Drama Has To Stop !!

[Gerry Zagorski]

Need to clear the air about all the drama that seems to be taking place here in the fresh water section, both on posts and in PMs. I know it's been a long winter and with all the people that are now posting here there are bound to be issues and personality conflicts. I feel and I'm sure you all do as well, that the bad outweighs the good, however the negativity I've seen and the back and forth bickering has me concerned. Someone posts something up and there is a trail of negativity about questioning this or that.

I really have no time or patience to deal with drama, personalities, jealousy or negativity.... It sucks the life out of me and brings down the site and the people who want to post here. It takes what we all enjoy and makes it just another stress point in our lives. This sort of behavior will not be tolerated... If you even approach or cross over the line you will be banned from the site PERIOD.

I'm more concerned about the quality, not the quantity of people who post here. That is a choice I made a long time ago and what I believe makes it better for everyone involved here in the long run.

I'm sorry for any negative statements or problems I may have caused. I don't remember this much drama going on a year ago, or even this past fall, early winter. It's a phenomenal site in my book and I LOVE IT!!! Again, I apologize for any actions and statements that may have offended fellow NJF'ers.

TIGHT LINEZ DUDEZ!!!!!!!!

No offense but i highly recommend this be put in the saltwater section to! If you wana see drama and crying and boo hooing say Regulations! This freshwater form is what really keeps me around and gets me through my day!

Great site people need to relax and communicate with others to expand their knowledge on fishing.Glad I found out about this place thanks for setting up my account Gerry.

Sorry for any hard feelings I caused. Things definitely got a little out of hand on that thread. Not sure what else has been going on since I haven't been here that often, but I'm going to take responsibility for my part. I reached out to Eddie the next day to make sure all was cool and that the next time I see him in the parking lot of MY Shop-Rite that we can clog a whole lane in the parking lot again while we talk about fishing instead of having him trying to run me over with his cart.

I want to apologize for my rant the other day.....Been stressing big time not being able to find work for the past 8 months, dealing w/ some personal issues as well, as well as some other things too.....I'll be fine in the end I know that dealing with all that stuff......my frustration with a few things that have been going on behind the scenes got the best of me, and I realized that AFTER I posted and felt bad rereading my posting......I apologize when I am wrong .....In recovery, they call it making amends..........I also reached out to a few this morning and some did the same contacting me to talk about things.....I hope we can all get past this nonsense and keep the focus of this site on fishing.....I've always enjoyed this site and met some really cool guys and fished with quite a few good fisherman as well....FISH ON(ALWAYS!!)

Nicely Done Gerry....'nough said.

I've met a ton of guys from this sight this past year...fresh and salt... and I know deep down that each of them is a good person and really enjoys this sight for the great resource it is. I know I certainly do.

Looking forward to a great season and seeing many of you guys out there.

I didn't see the drama, thankfully. Can I make another request, hopefully without provoking more drama? Some of you guys have avatars for your posts of buxome babes. I'm all for buxome babes, but I often surf this site with my son, who is only 13. He's interested in buxome babes too, but maybe he doesn't need to see them just yet in connection with our shared love of fishing?
