This thread is pathetic and frankly I’m embarrassed to contribute to such a mindless discussion. The rules are very clear, and I really can’t see any room for debate about what constitutes suitable content. I would consider ending this thread before it fuels any more idiocy. |

To be honest i dont really care. I enjoy reading his posts about the ALto and hearing about his progress in dinghy sailing. Perhaps i'm thick skinned, or perhaps i'm part of the society that his jokes are aimed at instead of about. One thing i will say is that he is a great contributor to the forum, with some interesting views on the crossover between dinghy sailing and windsurfing. I dont know if anyone else had noticed the quality of the postings on the forum has dropped in the last year or so. It seems to be more about how fast this or that is, or how much sail area that has of late. |

Do you not think it is more a case that the silent majority (who have sensibilities and do not appreciate repeated personal attacks) have decided to remain silent on this issue rather than respond to posts of "why did he get banned, I found him funny". Personally (and I do mean personally), I found his latest musings to be full of venom, spite and vitriol. I dismissed it as the mutterings of someone trying to save as much face as possible and have left it there |

Hi all Just to make it clear as to why G.R.F. was banned from the forum; it was due to multiple complaints and continued breach of the forum rules and policies. We have a readership who might take offence far quicker than that of Sailing Anarchy or Boards. Graeme is welcome back with his new profile if he can keep within the rules, avoid personal attacks and stop getting complained about so much. I am left in the position where I have to respond to the majority and keep the tone of threads within the rules. Threads in banter can go where they want in my opinion. I have to accept that some actions I take will upset some people but I do not feel that I should have to put up with personal attacks for taking those actions that my job compels me to do. Mark |
