Tim,
Welcome to the Sea Kayaker Forum. When you registered you indicated that you had read the rules of conduct when posting. The rules that you seem to have failed to read would include the following.
3) NO PERSONAL INSULTS or ATTACKS. Sea Kayaker provides this site for our users to gather and discuss sea kayaking. You are free to disagree with others, but if you stoop to personal abuse or attacks, your post(s) will be deleted. If you ARE insulted, please do report the post to the moderator, but DO NOT retaliate.

4) CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM ONLY. When making comments or finding faults with products or services related to the Sea Kayaking industry all criticism should be of a constructive nature. If you have found a fault we welcome your ideas as to how it might be improved or perfected. Hopefully manufacturers will use your comments to improve the sport of Sea Kayaking. Posts that tear a product or service apart will be removed.

5) NO TROLLING OR FLAME WARS. Trolling and/or attempting to bait others into a flame war will not be tolerated. Any posts we deem fall into this category will be deleted and/or you will be blocked from posting.

I welcome your comments about sponsons when kept in a positive form with no insults, attacks or efforts to create a flaming war.

Failure to follow these rules will result in you being banned from the forum. We all welcome honest, well written, positive posts and I think you will find this a forum that could help your cause if you don't work so hard at alienating the group.
