It is somewhat ironic that the best thread we have had on here for months is about the death of the forum . LOL

Really???

Whatever the viewpoint, and I have mine - the forum is done. See you on The Pin /Bitter End or whatever the flavour of the month will be. Last post of mine here. Bye all 👍👋🏿

Totally agree . Smile
Luckily I don’t see his posts on the Pin End or anywhere else on fb as he blocked me  LOL

Jimc, I always castigated iGRF for his probably illegal posts, illegal as in slander (is written slander ? ).Y&Y should have dealt with it.

I see the same thing on a non-sailing sport forum. One (mainly) poster raising levels of toxicity….that one was going downhill until the addition of a ‘foe’ (ignore) button.
