I know how this goes rock fish. I post as an individual with my opinion and some facts then you and other post how I am employed by industry to make posts and with this thought you try to make it appear as if I am the whole industry world wide and you attack. You do this anonymously which suggest to me that you and all the other anonymous posters have something to hide. I don't care who you are but I am interested in what you do for a living. Some how I feel that most of the secrets will be closely guarded. Fair enough. Your secrets are safe here. lol
You are struggling now. I am rather well known in the sport fishing community and certainly no more anonymous than yourself and every bit as much of an individual poster as you are. My opinions are my own, I am nobody’s mouthpiece. There are no secrets as you imply, I don’t work for some rabid environmental organization and oppose much of their more radical ideology. I don’t make a dime and never have directly or indirectly from my opposition to Atlantic salmon in open ocean net pens. I am a angler and a retired professional in a completely unrelated area of expertise who is concerned about the well being of our Pacific Salmon and believe that negative impact of Atlantic Salmon being introduced in open net pens into our coastal waters and now the further expansion of that industry which has been recently announced has a number of negative impacts.
I give you credit for being a actual angler and not just a single issue public relations professional poster that we sometimes have turn up here to protect one industry or another. No, I don’t believe that you are specifically paid by the industry to work in public relations and communications and make posts. Forgive me but if you were you would likely be better at it. You do however wade into the debate in defense of the industry from time to time and you do work in industry management and thus have a personal financial self interest in defending the industry, that is just a fact. The industry pays you, you are dependent on it and it is somewhat natural that you are motivated to defend it. I have some empathy for your situation as everyone has to pay the bills and don’t think there is a lot of value in others pilling on at this point of discussion would seem to have reached its natural conclusion.
