I think what he is trying to impress upon people is that the Animal Rights crowd, and certainly the Commission pays attention to comments here an uses ignorant statements against sportsmen. 
The WWF group did that exact thing at the last commission meeting. Taking off color comments made by sportsmen on Facebook and other online forums and quoting them in their testimony.

Don't care. Sorry.
I commented in support,Done with it.
They can quote me all they want.
Quotes like this.....
1)The spring bear hunt was not a recreational hunt,that we already had a hunt to mitigate tree damage.
2)This doesn't give hunter fair opportunity through a draw and points system.
3)This damage hunt is only to address liability that the state has to minimize property damage. It is not an opportunity for all hunters.
4) A hunt such as the spring bear hunt would minimize waste of any game animals, considering all game laws would be applied.
Instead of just doing what's written on the permit. (MY OPINION).
Like said above don't care.
Don't like my quotes or opinions,don't read them.
This is a piss/poor opportunity that will not replace what we had in place to deal with tree damage.
It doesn't matter what you say,quote, science,email, comment, get on your hands and knees and beg,this commission will do whatever they want. Point the finger at me all you want.
But it's not gonna change any decision this commission makes.(MY OPINION)
If spring bear hunt cancelled has proven anything.
Proof is in pudding. This commission will do whatever,and my care button is broken.
I commented in support,some opportunities are better than none.
I just can't wait to see or hear the harvest story,about a hunt that I can't participate in.
