Jim, I clicked like for that post, i certainly did not see what you are saying into it, it was more a joke was the way i read it. I the same as you think that too much discord will harm the sites would love to get back to the harmony that once abounded here, and the pleasure it gave us. thats why i also clicked 74, kt
###jim i can only say the post was written as others saw it in humour ....jeez you must have been some pleasure to sail with .....just stop battering your head against all and sundry ...thats me finished on this listen to ted mateQuote:

I do find that on the nautical aspects of the site, when we get back to them, we share and respect each other experiences because we cannot, whoever we are, have an in depth knowledge of the others departments particular traits, although we can generalise but every ship is different and that difference sometimes influenced, for good or bad, by a particular head of department. Politics and religion will always sow seeds of discontent and disharmony, no matter how well meaning a particular scribe posts.
Ivan I only wish that you were correct.when you get a member calling other members "the wrong ones"and another one saying we are being attacked "by them" I would like to know who the "wrong ones" and "them" are.We get new members joining on a daily basis and yet we don't get any new posters,why is this ?is it that they don't like the flavour of the post's.If you look back on post's from some time back you will see that the site was far happier then than now why is that I wonder.

Cappy you never sailed with me to know if I was a pleasure to sail with or not.Once again letting your imagination run away with you and getting it wrong as always I wont enlarge on that.
Regards.
