An "insult fest"? Where?

So anyone who disagrees with you has lack of knowlege [sic] and is narrowminded? There are two sides to almost every issue, including this one.

What I see whenever the issue of offshores on Winni comes up here is several people expressing concerns about the "need for speed" that offshore owners like you seem to have, and the same few others constantly shouting them down for daring to express those concerns. It is very hard for many of us to understand why you want to replace motors that will go 70mph with motors that will take you over 80 on a lake that you SHARE with thousands of small family boats. Maybe you should explain that to us in a way we can understand.

I think you should step back a bit and try to be sensitive to the concerns of small boat operators who wouldn't have a chance in a collision with a large offshore. To dismiss their reasonable concerns just reinforces the image of offshore owners as arrogant and selfish.

IMHO
