HAHAHA, AmenMerrily said:The real Gouvernail already has a different screen name at Sailing Anarchy, and the real Gouvernail doesn't need to lace his posts with obscenities to express himself in a colorful fashion. We love the real Gouvernail, as whimsical as he may be. Accept no substitutes!

Opinions are not what's important here. We are all bound by the rules of US Sailing, and good sportsmanship. We all agree to abide by them by virtue of our entrance into a race or regatta. Competitor policed yes, but with an authority having jurisdiction to resolve matters. If you act like a fool you should expect to be treated with contempt, protests, suspensions or expulsions. If the competitor in question disagrees he can appeal.
Thanks for pointing out my self righteousness, I love it.

(thanks to google) its come to light that you are an east coast j/24 sailor (big surprise).
as far as i can tell youve never even stepped on a laser before.
how dare you come into this forum and state to the world that my opinion doesnt matter, when I, unlike you, are a dues paying member of the ILCA, and saw the subject incident last summer at cbyc.
go shovel your driveway, or tune your j/24 rig or something, and keep your negative, anti-first amendment comments to yourself!

Another thread recently discussed when or when not to censor, delete, or close a thread. IMO, this one has reached that point. There are no more posts that pertain to the original subject, and all it is now is a waste of bandwidth, with individuals flaming each other. I say kill it already, and let the flamers open up their own new threads as they see fit. Either that, or a moderator should start dumping the crap. If it has nothing to do with the suspension, burn it!
I don't think so!Merrily said:I believe that at SA when a thread gets out of hand, it is deleted?
