bad apples
Out of the thousands of members and guests on this forum, both seeking and giving info freely to promote the sport in a positive way, we seem to have
a few bad apples that only want to stir controversy. I use this forum for info , relaxation and to keep up on kite related info, if you don't have
positive input about kiting then go to some blog somewhere!

I've noticed that the " haters " have been hugely ignored lately and think it's the best tactic. If they don't find an audience they will take it
elsewhere.
I have been guilty of replying but think I've learned my lessons.

my views thats awesome, and your right. What I wont stand for is you telling me what I need to do, my right...............nuf said lets

It's not you tridude, or anyone in particular it was just a generalization of some attitudes when replying to posts

there everywhere ...
i've gotten a lot of personal attacks. i think of it as they are just jealous.
everyone has their own opinions, right or wrong, its all debate. PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE NOT WELCOME (excluding the Dakitez and Rip Show, since its just
plain funny).
just curious how long it takes or how many times until someone is banned? you can ban someone from forum its would be worse when you would have to
share riding locations with them.
... its lonely up here.

Even with the few "bad guys" on this site, this is honestly still the best forum i have ever been apart of. I love how everyone is just so nice to
each other.

I am pretty sure G-Force was refering to a general feeling that has been around for a while. NOT a specific person.
I have felt it to. I had to take a break I was so tired of it.
During my break I think I decided that I am at fault for playing into the traps. These folks are only out for attention. Won't change or let things
go. Left alone they accomplish nothing.
I hope Folks will learn from my many mistakes. If you leave the bad apples alone and in the dark they will become compost ! :duh:
