I read a lot of forums... and the F16 forum does the most in-fighting BY FAR!
Sort your **** out guys!
The F16 forum at formula16.net, where the F16 class members are, is far more tame. Discussions are civilized, agreements are reached, documents are published, votes are taking place. The problems of the F16 forum here at catsailor.com are two fold:
- Wouter abrasive way of stating stuff which is rubbing quite a lot of people the wrong way;
- People outside the class with an agenda trying to stir **** by stating stupid things (Minimum weight anyone?).
The sailors in the class can't care less about those people opinions: they are not class members and Wouter is not part of the class anymore.
The people I sail with in the UK are fine people. The people I'm going to meet at the Europeans in Italy are going to be great I'm sure. Only the ones nobody sees on the water sailing an F16 are apparently compelled to explain why the class they never tried is a bad idea.
So I disagree with you, it's not in-fighting. There is no in-fighting really, only people from the outside not wanting in and being butt.
Frankly, it's a mystery to me why this class is attracting all the nutters...
