Re: NFC: Fish News

Art,

This is a public list and as such as long as you remain within its rules
people are allowed to say what they want about PETA. Foul language is off
course out of bounds as are personal insults.

I agree it is best to remain civil in disucssions , PETA seems to rile
even the most placid individual . So no dispariging comments are not
normal operating procedure. 

Now if PETA members were on this list (they have been in the past)
believe me the term chick would be the nicest thing they would call most
of the readers of this list. 

So just thought you'd like to know when it comes to PETA people get
upset. On the good side this open forum gives people with all backgrounds
the oppourtunity to share and learn about native fish and IMO the
benifits far outweigh any occassional social offences.
