I have to say, this whole CS/SOS episode has been disconcerting. Hints of this were just coming down when I had to take a break while attending to a family medical emergency.
Being a relative outsider, one has to read all they can on an issue and try to figure out the truth. I find myself reading the thread each day wondering what turn will come next. It was nice to see the "Changes" thread at SOS, but after all that has been said and the time delay, I admit I was doubting the validity. Seeing the thread poofed by an "accidental" delete by an Admin with way too much experience is just too fishy. One of the reasons I stopped visiting OSO for awhile was that any mention of SOS got your thread poofed or worse. It was nothing more than Communist redaction/restriction of speech. SOS allowed us to criticize anyone and anything as long as it was healthy and informative. They did clamp down when necessary. The dialogue about CS and SOS has not been fun. It hurts when you make a mental commitment to something and then see the foundation blasted apart. I felt it when the group broke off from OSO, now again as the group breaks off from SOS. The whole purpose of SOS was to real, honest and serious about our boating hobby/profession. Not let deception and commercialism rule. Unfortunately, what we have all witnessed is the exposure of deception that exploded right from the core of the foundation. But to have a thread started on SOS about "changes", then have it poofed "accidentally" once a dissenting view is posted sounds too much like the old OSO. And if that is how it will be at SOS, might as well hang on OSO and enjoy that nonsense with a larger crowd of boaters. I've never met CS personally and I've never had anything but good interactions with him online. Maybe that is due to my position ouside the inner circle. Or maybe due to my Patron level of commitment. There are two main reasons I want CS to come forward with evidence of his boat ownership: 1. He claimed ownership of so many boats as a means of credibility. 2. I very well could have been someone who questioned something he said in a post and then been the target of a direct, viscious and derogatory post berating me because he has owned so many more performance boats than me. This may all sound petty and redundant. But considering the breadth of allegations, I really would like CS to refute these boat ownership concerns. It will go a long way to refuting what people have been saying about him and allow the rest of us to start balancing our opinions. So I ask you Chris, as a Patron level contributor to SOS who has no beef in this game, and who has never had anything but good dealings with you in the past, please come forward with some proof and discredit these guys. |

LOL. My 13 yo son got into bowling when he was about 8. He just liked it. Now almost 6 years later he's a champion bowler and has a prof coach 2x a week. He is 13 with a 240 avg :0!

The Big Lebowski :party-smiley-004:
Without question, one of the top 3 worst movies of all time. We sat through it at home, wondering when the greatness would appear that a few talked about. They must have had some serious hallucinogens. |

There is a "What do the members think?" thread over on The Dock on SOS. Place this exact post there or in a new thread on SOS. There is a reason you asked the question here and not there.
