it is certainly a tough crowd in this forum, and I agree with you, but full and upfront disclosure (especially if you have a vested interest) goes a long way to quell "upsets".
And this is why I hate coming here in the winter.
Someone, somewhere is planning an event or building a fleet that doesn't include the brand or model you sail, so you go out of your way to be offended and post this garbage. Way to grow the sport.
I see this as someone picking up where someone else left off (amazing in itself), is promoting cat sailing and trying to build a fleet. These are all good things.
The fact that he's a dealer is a bonus. We need more dealers like this, not fewer.
