Aggression tends not to be a good answer no matter how right you are.
I remember working in Canningvale Prison about 19 years ago, and I was running anger management groups, and was always saddened by the stories of good blokes who'd lost it when they were in the right, and then paid for it with severe jail time.
One guy I spoke to found out one of his good mates had had sex with his girlfriend and he thought he;d teach him a lesson with baseball bat, and it cost him 7 years in Canningvale. Another guy came home to find all his brand new TV and stereo set had been stolen, walked down the street to the local Drug House, and saw his gear inside. Went back with his shotgun and shot the place up, got 3 years in Canningvale for his righteous anger.
Moral of the story, no matter how right you are, aggression is rarely the answer, and you go from being in the right to being the bad guy, and sometimes you do jail time for it, or worse!!Select to expand quoteWindxtasy said..
Just let it go everyone.
Russ has had his rant, had some explanations and some satisfaction and generously apologised.
end of story.
If you are going to use this thread to troll and stir up discontent then you are no better than either of the agro people mentioned.
There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the award for the best grown corn. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.
“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.”
So is with our lives... Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all...

Thanks everyone for the replies, most of which were very helpful and aimed at a positive solution and being very reasonable. Appreciate this. The few others, labelling me without knowing me or the story, thanks for nothing. I can't blame you though. I learned something and perhaps you can be less judgemental towards the next person who enters your forum being honest and direct. I get the agressive and agitated attitude bit as well. All good. Will just assume it was a one off and chill out. Cheers everyone.
It's all very funny but why the aggression on the water, I for one windsurf because I enjoy it.

All in All - a very balanced discussion- most water users can tell you good and bad experiences - give and take - live and learn
Up to a point - If protection of loved ones is an issue - Different story - However as the 120 kilo fighting monster in the Scottish kilt
would constantly preach to me in my formative fighting years - And scream in spit filled Gaelic "Laddie when confronted -If you can talk
- walk- or run away do it - If you canna - ya piss weak four year pathetic babbie (actually I was five - but never let on) then he would snarl
again "It's All in - Full On - To the END- and Laddie ya ****e ridden beauty - Beware the Consequences"Of course he wasn't all good as he would then reveal those pavement size manicured teeth gaps - change to a completely different and
beautifully modulated accent (Polish maybe) and sing quietly in the most beautiful angelic voice .... till I ran or crawled away - I know several Windsurfers that have had near death clashes - one actually painted the Pearly Gates in a dodgy Fluro green
but then decided to arise and return as he loves Polish sausages - he's still smiling and is convinced that the Kite Girl that took him out
is sending him 12 kilos of sausage each month in atonement
Who else could be sending these large meaty packages long distance considering freight costs (Oil prices may be a factor)
All the beach worshipers call him Lucky and never neglect to polish Lucky's wheelchair on every meeting.
And I stress all polishing fees are invoiced in a considered an very understanding manner
Only worry is last time I saw Lucky someone had nicked a wheel _ The Pirate assured me it wasn"t Aldo
The Pirate never tells Lies - Never Ever - Neither do Dead Men
Christ I feel better already
Guys.

I have found my mast
Ok.. You can carry on fighting now....

The Queenslanders have said their piece and now the Irish are getting involved FFS!
Isn't this the point in the thread where someone is supposed to mention the Nazis? Or 9/11? Where's Bono?
No two diciplines of wind powered water activities in the history of mankind have clashed more than the wimdsurfers and kitesurfers of Safety Bay.
The Cronulla riots have nothing om the carnage that goes on every Sunday in the pond.
Half naked overweight windsurfers charging through the waters at unsuspecting lithe, fit, free and happy kiters.
How ironic is the name Safety Bay now when to enter the pond without being tooled up would be considered foolish.
