as a relative newcomer to this forum, a lot has been humourous but quite a few comments are starting to get into the slanderous department.
May be the mods need to get the banning stick out, to make a few pull their heads in, and let this absolutely brilliant forum get back to its true purpose
my 2 c worth
The internet has and always will be a negative place. Its a little like looking for positive stories in a newspaper - its about 10% positive and about 90% bad news. Most people write about negative experiences rather than positive. For example, however people honestly go onto the forum and say "Hi, I've got XYZ kite and I've been using it for a year and nothing has happened to my leading edge" but almost every person who has their leading edge explode will post it here, particularly if its not replaced by the manufacturer. How about people posting that someone on the beach didn't fly their kite into a tree vs those that did? You get 90 posts about cabrinha riders flying their kites into trees and not 100000 about those that didn't. Thats why Cabrinha gets a bad rap, they've sold the most kites and they are likely to have had the most problems on the simple basis of percentage product failure.
The other issue is the water is becoming more crowded and will always come here to vent their anger about issues, problems etc. In the past these weren't an issue as the water was less crowded and people could sail around happily but now you'd be hard pressed to find a spot where there are only a handful of you riding and with it being more packed, the impact on other kiters by irresponsible riders is far greater. Just look at any of your local spots and compare them to 3 years ago. As an example, at one location here, there was one school operating and now we have 4.
Maybe the other side of the coin is some are too sensitive.
as Gruzie put it "its the internet it aint real"
I notice that gropster's been banned....again.
Is that cause his viewpoint is skewed or is it cause he is a tool. The latter me thinks.
If you act like a tool expect to be treated like a tool. Simple.
You are all douchebags and I am hardcore!
No sorry, got that wrong....
You are all hardbags and i am douchecore.
Again I ask "are seabreezers becoming like the CWA?"
From the debate that has been stirred up between some forum personalities on here I say YES.
Some of you carry on like old women. (sorry to the nice old ladies out there)
Do you have a nice floral blouse I could borrow Biggaydave? 
(Laffin with you not at you BTW).
What is a **** anyhoo?
Can't please all the people all the time!
Just on this page there are two posts:
"More bannings"
and
"Less bannings"
Fair enough..
I'm not sure why SG was banned initially and if the ban is still standing then he is barking up the wrong tree.. I do think it's strange that he keeps putting his head out to be kicked (learnt the error of that some time ago). 
I stand by my comments that 3 strikes for obvious abuse should be the go home zone. 
Now how do I get one of tose tongue poking out smileys?
Haha I actually laughed out loud then slave...
I can't beleive I have escaped the ban hammer, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
From what I remember Sandyvagina got banned for abusing Laurie in a PM or maybe I just pulled that out my arse.
this and that on this forum when your are out of anything intelligent? You wouldn't do it in real life, would you? So why can't we show each other the same respect here as we do on the beaches...? Just because here we get away with it....?
OMG, so that's what you do in windless days....
This thread sure drew out the cwa grannies!! You guys should pick your teddies up from the sand pit and go home for a nap!!
Thought this forum was for fun, yacking about kiting and helping noobs!
