Do the past posts not sort of prove the points being made about oppie parents?

For informed, mature journalism, I'll buy the magazine. For opinionated, sometimes immature subjective views on subjects which range far and wide, I'll read the forum. I know which one amuses, annoys and occasionally p*ss*s me off more, but I just keep coming back, even when I swear I'll stop wasting time and get on with putting those gunwales on...

Strange, really, I'd not associated this thread with anything controversial.

As far as I see it it's fine you to suggest that everything you have written
was a Joke when you have the backing of cliquy regular posters that have
signed up to the same poor views.

I would suggest that you chill out, and read peoples posts with more
maturity! As well as making fewer cheap shots at a simple miss type. We
can all drop down to the lowest common denominator very easily. Is that
patronising enough!

Mark Jardine... I would suggest you ask these regular posters to have a
sanity check, as it doesn't leave a good taste in the mouth with regards to
your magazine. This forum is becoming a cliquish, boring playground for
verbal bullies. With no space left for sensible conversation. I thought Y&Y
would be above that.

Listen mate, I think I responded in a similar tone to your original post - if you think it was dispropotionate to your diatribe then click the report button and let someone else decide. IMO we were attacking a type of sailor (who are difficult for anyone to defend) but you attacked us personally. What did you think would happen? A calm, reasoned conversation?

You implied that we are all imature (which on the whole makes people defensive) and we can't see how great a boat it is because of all the people it gets sailing (which I don't think we really questioned). Like I said, you need to read the thread again objectively (as I did, before responding) and then read you post objectively (if possible) to see how you came across.

Don't bring Mark into this, he has much better things to do. If you have a problem report the post.
