent a Pm to Ed explaining what is happening and will let him decide. If he wants me to keep being moderator, fine, if not that is fine too.

It is not something I have dreamed of doing anyway, but don't mind it and don't mind teaching my trade. I do mind when people expect me to give away secrets I use.

I will gladly help anyone learn tying and how to do things that will help them.

Thanks,

Skip

Skip, I find that you are a very helpful to anyone who wants to start tying or has any questions about tying.

Thank you very much and I do appreciate it. I just am not going to allow some people to question my intentions and honor. It's not worth it at all.

I sent a PM to Ed and when he let me know what he wants I will abide by that.

Thanks again,

Skip

So much for this.;)

I'll PM Ed and tell him that you should stay as moderator Skip.

I tie jigs myself when time allows and have found your comments very helpful. I like to see your innovative and creative color schemes as well and would be totally dishonest if i didnt try to mimic some of them. I dont sell jigs, just something that my daughter and i sit down and do from time to time. I hope you re-consider but totally understand if you have been offended by others.

Keep up the good work is my .02

Would you like me not to post? Just say so and that will be that!http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h1.../thank_you.gif

I just had some ask that I stay, but if you are not one of them just say so. However I have noticed the only post you make that I read are negative anyway. SO maybe I should just ignore you.

Not sure what posts you're talking about there.:confused:

Did you really think I didn't know that? It was after some support I got that made me keep posting and I wanted to offer some chenille at a extremely good price if anyone was interested. I can save people a good bit of cash because I can sell the material so much less that other places like Barlow's.

Hope I didn't offend you as that was not my purpose.

I am so busy here that I hardly can keep up tying jigs and so my post come in breaks.

Just doing my best to get my customers taken care of. Anyway I am sorry if I was a bit snipey.

WAH WAH now lets just have a real big group hug & kiss :D

Can't we all just get along ..................I'm sure we all (or myself anyway)want everyone to stay & alot more to come.But the repeat,repeat like a broken record is starting to sound like someone is wanting to get begged.

Simple as 1....2....3 or A....B....C either we leave or we stay.

No begging wanted or required and like I said I will do as Ed wants as I have already sent him a PM. Actually I would think the matter is already in motion so begging as you state or anything else will not make any difference.

I am ready for either.

Skip

All of this over a dag gone glo jig...wow thoes things are powerful!

Skip, this is just my 2 cents.....I've only been around here a short time, but it doesn't take long to realize how much help and information you've provided to the thousands who view this board. That's the purpose of this board. I come here to learn, share and to meet folks who share my addiction to the sport. By now, we all know (or should know) there are some things you don't ask a person, and there are some things you don't tell. I understand that and can live with it. The knowledge of what you do is exactly why you should remain the moderator. The good you've done for the many outweighs everything else. Nuff said.

skip you need to stay if someone don't like your busniess being on here o'well you make very good jigs, give very good pointers' and are a real asset to this site u can't please everyone on here, but i 90% probley agree with me.

Ditto to what Hoosierdaddy said. This bickering and accusations aside, skip has helped me and countless others, and hopefully he sticks around. Skip, if you do decide to quit moderating, at least keep posting to the board.
I belonged to a fishing forum site ars ago and absolutely loved it. Seemed like a great bunch of guys and girls who liked to share info with each other, like this one. I am not sure the particulars, but a rift developed between two groups of people and the site split apart because the two sides couldn't get along. Neither site, in my opinion, was ever the same after that, and if I am thinking right, the original no longer exists. I haven't been back to either in a couple years. I'd hate to see that happen here over something like this.

skip ignore the idiots that complain. they are just jealous and look for things to complain about. you do a good job here and i like reading your posts and looking at some of your creations. i seen the same couple people attack anyone who tries to sell a thing or 2 on here.. if ed had an issue with your business then he would have said something, and since he hasnt said anything then ignore the people who probably dont have the skill or are to lazy to do anything constructive besides critisize someone on an internet forum..im not begging you to stay, just do what makesyou happy and ignore the people who make the negative comments and think bout the friends and other people you have helped on here...just my 2 cents. good luck brother

Ignore them Skip. You have helped me several times and I really appreciate it. As for giving away trade secrets, only a fool would expect someone in business to do that. Keep up the good work.

Cannot ignore this nonsense any longer. Unless I've missed something,No one has asked anyone to share or give up supposed trade secrets.
see original post http://www.crappie.com/gr8vb3/showthread.php?t=50259

This has been blown way out of proportion. I don't believe it is a matter of national defense.

Really I do appreciate all the support and am willing to help anyone and all with what ever I can. I get lots of questions and don't mind it at all.

Thank You all,

Skip

You're welcome Skip. Keep on helping us all. A person that will not stand up for something they believe in will fall for anything. A friend of mine said it best Skip. I'll share his thought with you.

"No man can ride your back unless it is bent."
We all need a little backbone in our lives and we need to close this subject on this post and enjoy our jig tying forum that the members
requested with you as our knowledgeable moderator.

BOARD RULES QUOTED
"In an effort to ensure that “friendliness prevails over everything else” on the Crappie.com boards, no personal attacks, or even negative connotations towards others, will be tolerated, whatsoever. .....................So, with that in mind, your posts may be edited or deleted at the drop of a hat, if you post anything that even mildly smells like, or barely resembles a personal attack or negative connotation towards another. We will not debate what we’ve done, although we may or may not provide an explanation."

I do hope that those of you who have attacked Skip and/or others will cease your attacks. This is too good a forum to have it messed up by personal agendas.

Listen to old ship. Pick and choose your battles. Every war is not worth fighting. Nobody can ever steal your dignity, your integrity, or your passion for helping all of us. We are all on this board because we like to create jigs that catch crappie.

"In the fell cluth of circumstance, I have not winched nor cried aloud. Beneath the bludgeonings of chance, my head was bloodied but unbowed."

The forum has to have rules. It also has to have chronic complainers, there everywhere. It is there right to express there opinions on the forum, that is what it is all about. It is our right to disagree with them and say so. I personally do not what to see Skip stop posting on this forum. He shares his knowledge with all of us. He also asked for our opinions and seems to take criticism very well. So, Ed if you read this I want Skip to stay with us on the forum. If Skip is breaking a forum rule chat with him. Get it straight and encourage him to stay with us.

I've encouraged Skip to stay on, and I see that you all have as well. Skip, you've contributed so much to the site, and I'm sure you have so much more to contribute. Please have fun with it. That's what it's all about. If it ever does not bring you joy, then, wait a day, see if you still feel the same way, and sure, we'll suffer, and find another moderator. But please do not leave us, you have a fan club.
