I hate spearboard so much!!

    Never had any issues or anything negative to say about Spearboard. In fact, much like this site there have been many people that have been helpful and passionate about the sport we all love. If certain people feel they have to speak out againsted them, then that is their right. I would rather concentrate on all the positives that all these sites bring. Saw a recent post on Spearboard where several people donated to a diver who was self employed and just had an accident and couldn't pay his bills. It was incredible to see so many people chip in to help him out financially. I am sure it happens on this site as well. In the end it's not about the individual site bit the community that supports them and in the end believe its all the same people who have a common interest.

    We all love this sport of spearfishing, that why we are here. Who cares what sites you like and don't like. Who said what and to who. Move on.


    I dont care for spearboard anymore either and Im not allowed to post there, and i really could care less. Im done with bashing that site or bellyaching.. its stupid. the amount of politics and competition in this community is a waste of oxygen on everyones end.... Ill keep holding my breath and shooting fish... the world will still turn.

    Lets not be hypocrites, if you're really not interested then why click on the thread? You know what section it's in and what it's going to be about, so save your oxygen. I repeat, spearboard and grogan negatively affect the spearfishing community, and people need to be made aware of it. In this case it was just a member venting his frustration over censorship. Another time it may be something more important. If you don't know all the background information and/or don't care, simply don't go there.

    I still don't know all the background information. All I know is I mentioned "SPEARDIVER" and "PURSUIT" in a thread on SB. My posts where deleted, and I was issued infractions by Tony and I had no idea WHAT THE HECK TO MAKE OF IT ALL:confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1::confused1:. Since then I have been threatened to be deleted, my Avatar, Signature line, and tag line have been removed and issued infractions for commercial activity.All under the official rules of Spearboard. That's how Tony wants it. His choice.


    Dan, its a lot of work to understand the background and your fueds with Tony and others in the industry. Maybe you can make a brief list of all the feuds and company's you have problems with so these topics stop coming up and we can let it rest and go shoot fish.


    1. Why is Tony and Spearboard bad for spearfishing and what the heck did Tony do to you so make you angry enough to make cartoons out of his photos?
    2. Why are you banned from Blue Wild?
    3. What did Mako Spearguns do to become an enemy?
    4. Why was Brian Jones of Salvimar USA not allowed to comment here on your forum?
    5. Why was Josh from Neptonics post deleted here on this forum?


    I think clearing the air of all these feuds will put a lot of these posts to rest.

    2. Why are you banned from Blue Wild?

    :laughing3: I've heard this nonsense before. For someone with so many questions Dustan, you sure don't seem to question your information. Last I know Sheri Daye strongly disassociated herself from grogan when questioned about the relationship between Blue Wild and spearboard, and was happy to provide me with a price list. I don't know if I'll exhibit in the Blue Wild in the future, but as a visitor it's not interesting to me so I don't go. Those of you who have gone, is a there a wanted poster in the ticket booth with my picture on it saying "Don't let this guy in!"?


    As to the rest it's all here and self explanatory, click through some threads.

    You see, who the heck knows what is going on? All I know is , a few months ago a diver told me you where banned from Blue Wild. I don't hear of to many trade shows banning the industry members. So that is not true?

    Who can make the decision to ban someone from the Blue Wild?


    Heck if I know. I have never been. Only seen photos and read about it. I sure want to go next year, and if there is a banned list I sure don't want to be on it.

    Well if you want to be assured whether I'm banned or not, I suggest you contact whoever that is. If you're not going to the trouble, then you may want to use common sense, something along these lines.. Would "banned" really be a word used by an event owner to describe the business decision of who to rent space to or not? Would the event owner make this decision publicly known? Especially before the person in question ever expressed interest in renting said space? :dumb:

    Thanks, I'll write them and investigate. I hate black lists.

    Man, after hearing that Bill Mac got banned and reading that thread with Marcus calling John McCain a coward and a traitor....I TRIED to get banned. I posted a new thread titled "I love Speardiver gear". The Speardiver came out ********** but it's still up with 4 replies.


    I'm expecting a notification soon. :D


    There are some good guys on there, no offense to any of them. I wish it could have been more like here.

    But if there were that many Bubble Butt Spearo's, Punks and and Wannabes here, this place would be more like there.;)

    Since they are going to delete the thread and ban me, this is what is written:


    I want to know if Bill Mac is banned from Spear bored???


    Lets face it, he is a spearboard Icon.


    If that is the case, I have a couple of things to say.




    Bill Mac is the man and I LOVE SPEAR DIVER GEAR
