[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 317157, member: 337"] Interesting point. If an a-hole weekend fisherman is rude or otherwise a jerk you have no recourse but to return the nastiness or move on and just accept it. But you normally look at it as an isolated a-hole incident. But if it's a tourney guy (or an out of state tag on the boat) then it's a human condition that we equate the two. Especially if it's repeated. That's just how biases work and for evolutionary reasons they've paid off. (all snakes are bad - kill them all now) In some of these cases they're not really related - but we're going to relate them nonetheless and BOOM. Tourney guys and out of state guys suck. "Go Home A-hole" is how most people start thinking. So like it or not it's an issue that tournament organizers need to address. Having never been involved I have no idea how tourneys currently handle reports of bad actions by their participants - but it seems wise they put quite a bit of emphasis on it and drop the hammer if the neg report proves true. It sucks but it's necessary. Also - SDMF is one of those guys with the almost magical ability to [U]genuinely [/U]give zero ####s what other people think. So have fun arguing with him. Seems like a handy skill set to have, most of the time. Ha ha. [/QUOTE]
