I read this in the section today about the history of fishlore.com
"I wanted to create a place where those new to the hobby could come to ask questions and not feel stupid or get ridiculed for asking those questions. I also wanted a place where there was an underlying respect for ALL of the members, not just the senior members. On some of the other boards it seems like the senior members have forgotten that they too were new to this hobby at one point. Some of those senior folks really thought of themselves as experts, I mean really, how could anyone possibly be an expert in this hobby - No way Hose A. "
They are rediculously strict on what language their members can use HOWEVER on their very site written by the founder, MIKE he uses a derogatory term for the Spanish pronouciation of Joseph (Jose) and turns it into HOSE A.
I got banned for life because I called a fish a little turd because it is hard to catch. I can understand wanting to keep bullies out and make it a safe and welcoming place for everyone to join in but I think they have taken this to a level where they themselves are bullies
