Can't vote I just fell out of my chair laughing !
-
C'mon, he's old, like buck ;D
I like his comments; don't always agree but he does have a ton of experience in angling and being a curmudgeon, lol!
-
I bet Ralph himself votes "yes" :)

who is Ralph? 8)

I know he likes the attention. He craves it. Feeds the ego.

What he likes, is getting under the skin of people who like to argue with him. Also, I enjoy reading the comments.

he's a lonely old man that has nothing better to do but sit in front of his computer screen and try to show everyone how smart he thinks he is.
you guys should take pity on him as it's obvious he doesn't have a life beyond his computer so let him spew his knowledge and let him think he's omnipotent!

oh that's both mean and untrue!
LOL!

explain then why you are on here so much?
normal people have a life and they are out doing things rather than criticizing everybody else's post than comes on here!
you seem to think you have some kind of duty to correct everyone that makes a statement on this forum.
not being mean, just calling it the way I see it.

Ralph reminds me of Justin Trudeau. He hates the middle class middle aged Caucasian male....even though we're the user group who contributes the majority of the taxes....or in Ralph's case....his pension.

What comes to mind when I read this post .

Ralph does not need a time out but he definitely needs a science course or two. 😄
-
Ralph is a miserable old little grampa, that likes to nag and spout anger and negativity in every topic there is. He doesn't like anything and anyone. I've never heard him pointing out someone as knowledgable or simply agree with anything that he himself hasn't already said at prior point.
Also I think age and experience is not an excuse to stop fishing as I see top rods well into their 70s everytime when I'm on the water. I'm guessing those folks prefer to rather enjoy what has become limited time left instead of insulting random people on internet from the comfort of their couch.
Ralph I think you should resort to playing bingo and do your crosswords and let his forum return back to normal.
-
Ralph is Rod in disguise letting us know what he really thinks. Or just stirring the pot to get some more posts or hits.
-
I am Ralphs complete lack of suprise.

What a strange mix of good-natured ribbing and spiteful, negative posts. Sounds like some people mistakenly read this thread as a chance to get out their sharpened knives... I don't come here for attitudes like that. I much prefer the good-natured ribbing.

So do I. If you don't like Ralph's posts, don't read them.

hmmm interesting that you are so concerned with how I spent my time. Strange obsessions some people have.
As far breaks, time off etc. I was away for much of last week and off line. No one seemed to notice! Out fishing 3 times ...no one seemed to notice. I haven't been able to fish much for months following an accident I had a few months ago and am now just getting back into it. Normally I also get a lot of exercise during my day but that's been restricted too. How about you?
You called me old. How about you? What's your age?
I could go on but why bother. Your life is run by assumptions.
-
You have to love when internet posts hit a sore spot with people, and they take it personally. It's the internet people! Thousands upon thousands of users are on here - it's inevitable that someone will have a differing opinion than you. If you can't brush off what "some mean grandpa" says on here, you probably shouldn't be a regular.
This thread was hilarious at first, but it's become downright ridiculous. Yep, Ralph says things I often don't agree with. He's always "right," and will always play devils advocate, but sometimes that's needed to see both sides of a discussion. Things wouldn't be fun without Ralph, who would we argue with?!
-
There's a difference between posting opinions and insulting people. I must admit I am curious to see who he's insulting each day.

hmmm - there is a lot of insult slinging on this website and it don't always involve me.
Also I have always had a very low opinion of those who slur others that are not in a position to respond.

True not always you but you sure seem to be the hot topic. Hmmm I wonder why ? Never a dull moment. Glad you're in a position to respond. Cheers.

If we all agree on everything, it would be an awful boring forum, controversy is needed, good or bad, as long as we all agree to disagree in a civil manner............I still think Ralph should be banned for life ;).....................just kidding Ralph

Ralph,
I'm 63 years old, started fishing when in was 5 and haven't stopped. Started fishing the Vedder / Chilliwack system in 1966 and haven't missed a Steelhead season since. I have a full time job in very high profile construction company and have been in the construction industry for 42 years. I worked in a sporting goods shop, tied flies professionally and built custom rods as well as repairs, started a fly fishing club, worked on fisheries stream enhancement projects, taught fly casting, fly tying etc. And in my spare time raised a family and a son who is a very accomplished fisherman if I do say myself.
I also do 2-3 saltwater fishing trips up the coast every year including Haida Gwaii, central coast, northwestern Van Isle, just got back from fishing Sooke yesterday. Oh and I stay very active physically.
anything else you want to know?
-
Ralph,
I'm 63 years old, started fishing when in was 5 ...
You called me old. I am 62. You can do he math. Birthday was a couple weeks ago. I am a CPA (retired). Married 40 years that anniversary was just a few days before my birthday. University education. Two adult children. No grand kids. No prospects of any as yet. Lots of hobbies and things to keep me active. As I said an accident a few months ago serious that restricted what I could do. Still recovering. Perhaps that partly explains why I seem to have been on line so much lately.
I have significantly different opinions than many here. Based on knowledge, education and experience. Sorry (irony)
Cheers.
-
I wish you to recover fully and successfully so you can finally get a break from Internet. ;)

Ralphy for Mayor .

Dave you are a prince!
-
Ralph,
I'm glad you told me you are a CPA!
THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!!!!
-
Oh and by the way I got you beat, happily married for 42 years!
you may be younger than me but you are acting like an old man on here!
-
IMO of Ralph is he comes across as a "know it all" but be careful of what you wish for, I have seen on other forums the posters who are on all the time and have an opinion on everything, once gone are missed.
-
In the few posts I have made this past sockeye recreational season, Ralph has made completely logical and substantiative arguments. You may be in disagreement with him/he may be in disagreement with you, but it should be a respectful thing and challenge you to think deeper and promote within. I respect what wisdom he chooses to share on this forum because one day it may not be around for all of us to learn from.
-
Thank you B. Barley, it's what I aim for.
-
Ralph,
I'm glad you told me you are a CPA!

Yeah it explains a lot. Being a CPA is just a part of it though a person can't spend 35 years of their life in such a profession and not have your thinking patterns altered. A CPA combined with many other things I won't go into means I have an intellectual background and a structured way of thinking most people lack. That sounds arrogant but I am proud of it. I hate ignorance and don't suffer fools gladly, particularly not fools who are mean spirited.
-
And that statement there says it all Ralphy. Mean spirited ? You've done a lot of name calling here. You're a CPA but these numbers just don't add up for you do they. I'm tapping out of the Ralph thread before I Ralph. Wish you speedy recovery from your injury. Cheers.

Ralph, such oratorical flatulence puts out as much methane as a cattle farm . Please help abate man made global warming by refraining from such delusional self adoration. ;D
Oh, and please use your superior intellectual skills to remember that for now and the foreseeable, water flows downhill to to find its equilibrium, not up as some charlatans would have you believe. ;D
-
see what I mean! hahahahahaha!

I’m a regular on two other sites like FWR and each has its own version of Ralph. I would suppose it difficult to be one of those people and not come across as arrogant and disrespectful; indeed the other two Ralphs are condescending as hell, and have pissed off many.
Before reading the above I thought you might float above the others Ralph, but now, not so much.

Ralph:
water flows uphill Fatso ... here is the proof:

oh and Dave, at least I am open and honest about it.

Its clear now the guy has aspergers. Be easy everyone. Being socially awkward has its challenges. Loners seem to get revenge buy shooting up a school. In this case it may be fisherfolks on the Vedder.
