This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Barbel Fishing – The Pope’s River Diary: January
I think the list of requirements speaks volumes about what is so intrinsically wrong with the commercialisation of the Barbel Society and why so many real people no longer want anything to do with its leadership who judge anglers by their commercial success and how they have sold themselves to a gullible public.
lol....not sure what you read but I think Steve was indicating abit more than that!!! lol
I can assure you that the BS has hundreds of real people as members and that the committee have not,as you state , sold their souls to commercial success.Get real and perhaps contribute instead.
Rich.

I will only say one thing, especially as you appear not to have the courage of your convictions and use or even sign off with your own name, whilst attacking an organisation,it's members and officials.
The list could apply to any persons views on what a celebrity may be and not all of them relate to commercial success!
I'm not certain that applies blanker, but you can show me where it did.
Perhaps it's more to do with the way the anonymous with a grudge put over their view.
Steve's diary piece had nothing to do with the Barbel Society and only part of the piece was a personal view of what he thinks is meant by celebrity.
That seems to me that you think that an unfounded attack on that members organisation shouldn't be responded to. Is that your view ?
