You know, sometimes people offer to organise things because they want to be nice to people who are interested.
Several people asked about sailing, because despite you not being interested in it Banzai, they were interested.
Jeff, very kindly, has made his yacht available, and has offered to take people who ARE interested out sailing.
So, we understand you don't like sailing. That's okay. How about you butt out then?
Sometimes a bit of banter can be humourous, but sometimes it just pisses people off. Sometimes when people get pissed off they think "You know what? I don't need this negativity! It's making me upset, and I have better things to do with my time." And they stop offering to do things for other people.
I recently flew to Perth. There is an active supporters group there. They have a facebook page which they all post to and it's very popular. At the pub before the game I asked them why they don't post in the yellow fever forums. Not INSTEAD of the facebook group, but AS WELL AS it...
...their response, to parphrase, was that they used to participate in the YF forums, but the negativity and abuse from people who were not interested in supporting the positive things people were doing annoyed them and put them off. I think it is really sad that passionate Nix fans no longer come to these forum pages and no longer contribute because they have had negative experiences being abused or witnessing negative posts and abuse.
So maybe you're just having a laugh? Maybe it amuses you to be abusive and negative. That's your right.
But please, stop and have a think that your behaviour might very well be turning people away from these forums. I really hope that you do NOT want that. If you do then we have a much more significant divergence of opinion than I thought.
