The Foiling 101

It's a shame when discussion gets shut down on here by passive aggressive postings, effectively telling people to shut up.  What is the good of a forum without talking points and difference of opinion?  It just sends up an echo chamber when everyone (well, the few that are left) agrees.

[QUOTE=iGRF] If everyone agrees, then the place goes quiet, which is boring, we need dissent, which is what trolls are for, without trolls, you get what you have at the moment, not a lot going on. QUOTE]

The problem with trolling is that people don't like the animosity and vote with their feet.
I'm all for levity, banter & playful poking as long as it's not making others uncomfortable.
You make some excellent well reasoned arguments but then stand on the virtual table, drop your electronic trousers and wave you cyber wedding tackle at the polite folk on this forum.
That's why there's not a lot going on at the moment.

Could just go sailing I suppose .... anybody ?

The point of the forum is to fill in the gaps between sailing, chatting with like minded (but maybe with different views and ideas) people, as sailing is life consuming.
