Do Kite Forums Reflect Who We R?

Postby Koolthing » Sun Apr 10, 2016 3:34 pm

I have to say Seabreeze.com is a bunch of animals. It must be a few bad apples BUT man have they tainted the well. We always talk about respect and such, but if these guys are acting anything like this at their local kiting beach, it's no wonder we are loosing the access battle.

Kangaroos and koalas learning to type? I knew they had good welfare but is it not a bit too much?

I think forums can bring out the arsewhole in people. They say things that they probably wouldn't on the beach. Hiding behind an anonymous logon.

On a side note the aussie joking psyche can be combative and offensive to the outsider looking in. So some of what might be construed as offensive behaviour is simply an aussie cracking a joke. As an example its a standing joke for aussies to say the new Zealander have sex with sheep. (theres 10 x the amount of sheep in nz than people) So several times per month I get sheep rooting innuendo chucked my way.

I dont know about other forums in other countries, but it seems to be fairly well etiquette here and you soon get an idea who everybody is :rollgrin:

Then there is always a few bad apples who "hides" instead of writing their name, while they post so much BS all over - and they can really make an utter mess on forums which is simply NOT okay....
Others you feel are bored as they post something and questions where you think "get a life" - but that is another issue :roll:

Generally it seems everyone contributes well and not hiding anything, on kiteforum :D
