> [@Crazyhorse](#): > > Well that’s the problem - people talking about board wars always want to go after the Nazis. If you take on a board loaded with loud-mouthed fanatics the collateral damage is going to be severe. But we could start with a more reasonable opponent, say a small forum dedicated to watch repair or pottery painting or something like that. We would totally kick their asses. And they would probably just be like “what the hell are these people doing?” and not even attempt retaliation. Yeah, we need ourselves a Grenada. ---

Surely there’s some angling forums we can troll. ---
