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

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.

No-one has been "personally attacked", people who write on this forum live hundreds of miles apart,  what you mean is, comments have been made which you don't agree with.  THEY'RE JUST WORDS ON A SCREEN!!!  Put it into perspective!  I think GRF suffered more comments against him than anyone else on here, he just gave as good as he got.  If you don't want to be the brunt of his comments don't rise to the bait, but if he you have ago back, don't start wingeing if he says something you don't like!

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.
