Gosh, could you post the official reprimand?


Sure. From my thread titled "OT: Not political but it will make you
mad..."

1. "The group has made a drastic turnaround, and will continue as long as
we
refuse to participate in the trolls."

2. "You'll probably find a lot more people interested in discussing sex
crimes at: http://www.sexcriminals.com/forums/ "

You're combining two different comments, if I'm not mistaken. You might
consider constructing your message a bit more carefully so that people
don't think you are representing those two combined remarks as a single
"reprimand."

I take credit for statement #2. If it was preceded by statement #1, I
must have been out of my mind at the moment (always a possiblity) as I
don't remember making statement #1, at least not in the same post as
statement #2.

It's not a reprimand, it's a helpful suggestion. You must have felt
very passionately about the issue to introduce a subject that
(according to your own thread title) was certain to make people "mad".
Had you followed the link I provided, you would have found hundreds of
people equally mad about sex criminals and a huge number who would have
expressed feelings consistent with your own. Nobody condones the
sexual victimization of others, most especially children. Why start a
thread that you admit is going to make people mad?
Wouldn't it make more sense to discuss sex crimes with a group of
people who have come together for that exact purpose?

This forum is supposed to be about recreational boating. We have raped
and abused it so badly in the past that we must surely be on the
"habitual offenders list". :-)
