Should we ban the CA as a topic on AN?

[Sportsman]

I would be pleased to discuss hunting, shooting or fishing bans in all of their forms.

I do have to say that I think the C.A is not really relevant to the majority of anglers and wonder if we would better spend our time talking about a cohesive approach to the undoubted upcoming threat to the sport that we ALL enjoy and have in common. (Apart, that is from Mullet fishing, can't stand that!)

[awaaar]

now you've done it sportsman - statements like that will have Mr Roskilly most upset

 

 

welcome to AN by the way - enjoyed your input so far

Take it all back about mullet fishing, didn't mean to say it- the devil made me do it!

Yeah.. if the CA were banned as a topic, "sportsman" wouldn't have anything to write about, would he? He sure knows sweet FA about angling..

...angling will only be damaged by association with those anachronistic dinosaur knuckle-scrapers.

As a lifelong shooter, I find that sweeping verdict as sad as it is innaccurate, Graham. And if you imagine for one minute that fishing isn't a form of hunting - you're that decendent of those dinosaurs, the ostrich.

Put down your handbag for a minute Wordbender. I had forgotten that you were a carp angler, so I take back the "dinosaur" bit.

 

All the best.

We've been discussing this on the non-fishing Forum. See

Unfortunately, this was another thread that got bogged down with the CA and foxhunting.

Just a 'knuckle dragger', then?

 

I feel great now.

 

 

Thanks.

Wordbender sets about creating a sure-fire Romani-stylie spell that'll turn Graham X into a toad with halitosis......

 

......then realises that this would represent a promotion for him.

 

Take THAT, Sir! And never show yourself within range of my handbag again! Harrumph.
