BUT, what I do not agree with is the "moderator" flicking a poster or conversation that produces honest criticism of, say, a particular product. There is an F-boat forum that flicked the friggin builder when he made some comments regarding deviations from his plans.
Agree, seems a bit heavy handed to me. Even if the designer got uppity doesn't seem like a valid reason to flick him.
Would written insults hurled at others benefit my sailing? No, but well written digs entertain the crap out of me...
Totally agree, a well crafted and timed insult should always be appreciated. Even if the insult is directed at me I can appreciate it, only after I've had a good cry of course.
