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)..... ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |

| With you all the way Jeffers. I've virtually given up with the forum, and have even toyed with the idea of "doing a Perkins" due to the prodigious and overbearing output of absurdly biased personal opinions declared as "fact" (when they are anything but) of a very small number of regular contributors. |
