who should stay, ose members vote

[Jeff Wohlt]

Just was throwing in my 2 cents is all based on the method not the people.

I agree Fightercat is a very good guy and a good customer as well.

I will drop him an e-mail as well. I am sure he has read these.

[Jeff Wohlt]

Well I just voted as well and am a bit surprised at the poll results.

[bigpapa]

i kinda thought the same jeff when i voted also little too close in my opinion

[ozzie-crawl]

but if the mods want to close and delete it thats up to them.
problem is me being a Aussie we go for the under dog.
and me being me dont like seeing people who contribute leaving this great forum
because of some guy whos just a w***er

[bigpapa]

The poll doesn't say anything actually. Aren't the people voting for X to go in reality meaning that Fighter should stay....and those that are voting for Fighter to stay, by default are voting for X to go??

The question should have been the same for each member to actually mean something.

Question #1 should have been; Should X go ?
Question #2 should have been; Should Fighter go?

Then the results would mean something.

As the poll says right now, everyone wants X to go.

[ozzie-crawl]

its called stacking the odds

[Doby]

Fair enough

So this is a no win situation for X

No great loss.

Anonymously I was dropped a line and asked to view this thread. So here I am. I'm flattered Ozzy! I really didn't meant to pit myself against anyone. I just don't deal with his type well. I know my reactions to that type of behavior are... well. Bad.

I planned on leaving to help avoid my own bad behavior. Even started to get mad at the moderator. Silly.... and childish... but, I haven't dealt with this kind of spat since I was in gradeschool and started acting accordingly. Quickly realizing it, I figured it would be best to just move along and try to stay apart from it. Way too temping to keep stirring the pot!

I don't know if any of that makes sense or not, but wanted to at least attempt to explain my position. I've been absolutely delighted with the vast amount of knowledge on this board and quite impressed with the level of devotion to this sport that has been demonstrated. It is an honor to accept the invitation to stick around and continue to document the boats I'm building this summer.



Hey Jeff, I agree. I'm sorta sad to see him go, I'd much rather of had him shape up and learn from his actions. For some people, that's a life long challenge... I wish him well on his journey.


For the mods:
Could you please remove the infraction that pops up every time I log in? Pretty please? I know what I did wrong as it was done on purpose and I'd really prefer not to have any reminders of that type of activity. I'll clean up any threads I see with mention of this spat.

[ozzie-crawl]

your more than welcome
i just couldnt sit back and watch some body leave over what happened.
i have been in your position as well on forums.
what i did may seem to some a bit extreme, but i believe he was here only to cause trouble and blow his own trumpet.
i wish him well and hope he finds a forum more suited to his disposition.
i think this thread has served its purpose, welcome back fightercat57

We are all culpable in some form of doing what we are all complaining about. This forum is about giving and sharing ideas no matter how bizarre some of it may sound. many inventions, where discovered not by always following the laws of physics or the safest routes, but by experimenting with ideas less conventional.
Lets all refrain from this bashing pow wow and get back to what we do, which is to contribute to our fellow FE. What is accomplished by starting a thread like this. I am here to learn and to share, and not to judge anyone on his or her postings. if the moderator does not like a posting he can just simply erase it with a kind explanation. i have had a posting erased, and you never hear a complain from me even though i am still is in the dark as to why.
I suggest that the Moderator take a more proactive role to stop all this nonsense. just sitting on my PC. to write a response taught me nothing about F.E boating. But just how petty we have all become. lets all stop the frivolous banter! fhs.

Welcome back ...

I think this was more of a joke. None of us mods took it seriously. No decision was going to be based from the results. Either way its sad to see someone leave.

One thing to think about, I think of this forum as a club. We join clubs because we have a need to find people that like the same things we do. We also join clubs for friendships and info. If you are not fitting in with a club its not a problem, you leave and find another club. There is nothing right or wrong with this. Not every club is for everyone. X has left and I'm sure will join another club. We wish him the best of luck.

Good call Steven

Hey Steven, I am glad that you are looking at this in a much more moderate fashion. not so sure of others when you see stuff like this quote!
" i believe he was here only to cause trouble and blow his own trumpet". Not in favor of such pollutionous diatribe. Is it just a A Freudian slip?
