I've got some catching up to do...
Everyone knows if you want to compare a mod or admin to a dictator it's ALWAYS Hitler. Quit being a newb bret.
Can we make the ultra guy a mod so he can get all the snide remarks he deserves too? I really blasted the guy earlier in the week and didn't get a single infraction, it's like his feelings don't count around here or something.
All I have to say on this whole subject is this.
I have 2 infractions for insulting a person when in fact I only insulted DikWiggler.
Not fair.
Oops, did I just do it again ??
Anyway, when did this place get all serious ?
We're all adults (age wise, mental wise,........ not so much.) so why do we need to be watched and sent to the corner ?
Everyone of us is a bit different (ain't that a wonderful thing), some totally PC while other tend to use a more colorful vocabulary.
Is that so bad ?
Are we really trying to protect the children ?
Is my dinner ready yet ?
P.S. It is OK to insult me and I don't wish for any member who does so be punished by an infraction or worse.

Because not everyone responds in the same way. Some people end up threatening physical violence (yes, I know, it's the internet) and really negativity just breeds negativity. Some people are very negative here and whole threads turn into flamewars (very recently) and then spill over into legit threads (also happened very recently) and just craps the place up.
The same could be said for why do we have cops or military? Aren't we all adults?
For questions on how to use the site, please post in Site Info
Use the Report Post button on a post if you need it moved or otherwise
I understand but my thing wasn't aimed as much at the admins as other users.
Some need to grow some thicker skin, others should learn how to skip a thread that gives them grief while others still should perhaps grow up.

At least I am not the grand prize winner BK.
I am going to say this and 5 minutes later a flame war will start and this thread will get locked.
I have fully deserved all 7 bannings!!! If I know I am 100% right about something-I will fight for what is right. (on the internet of course, in real life I am a big panzy azz). A perfect ex was the BJ thread-The really smart people on here 'got it' and the not so smart people made me out to be a moron. The dumb part is a smart person decided to make me out to be a moron and I called him out on the thread and then I joined the banned. lol If I am not sure about something I keep my mouth shut (most of the time).

Aiming high!
Here is my stupid reccomendation for the night-
Let's say 1 more new section gets started named 'advanced driveline'
The only way you can start a thread in this section is if 'the panel' has ridden your ski and has the OPINION that it is one of the more respectable skis they have EVER ridden, then you are invited to post in 'advanced driveline'. I think this would really help the newbies be able to know what is heresay vs what is known fact for working and working really well.
At the same time-I think thats also where alot of crap begins, you have amateurs that think they know arguing with seniors that really do know.
BTW-I am a amateur that has learned who to listen to and who not to listen to.
Aiming high!
Oh great so now we need a group of elitist on here and we need a new sub section for the elitist to hang out so they won't have to worry themselves arguing with the commoners,I thought we already had that they are called Superjet owners. I think this forum is divided enough already.This idea is crap Gil,sorry buddy just calling it like I see it.
The other big issue with the Gil idea is that just because you have a well set up ski, does NOT mean you're are a great ski tech/tuner. It might mean you just had the $$ to throw at X-Scream or someone else to build you a boat.
Superjet owners are no longer elitists with all the AM hulls being built nowadays anyhow.

why not just get rid of these "trouble" people and be done with it?? this place kinda sucks now cuz almost every thread is packed with sensless bs. i try to come on and learn about my ski, or how to fix somthing and usually gotta read thru pages of people bickering over what?? weather or not they are right? most people use the x as another tool in the toolbox, but some just have nothing better to do then to bitch and complain and stir the pot. GET RID OF THEM. back when i joined in '06 everyone was cool and willing to help out one another. i almost cant stand it here anymore....if it werent for all the info and advice i dont think id ever come back.

if you cant flip or roll your super high dollar ski your just a wannabee.
Are their more insults/infractions during the WINTER months, or is this normal through the year???
Debating and insulting are two different things.
We cannot hid behind a false names.
Funny thing is, just the other day I get a PM from somebody from this site on PWCToday, saying that "Bob" is a fag. My response, "what you do this time, you must be banned again. (words to that effect). I go look, and nope, it was not "Bob" but "fred" who gave an infraction which resulted in somebody getting banned. Before that I get a similar PM from same person calling me a puzzy or something like that for giving this person an infraction. And yet I had not even been on the site in hours. It was "Ralph" who gave him an infraction. Funny thing is, this person always says he did not do anything wrong, that we are out to get him.
Personally, calling me a puzzy just makes me laugh.
Answer me this. If your husband was on your works forum, how would you deal with him.
