Yes I did put that in the reason for the ban. I got caught up in the moment sorry for typing that and fixed it this morning. Sorry I didn't take the high road sooner. It's seems like they came over here to bully my wife Wendi.Quote:

This is not the reason why I brought hotboat.com back to life. The personal attacks on both sides of the fence must stop. Its childish. And it does nothing for the boating community as a whole. This isn't a gang. Its a forum where people can come and share their experiences, good times, events, and chat with friends. Not make enemies. We cannot stop everyone from coming over here and attacking the people of this community, but I can stop our people from feeding in to the frenzy. And I will. I apologize for the comments made by the operators of this site, and I can assure you it will not happen again. The member who initially used that word has been given some time off. The other member who was banned for no apparent reason, has been unbanned. Lets grow up a little people and move past this. Thank you. HBQuote:

That was good of you to apologize. I caught bits and pieces, didn't really get the bully vibe but I could have missed it. They did bring some 'spirited' bantering with them though.Quote:

That was awful and completely unacceptable:AngryFinger_7WSKJO:
Bobby, thanks for your interest. But this hotboat.com is not the same hotboat.com of 2004. And as you are aware, there were hundreds of people who initially signed up on the site, most of whom have yet to post. I am fully aware of the damage this episode has caused, and like I said, I am taking steps to correct it and ensure it does not happen again. And again, as I mentioned above, the member who was banned for no apparent reason, has been unbanned. Personally I'm not sure of your motives, as you rarely, if ever come here and post anything other than negativity. If you've posted content or positive comments, I sincerely apologize for my statement. You, like everyone else, are welcome here. But again, as I stated above, there really is no need to feed this type of activity. Whats done is done, its being addressed and will not happen in the future. Thank you.Quote:

I was out of pocket when this incident took place, but from the bits and pieces I saw (before threads were deleted) the prods seemed to be coming from both sides. Absolutely not an excuse to use the words that were used, but both sides were pretty excited. To quote a good friend, "words are like bullets, once you use them, they can't be taken back". Whats done is done. Now I can only hope we all can move past this and the people on both sides of the fence can get along.Quote:

I would do the same for Hot Boat if someone talked shit on another site also. I wear my Hot Boat hat and shirts with the same pride as I wear RD's shirts. I'm not here to make trouble.Quote:

However, I will no longer be part of this forum community where it's moderators have no self control or respect.Quote:

Is the word acceptable to use if you spell it with a "K"? Just checking for clarification on that.
Yes. But not in caps.Quote:

I'm glad I post off an iPod in the weekends because without a keyboard and large screen, it's tough to type out long winded responses which prevents me from chiming in on threads like this.
Unfortunately as a business owner, it's all about customer service which means keeping your opinion to yourself no matter what a customer says about you(or in this instance, chops a pic of your wife). Even when provoked as such, as there would have been no response if the customer had not initiated the action, a business owner must still take the higher road. There was nothing good that would come from that chop and she knew it.....customers do it all the time.....unfortunately the customer always complains when the reaction is made, even when it's the exact reaction they expected.
Don't argue with idiots. They will just bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Her454 your right about our interaction and I did not feel like you were part of what happened on our site yesterday. I do not condone and had no idea what was written about you or any of the other members by WMC. That is not his style and I'm sure all would agree. He was not happy with what Topless had done here and what was being said about me on the other site. I sincerely apologize for the disrespect you feel and you or any person for that matter does not deserve it.
