Where's April Fool ????

[purple5ive]

Hope he c9mes back soon
Probably waiting f9r fishing reports to come

You could not have got that any more wrong than it is I'm.afraid.

I see a giant padlock coming.

Considering my post was edited by a mods as soon as it was posted, yeah it could be a possibility.
I maybe said a bit too much about something that wasnt meant to be public perhaps is my my best guess..

[purple5ive]

Theres more to it than just the conga line..
I'm sure he will come back when he is ready..
Few things going on in the background.

So just need to watch what's being said sometimes, as words can do a bit of damage to some and not so much the others.

Don't want to bring the vibe down, but ...these forums are a magnet for people trying to chase off the black dog.

Jim
Sometimes these forums unfortunately enhance the black dog as well

Steve, you have got my utmost respect. You are right on the money.The development and growth you have shown is very admirable and commendable :thumbsup: . Jim & others and I have been advocates of watching what anyone says, and glad to see that other members feel the same and are outspoken on this matter too (yes, you too Anth , , , , I see you there ).

He wasn't happy about the Conga #freebugatti campaign

That's right I remember.
He got annoyed with the congo and the speculations on why the bug was away

Jim, from what I have seen, wasn't "upset" with the Conga thread (as his quotes below attest to)

The thread purpose was good...and thanks to S Reels, had a good outcome. Now this thread is dribble!


It was more of what the thread had runaway into, yes granted, over exuberant rambunctiousness but away from it's intended purpose.

I see a giant padlock coming.

Let's get Jim back , , , , by not getting this thread locked.

Let's show Jim that collectively we can "Adult" well. Let's show Jim that it is an environment that he wants to come back too.


Regards Bill (who thought of leaving a few times too )

Everyone has their good and bad days bill..

Your not the only one who has thought about leaving a few times.
This place can be a warzone or a fishing trip of a lifetime. Just depends on how things are going for the individual.
Cheers

What conga line about??I don't to read it, just need a summary

Hi Jas

The Conga Line originally was a thread I started to get members involved.

When recently, I had an untimely break from the Forum, the forum members had used that thread to "get me back" (not that they knew I hadn't really gone anywhere).

So, I dare say, it is a symbolic thread of getting members involved :thumbsup:

Cheers, Bug

We need expense fishing gear, tie with a hook and :water: for April fool then

[VooDoo]

Hey fellows FV fishos ... you are all doing it wrong !!!!

Jim went bush about due to the conga line .. too many bananas IMHO .. These bananas must have been the cause of all his donuts trips and are still effecting him badly

So if we want to get Jim back .. no bananas / conga line ... this was the EPIRB distress signal to rescue The Bugman himself only.

For Jim, donuts, bending rods and strayed cats are the EPIRB signals that MAY bring him back IMHO.

And of course, a grain of humanity on top won't hurt either

I believe we (me included) have all erred with our words, not realising how powerful they are.
You generally start a war of any sort with words.

Joking or bantering at the Expense of someone else is called Bullying.

An Old English saying I never forget, "Many a true word said in jest"

So next time posting a comment ask yourself, "Does this build up or tear Down?" and is that how you would like to be treated?
Thanks.
