Hiya Reefman!
I think there might be a bit of a misunderstanding here...
I put the link up to Catchit designs and shirts by my own , Catchit has got nothing to do with this.
 I was very impressed by his "product" ( shirts ) and felt the need to share in exactly the same way we compare for instance Shimano vs Daiwa etc...You dont delete these posts, altough they also "advertise" in their own right?
I like to share knowledge and info and cool or good products, and as this is a forum ( for discussions ) I wanted to share, that is all.
I have delt with Robin from Catchit and I think he is a reputable angler, I feel banning him for something he did not do is unfair, sure the tempers flew a bit , but hell , with all this political "kakkas" going on I think we are all a bit hot under the collar...I know I am!!!!!!!!
My intention was not to badmouth the sealine products either, I just have not seen it and did not know about it until this thread started.
Please "un-Ban" Catchit as I feel he deserves another chance here...If you have to ban someone for this , ban me for I was "wrong"...
Regards
Herman
A little unfair too I think? Perhaps others do not know catchit, I do. Heck of a nice guy.
I am not privvy to what was said on or off the forum, as it has been deleted. But perhaps some comments made by the moderator/s must have hit a nerve BIG TIME for Robin to reply the way he did - that is not usual from catchit I can assure you! Who moderates the moderators in this case?
This site is meant to be a fair, open forum to air one's views - right? I did just that, just like I would if I replied on a "Should I buy a Shimano Curado or Daiwa Viento reel?" thread.
If someone's shirts are cheaper than someone else's, or promote a shirt other than your own, don't ban a guy because you may feel you may lose a few sales? The thread asked for WHERE CAN I GET A SHIRT, not WHERE CAN I GET A "SEALINE" SHIRT ....
I don't know the quality of the Sealine shirt - in fact they look quite good because I have 2 similar ones - however I am also sure you don't know catchit's shirts either - I do, because I have 3 of his.
From what I KNOW, they are totally different, for different applications. It's like comparing a Penn reel to a bass baitcaster for sea angling - I feel catchit's shirts have a place in fishing, as do yours, and I also feel the "buyer" has a right to choose what he wants.
My post seems to have been deleted as well. This does seem a little "biased" in my opinion, which goes a bit against the "Air your views openly within limits" feel.
My friend seems to have gotten the rough end of the moderator's stick here, so should the moderators feel they should ban me too for standing up for a buddy, then let me know.
If not, I am sure an amicable compromise (and apology) is in order from both sides - then let's get on with fishing stuff shall we?
