Well, I just find it appalling that some members of our local sailing association are refusing to pay the damage their boat caused. This has cast a pall over the season before it even starts.

When the owner of the damaged boat complained both to the club and the Park District (after numerous unsuccessful attempts to collect from the boat owner, the former commodore), he was chastised by both organizations for doing so and publicly shaming the offenders by name, and for airing out his "private issues" in public.

I personally think it's rotten, as both the club and the Park District are shirking responsibility. The club for having unsportsmanslike members, and the Park District for never enforcing their rules.
