...I'm not fond of constructive criticism myself, as many probably also feel, but I can understand it when someone tells me something I could do better personally in an effort they believe is to help me be a better speaker, or webmaster, or conservation director, etc.

There is no real constructive criticism for Muskie Bob Brunner in such comments. It will probably only be seen as an insult instead, and therefore provide no positive value to anyone. I think what is trying to be said is, yes we are entitled to our opinion, but there are some opinions that are better kept to ourselves - when they provide no value other than maybe to hurt someone's feelings - especially someone like Muskie Bob who is very popular with a lot of people...

Dan, you hit the nail on the head.  Bob is a friend of mine and I've tried a couple of times to get him to this site.  Knowing how sensitive he is to negative comments (especially comments with no constructive value) if he saw those posts, he probably wouldn't come back.  There is no call for denigrating a Hall of Fame fellow angler, who also happened to put his feet on Omaha Beach in June, 1944.  Bob deserves to be shown respect.  So those two posts really raised my hackles.  I had to maintain a good deal of control to keep my response civil.  Everybody is entitled to an opinion but it's not always smart to convey them in a public forum which is known for it's civility and good will between it's members.

Thanks members and friends! Once again - you've shown that we can learn a lot, have fun and set a great example for everyone else without fanning fires that aren?t even really there. Thanks to csfishslayer in particular. We can work things out, stay friends and move on.

I really do plan on talking to Bob about doing some articles. I know some people would really like to read that. I already know that not everyone reads every part of the web site ? in fact, several people have recently told me that my web site is too big and too confusing To those people - I?m sorry. Meanwhile, I need to find some more spare time.
