Wouldn’t it be nice

This thread smacks of the current lack of individual resposibiltiy taken for actions from our current society. And the populations need for constant nannying.

The point of posting this thread was to get people to think before they post, i.e.to encourage people to be a little more honest about their real knowledge.......take responsibility.

Look at what has been posted and use your brain to agree or disagree. You can just as easily spout total crap as an expert as you can find an arguments 'silver bullet' as a novice.

Disagree...it can be difficult for a novice to sort the wheat from the chaff. The sailing fraternity seems to be one of the worst offenders when it comes to expert b***sh*t. 

Stop looking to others for confidence in your own decisions.

Nothing wrong with my confidence sunshine   I obviously sail what I like and not what fashion dictates.

This place already looks like a playground where kids flock around the popular individuals to castigate in confidence. Any potential change that increases that is very bad for real debate, in my view.

Exactly the problem with this forum, Point well put  If forumites put their money where their mouth was it would only decrease the potential. IMO

......I know it will not happen and I understand why..a fantasy.
 

.....You're right again Jim, I guess I was being a little naive expecting that level of honesty.     foolish me.

...on a slightly different tack, although related. Has anyone noticed how the feel (breadth of contributors?) of this forum has become much narrower over the last year or so.
