A sad day for the YachtsandYachting.com forum

   Hi all,
It seems once again that due to a personal matter this forum has had to be subjected to moderation.

I do fully support the removal of the thread in question however I do wish that those concerned had kept it out of the public forum.

This place is a shadow of what it used to be. I firmly believe that this is because of the overly aggressive attitudes of some of the people here and their willingness to air dirty laundry in a place that is not suitable.

This hardly presents a good image to those who just surf on by and look in and certainly will not encourage them to sign up and contribute which is s shame as there have been some great threads and discussions here in the past.

I am not saying lose the passion at all (after all we are all passionate about sailing aren't we?) I am just saying don't make it personal.

Mark and Mags have always adopted a light touch here and only step in when they deem it absolutely necessary. For that I am grateful. Other forums I frequent are fully moderated and this spoils them (in my opinion).

How about we all go sailing/surfing/kiteboarding and then come back when we are all a little more chilled?

Just my 2p (as always).....
