Wow.

Steve starts a thread about confronting people to protect the sport.

Bayflite asks about safety and if permits are required (in many cases they are not, and in some they are).

He is promptly shut down and labeled as a trouble maker, or a hater.

Interestingly enough, it starts with a post to the forum, which itself mentions how useless it is to confront issues on the forum.

So if this is the case, why a thread started to begin with?

Great example of how confronting people can fail, in a thread about how important it is to confront people, no less.

Having said all that, if you are going to talk you also need to be willing to listen.
