Your best thread controversy...

[v-bay gord]

The thread about things slowing down and lack of forum rules has me thinking back over my favorite WC encounters. What are some of yours?

Here's my pick. Back when I made a comment about the potential "Bear Trail Lodge" closure here on Eagle Lake. Not only did I receive a foul word laden shouting match over the phone from the then owner, but was also threatened with a law suit, as was Scott Golden. Some of my posts were pulled down and I was accussed of being a trouble maker. Vindication was mine when the low life owner of BTL bailed with his guest's deposit money never to me seen again. I was right.....ahh, the good ol days!

Gord, that thread was one of the biggest controversial threads i can ever recall. So many stories, points, counter points, threats as you describe. I was talking about that time at the booth at the Chicago All Canada show a few weeks ago.

That story is epic and will probably always be remembered. Thank you to all of the camp owners that stood up and assisted the customers of Bear Trail Lodge that lost their deposits and had no camp to go to for their Canadian fishing trip. Several here went out of their way to help out some fishermen that had been wronged.

My best one was one of the run-away killer Toyota threads. Arguing with people that the UAW does not build Toyotas and therefor not their fault. lol Broke off into e-mail and message arguments and a certain someone e-mailed me a virus during the e-mail exchange that totally trashed my computer.

The concealed carry thread a few years back was pretty good...almost 30 pages.

Football threads have been known to ruffle some feathers with the Minnesota crowd.

Should I dare mention my: Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins or Celtics on this website..

You can mention the Patriots. The Bruins have the classic original six uniforms. The Red Sox are over done. The Celtics I believe are basketball?

I haven't been around for very long, but there have been some good ones. The one (several) thread that sticks out in my mind was a particular customizer of crank baits and their claim of it being a fact that red hooks and red slashes painted on them always out-fish baits without them. Custom Eyes seemed to have a lot of fun with that topic. The poster was dead set on letting you know how stupid you were if you did not agree.

Then there was a pretty short thread from someone that just had to post his farewell if he didn't get an apology from someone that disagreed with their point of view.

I will add the numerous threads that go off on tangents away from the original post (Usually a question on personal experiences) asking to compare boats (Ranger, Lund, Alumacraft, Crestliner, etc) or trucks (Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota or Dodge). Too many threads to count through the years that go on for pages with arguments over brands.

I have to say though that one of the most entertaining parts of reading Walleye Central has to be any post by REW. REW posts the most detailed comments of anyone on the website in my opinion.

I will sit back and watch the response
