The "husband" will be calling you soon to have you send the money first. Cause your integrity sucks.
I'm gonna go buy some extra shit from Russ now, just 'cause it'll chafe your delicate little vagina.

Brutus:
Nah, didn't take it personally. There's an inside joke there, and I *think* Dingus got the joke. Maybe not. Dunno.
For the record, I've no qualms about dealings with Fish products. I've not bought from them (read: I ain't no aid climber... ) but I know several folks who have, and the general consensus has been nothing short of 100% positive.
My comment earlier was only to ask for civility. Not so much to ask, really. DMT, from his post, seems to think otherwise. Diff'rent strokes, I reckon.
P.S. I'm a fan of Prozac, when used properly. It kept my only sister from suicide, and that alone is worth more than money... she's my sis, after all.

I will order some fish product as well, maybe not a fly but something.
To the dude who's fly was late, cancel the order, if the card was charged reverse it (product not recieved) but sounds like FISH don't charge till its shipped.
Although I expect someoen to be more professional, do you really want to piss the person off who's making your gear by hand ? That's like calling the chef and ass just before he cooks your food.

I've actually got a portaledge ordered for next year; I ordered it about a year ahead of time and told Russ when I would need it.
Russ responds quickly to my emails.
I really hope your buddy follows your advice and returns the ledge and I get his fly. Did he order a double? That would be very excellent.
I order fish gear because his products are the best and come recomended highly/completely by friends I have great respect for and are vastly more experienced than me.
Rei is open every day 9-5 and stocked to the gills with stuff I don't need. Maybe you should cruise by and ask to have them hook you up.

I'm sure you can point out examples where I've had to intervene more than just asking people to be nice, DMT.
In fact, why don't you go right ahead and give everyone a list of people, times, and dates that I've kicked someone out, handed out a ban, and so forth.
Go ahead... show us the list.

Me.
You're working for the site doing gear reviews, taking the equipment that comes your way down the pipeline, all while putting John -- who has steered well clear of any moderating whatsoever -- in an extremely awkward position. He's done nothing but go to bat for you since your mouth grew wide, and yet it keeps getting wider. I'm sure you have a way to justify it, but to me it appears to be a conflict of interest on your part.
There's more. Where once I thought you were funny and interesting, you now sound shrill and repetetive to me. Where once I thought you were civil and thick skinned, you now seem overly sensetive and willing to flame at the drop if a hat. You do it almost every single post -- even though nobody has done what you say they're going to do... or have done... I admit, it's difficult to dicipher your opinion on that....
dingus on Supertopo wrote: They're not back to censoring, er, moderating everyones' posts yet, but give them time!
And then...
dingus on Supertopo wrote: The moderators are all volunteer which of course adds insult to injury when they DO censor someone's post. I mean, who the 'ell are they, eh? I wouldn't let some of those people edit my dog sh#t, knowwhatImean?
Your angst is over something that hasn't happened? Am I close?
I respected everything about you on this site, including your willingness to stand up for what you believed in, because you did it with such flare. I know you and I don't agree on RC.com-related issues -- that isn't what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about the way you have begun to express your opinions. You sound more like a garden-variety troll than the dingus milquetoast I once looked up to. And now here you are, complaining about heavyhanded moderation in a thread in which moderators have taken a distinctly light hand by asking people to keep it civil. No posted censored. No posts edited.
Throw me a bone dingus, if for no other reason than for the respect that I think we once had for each other. Explain to me what, exactly, you're so upset about? Nobody has censored your opinions about the site, even though they aren't exactly expressed maturely these days. (I believe you called them a bunch of fucking skydivers, and still no editing or censoring!)
I once went to bat for you, too, when a certain admin who is no longer around much attacked you as a broken down, cantankerous hasbeen with no place on the booty crew. It was worth it then, because that person was flat-out wrong. But if I were still running the Booty Crew, I'd have little choice but to at least reconsider my stance.
Bring back the old dingus! The one who expressed his opinions like the true writer he is! He was interesting and I could be swayed easily by his arguments. In the meantime, the new dingus can bite the same dogshit the mods aren't fit to edit, knowwhatImean?

I've never ordered from Fish, but I know several who have and continue to do so happily. If I were Russ, I would totally post a link to this thread on his website.

That problem is solved. The only reason I did submit it was a personal obligation to vegastradguy. That obligation started and ended with gear reviews; started and ended with vegastradguy. And now that obligation has been fulfilled.
I NEVER worked for RC.COM. Never. I worked for vegastradguy and you in turn.
You will note I kept all rancor and negativity out of that review and subsequent posts. I DELIVERED.

Wow, Battle Royal. First Sentinel jumps in to the ring and calls out Fish products, in true WWF sh!t-talking fashion. Russ runs out of the audience and hops into the ring for a little squaring off. After a couple a minutes the crowd grows restless and jumps in on the action, pouncing on Sentinel. Reno steps in to ref, tries to throw a yellow card and a little mano a mano erupts between him and Dingus. The camera pans back to the gang fight on Sentinel for awhile when J_ung runs into the ring and hits Dingus over the back with a folding chair.
Man, Monday Night Smackdown... intense. I want some action. [DA looks around for an innocent bystander, spots Pmyche minding his own business]. You... yeah you, Pmyche... ummmm, “You suck”.

What makes you think I was shaming him? I thought his rundown was hilarious and tried to give him a "trophy" for it, (it kinda looked like one in the preview). You do realize that beside being and evil mod I am also a regular user, right?

I think he was talking about me, Fenix.
Dave, c'mon... Even the use of the word "dissent," makes this seem like the owners are some sort of repressive government and the "dissenters" are heroic freedom fighters. Is that how you view yourselves? Disagreeing is fine. Being an asshole about it is lame. It means you let some changes to a website dictate how you treat other people. It really is that simple.

In spactacular fashion. It's an outstanding example of exactly what I was talking about above. When you write like Dingus Milquetoast, I listen. When you insult people for a reason that doesn't exist, I turn off.
