I think its a good thing when the thoughts and ideas of the top anglers are challenged on forums like this. It can create some great discussions where everybody can learn. However, there should be a level of respect in the way that questions are asked or ideas challenged so that the top anglers are not offended. It also has to be said that some anglers do get offended to easily and do become defensive or even abusive in the way they respond.
I agree with you, NWCA. You get good and bad attitudes in all walks of life. That includes some of the top match anglers.
