In many cases, simply because they hadn't seen the part 2 vid.
I believe, that when people got to see the part 2, it was clear to most at least, that it wasn't just a thug tearing round the Solent buzzing boats, but an organised video shoot, with all participants in agreement, and clear of other boaters.
I also believe that when you saw the general concensis begin to change, and pass the 50% mark, that it was indeed no more than a harmless video shoot, you pulled the thread to save face!
OSO is a huge 'Global' notice board, you posted one side of a story, which many people saw, and re-linked to their sites, just like the one i've linked to above. But because you pulled the thread, the conclusion was hidden from them. I think this is a very poor show from OSO, and ask that you, or another OSO moderator, re-instate the thread, so that people can make their own mind up! If need be, remove the transatlantic name-calling you say exists in the thread (I don't think there is any, certainly not from me anyway)
I feel i'm now getting very bad press as a result of YOUR posting of my video, and subsequent removal!
Remember, it was YOU who posted it, not me! The video is hosted on my site, because there is a whole thread about the 'mid week meet' video shoot, and the first video of on board footage was a teaser, whilst the final edit was being produced.
The thread can be seen here:
http://www.boatmad.com/forum/showthr...=mid+week+meet
I understand that some (maybe many) will still see the video as foolhardy and bad for fast boating, but I think people should be allowed to draw their own conclusion, and at least they can hear both sides of this story.
so wadda ya say?

My 28 runs 71mph with the diesels, driving through Bravo 1's
You can see the build and a few pics
