That was awful and completely unacceptable

Karl, I hope you will reconsider your note. On behalf of hotboat.com, I sincerely apologize for the comments that were made, and I sincerely apologize if you or anyone you know was insulted. 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.

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.

I realize I have only 60 some posts but saying I rarely come on here and only post negative posts is a little incorrect. I log on at least 5 times a day and read ALL the threads. I'm not going to go back and check my past posts but I doubt there is more then 10 that maybe negative. Most will be aimed at people that have been banned form RDs place and come her and talk shit. 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.

Thank you Bobby. I need to buy you a beer next time we meet.

You sir, are sadly mistaken and I don't appreciate being accused of "bullying" anyone. It's not my nature, never has been and never will be. I do not even know your wife, but the last time I had any interaction with her was when I asked her about HB Tshirts.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow... its all about respect, self control and being adults, period. I didn't join this Forum to play "games" either. And I post in several different forums as I always have... I post where I feel comfortable and am treated as I treat others, with no guilt or pressure on "taking sides".

Again, incorrect. I was NOT involved in ANY of the conversations or posts that occured yesterday, period. And I certainly did not deserve the foul, disrepectful treatment from this website's moderators. I appreciate your apology, and I accept. However, I will no longer be part of this forum community where it's moderators have no self control or respect.

I'm sorry to hear that 454. Again, my apologies.

Is the word acceptable to use if you spell it with a "K"? Just checking for clarification on that.

Yes. But not in caps.

**Menace Marine** · 09-07-2013, 01:00 PM

Man you don't check the website for one day and all hell brakes loose. I have no idea what is going on now.

**ChumpChange** · 09-07-2013, 01:43 PM

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.
