Several months ago I posted something about an event that involved another icefishing website. I was sent a PM by one of the moderaters, kindly asking me to delete the post, so as not to support competion to IS.
Was I irked? yup, Did I think it was silly, paranoid and childish? yup.
But then I thought about it and decided that I am but a guest in someone else's Shanty, and if the Shanty owner wishes me to abide by his rules, I can understand and live with that.
In fairness to the owners of other boards that I post on(ice and open water) I no longer mention IS on their boards, so as not to provide competion among sites.
I really enjoy posting on here, get lots of good information and have made some good friends here. I can live with whatever rules are laid out, real or imagined.
