The kids are just enjoying a bit of harmless fun...I'm guessing it was accidentally posted in the wrong forum?

I'm enjoying reading the responses...although he'll be making sure he posts his questions in the right forum from now on!

I didn't give you a red thumb but the reasons for the replies 'giving him a hard time' as I see it:

(1) posted in wrong forum - red rag to a bull, considering the p!sstake culture we have in Australia
(2) poor spelling - ditto
(3) regardless of any unhealthy animosity between kiters and windsurfers because there is a rivalry of sorts, there will always be healthy / funny bagging of each other going on

I don't think anything in this thread is nasty.

Looking at the O.P's thread in kitesurfing (posted after he realised his mistake) there is some bagging going on and 2 replies area quite nasty. The kite forums users' nasty / smartarse / snide comments to each other (in general) is quite surprising I think

or something to protect them from the ragdoll

Don't bother...... they are a different breed and you will come back here pretty fast

I was wondering how long it would take to get a red thumb for this one..

No red thumbs from me...I save those for the few 'special' contributers to these forums!

They're not for you either Mark (in most cases)...although the trend to red thumb you was catchy a few months ago.

Well, it looks like a red thumb is cancelling a green one (and vice versa).
Can we actually check how many ticks ?

I like thumbs red or green. It means i've done my job

Kitesurfing is set to feature on an upcoming Simpsons episode.
That rascal Bart is going to try to sel Fland(ers) a bow kite. In reality the producers are going to use this as a link to that "controversial" theme that in an episode of Seinfeld led to the immortal phrase "Not that there is anything wrong with that"
