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.

Not sure what you mean by coming over here. Topless and Her454 were HB members since at least 04. You have some damage control that needs to be taken care of ASAP. BTW why was Shintoo banned.?

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.

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.

I would suggest that you say that directly to Her454
you seriously insulted someone very special to me and I would keep in mind that my kindness to you at last years Street Party comes with no guarantees for this year.
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.

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.

WHO is they?

No it is not right. And its being addressed at this very moment. People have been banned permanently and have been given time off for saying it. While I do not condone the use of that word, I also do not appreciate this particular game that's being played. Personally, I do not need the aggravation and headache. 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. HB
