I am sure Les is not sweating over the few people that do not want to pay to help the site out and keep it operating.
I am curious though; are you saying that the only reason you don't anchor up is because if you did you would not be able to control yourself and wind up lurking in NBR totally wigging yourself out over it? Yet you have no problem throwing your insults from outside the circle?

I sorry I asked! I thought this would be a simple question I never intended on starting trouble. Please lets move on or move this thread into NBR. There is no need to attack someone for not wanting to buy an anchor, there are plenty of active members here that don't want to support the sight I don't have an issue we this regardless of the reason.

Dave - not attacking him for not buying an anchor, just commenting on his Attack of those of us who do. I don't care if someone has an anchor or not but it does get on my nerves that someone who does not because of their condemnation of NBR feels okay making NBR comments outside of it. And then chastise the owner because of it.

If he was "attacking" anything he was attacking NBR and perhaps some of those who play there. Not all people with anchors.
And if what he said constitutes an attack, then some people around here must be pretty thinned skinned.
And RO does and always has stood for "registered offender". Whether some of you care to believe it or not.

Just because you support this site by buying an anchor doesn't mean that you have to participate, or even look at, posts in NBR.
I love it when that is the "excuse" that people give for not contributing. If you don't want to fine, don't blame it on a lack of self-control.
For all of his faults, at least Bob was honest about why he refused to contribute...

You are correct. Just as buying an anchor should give you no special right to criticizes those who don't.

Even in NBR. While of course you can express your opinion, just having an anchor should give you no special right to "attack" those who choose not to get one.
But as we who were against the anchors in the beginning predicted, some of those who have them think it does. And seem to take any opportunity to "attack" those who do not.
"Besides, if it was in NBR, RO's who don't support the site couldn't see what we are posting"
Nor care.

Now that BoatFix is not in business and unable to support this site, the only way to keep it running is by contributing.
If the existence of BE means that little to you, then enjoy it while you can.

While I'm sure you understood this, clearly I meant I did not care what was being said in NBR. Not whether BE ceases to exist.
If BE is on the verge of going under and BF already has, why doesn't Les just sell the banner ad space that still advertizes Boat Fix on BE to half a dozen or so marine companies and rotate their add in it?
