The vile act of bilking that sick childrens charity offended someone.

Found an interesting post by Ned who two posts earlier had caught chit for coming to conclusions from hearsay re P1 incident. Mobilemercman and CS cautioned him.
His retort;
So let me get this right Chris, we are not allowed to discuss something that did actually happen at a race meeting, instead we must all act lovey dovey and say only nice things about powerboat racing. Gimme a break.
As much as we promote the awesome side of powerboat racing, there is also a need to highlight the less than desirable aspects of it as well. We probably do more than many others in promoting the sport of powerboat racing but I will be dammed if I am going to sit back and watch the negative side being swept under the carpet. Like Julie said in her own post there is always two sides to anything - powerboat racing included.
Chris - since the forum is yours I will respectfully not post here anymore and stick to our own forum since you only want Serious Offshore to be a place where nice things are said about powerboating. All the best and good luck with it. Ciao.
Ned
Odd turn of events.

I guessed he was talking about Chris Davies?
Bad guess. I should have looked at the 2009 date on the bottom. My bad

I'm a father of two, so my feelings go further than the thread itself. Think of your kids or family googling your name and finding that site.
Take a lesson from what bad others have done, and think beyond your own feelings and look at the bigger picture. Things like that go way beyond hurting CS, they can impact a lot of people that have done nothing to anyone.
Time to take a look back as to why the threads started in the first place. Kids charity money, lies, whatever. IMO, that site is not what good intentions are all about.

I would ditto that. Bad feelings and bad business and broken friendships are all expected when things like this occur.

This whole Sunkin thing has taken a bad turn. I still stand by my comments regarding his B.S. but I'm now questioning where some of our members are going in their pursuit of Sunkin. There was a huge over reaction regarding the "who is ding ding " activity and they were wrong and without a retraction and lot of creditability was lost.
