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

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.

How many letters/articles criticising the Murdoch family make it into print doya reckon Rellie?

I have to say I can't recall Groper being abusive at any time (unlike most of us one time or another). He has been like a dog with a bone tho and has dared to question this site and the moderators. Holy fek?!

If that is the reason for banning then SB should take a real good look at itself and even the playing field for all contributers and lessen the pally pally bias that seems to exist.

Disapointing Loz. I can think of several regulars that have nothing but a nasty sh!t stiring and negative vibe that should be waaaayyyy further ahead in the cue for banning.

BTW, I'm not thinking of you here Rellie (although i think your personal attacks on Groper show an inability to let go of former friction and are a tad out of line) as you do post some genuinely informative items and don't make your sole intention of internerd biatch slappin. Yes and you post some funny as fek sh!te now and then too.

Galah.. you have ended up playing the same game as that which you criticise Rellie for.



Here's a simple suggestion:

Acceptable = "I think your argument/idea is ridiculous or even idiotic and here is my reasons why.."

Unacceptable = " I think you are an idiot/tool/turkey etc etc."

The diff is the former example draws attention to the view of/on the topic NOT the individual. BIG diff IMO.

3 strikes on the above shows a clear trend and you is outta here?



Has SB got the nurries (and time) for this?

Have your say.. but just maybe get banned ey?

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)

Can't please all the people all the time!

Just on this page there are two posts:

"More bannings"
and
"Less bannings"

He's onto login #4, and we'd don't ban people lightly. Not going to go into the reasons for banning, as it's not appropriate here. Sorry, but your assumed reasons are waaaaaaay off the mark. If it's important to you, please send me a PM.

BTW, if people got banned for "speaking out", waveslave (and you) would have been banned years ago!

Lighten up!

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?

Nice. ^^^

I'm sorry to say...
but PR's forum -content has hit gutter level in recent times.
6.5 thousand forum-posts have taken their toll.
lol.
Now every post of his is always a stupid pic,,,
never any text,,,
never any words,,,
No inner feeling.
Just a pic with the usual caption;
"You're gay."

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.

People who communicate through it (internet) are REAL, with real life, real emotions, real sensitivities, just like you. So why would you start calling someone fun king 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....?

I think PR has reached a level of forumness something like a black belt. He doesn't need words so much anymore.

Not really related, but I thought it was cool and I might have even beaten himself to it:
