I just can't believe how bloody miserable some people can be!!! In my humble and meaningless opinion the "shop name competition" was just a bit of fun and certainly appeared to bring a smile to quite a few faces. Who really cares who wins???

It's interesting how so many of the most negative, time-wasting, uninformative and generally miserable posts to this forum come from faceless and gutless pr**ks hiding behind a "nick".

These morons are too weak to stand up and defend their beliefs by proudly displaying their real name.

I have made my below-average income from kites for 17 years and I still have to endure such crap from morons like "waveslave".

His quote of "A $1000 gift voucher equates in real terms to $500 cash tops" is very interesting. Perhaps he would like to take a look at my price lists. Silly me..... what would I know??? I am a kite dealer which apparently equates in his mind to being a cocaine dealer. I rip people off on a daily basis. That's what kite dealers do isn't it?


Waveslave knows everything (in his micro-mind at least) ........along with a few other cynics on this forum. He really is a legend in his own lunchtime.


This is the reason why I, like so many others, only check out the forum every few months or so. There's just so much bull**** to fight through to get to the decent, positive informative posts that this forum was presumably designed for. I'm sure that most people will understand what I'm getting at here. If you don't agree then that's fine by me. Let's have a drink and an argument/discussion over it. If you manage to change my mind then the beer's on me!

It's not my place to tell Laurie how to run his website but, if it was mine, you would only be permitted to contribute if you offered your real NAME. Phone number NOT required!! Childish names like "Mickey Mouse" would be DELETED!

I realise that there has to be 'bad' in order for there to be 'good'. We can all accept the comments of BAD posters. It's not just the content of their lousy posts that is offensive it's their bloody ATTITUDE!!!

I have over 400 names and numbers on my contact phone list and I can only think of 2 or 3 who I might choose NOT to go and have a beer with. The average quality of kitesurfers is awesome. So many really decent, friendly guys and girls. My European customers often comment on the friendliness and safety-awareness of Perth kitesurfers. We are all a part of a very exciting sport and we generally seem to get along pretty well with other water users.

We just don't need these whingeing **stirring ****holes!!!!! They do NOTHING to improve ANYTHING for ANYONE!

I'm all for free press.......... but please notice that we don't report suicides (2,100 per year).................. for obvious reasons. I haven't seen a naked body on the front page of the West Australian yet! Reasonable censorship puts idiots back where they belong. UNHEARD!!

I'm sure I have pissed off a few people. My phone number is 9387-5676 (days). Please feel free to call and discuss your view.

Oh...... by the way...... I'm now on holiday and un-contactable for a month. Can't wait to get back to a PC one day!!! On second thoughts......bugger the Internet..


keep smiling

all the best

look this may be long winded, but a couple of other forums i visit have these sorts of simple rules and they are enforced.
those forums are friendly places " but with enthusiastic debate."
but the debate never turns to insults on character.
in anycase seabreeze is still heaps of fun. rock on.
p.s just a thought.

5. Comment on, or promotion of, content in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

6. Messages (posts) will be deleted without notice if any of the forum moderators deem the rules to have been breached or consider the post to be detrimental to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Whole threads will be similarly deleted if they contain multiple messages that break the rules.

7. Messages and or threads will also be deleted without notice if any user raises a valid objection to the content.

Hi Neil, lol
Hey,
I must have really gotten under your skin, man.
Unfortunately you have lowered yourself to personally attacking me.
Tsk,Tsk.

First rule of business: Stay Cool

In this crazy internet game-show we call seabreeze forum,
that means you lose and I win.
lol
Rules are rules, dude.

Now just because I choose to use a user id;
that doesn't necessarily mean I'm anonymous to all forum users.
Lots of folks know who waveslave is.
I have been around this WA windscene for quite awhile you know.
Probably too long.

Hey, you even know me, that's the funny bit. hahahahaha
I always say hi to you everytime I see you when you visit your fav kitespot.

Even Windforce knows who I am.
They have my full name, home address, email address and phone number.
But Windforce isn't abusing me and calling me moron.
No, Windforce is business-like, offering explanations and 'staying cool'.

Neil, you seem to have a few pressing issues.
That piece about you working for below-average income with kites for 17 years.....
Do you want to talk about it ?

But things can't be too grim, you are on holidays.
So enjoy and have a kite for waveslave.

PS.
So, when I filter out your abuse.......
What was your point again ?
Something about censorship ? lol

In the sea of obscenity, personal atackers, low level language...etc, there are still few man standing for a good quality forum.

This is what I meant.

Only two members are unhappy with the competition rules, prize & results.

Everybody else seems cool with it and we all had a good time?

NeilT: I understand where you're coming from.

Greeny: I agree. And everybody clicks "I agree" to a policy not that different from what you've posted. It's not about the agreeing, it's about living up to it .. e.g. drivers agree not to speed when driving a car, yet I'd suggest most of us have at least one speeding fine?

I believe most people are good and are here for a good time.

Occasionally, there is a flare up when an individual is trolling, having a bad day, not enough sleep, a bad attitude, a different opinion, upset, drunk or a combination of each.

I reckon these forums are great. People are the real meaning of life, and this forum is a great place for people to share their ideas - and each with a viewpoint they believe is right.

Enjoy!

I agree with ya Neil... nothing is worse than spammers promoting their hidden agendas under a nick name... and unfortunately there is so much hype & bull**** in the kite retail world... I can see why it pisses you off being an honest player with a genuinely awesome product... all I can say is I love kite boarding but am so glad I no longer wholesale the bloody things!
