Is Fight Club Dying?

fc is getting fewer and fewer posts these days. dunno if from lack of interest, or nothing to fight about, or there's just a bunch of pussies on this forum who think a little ruckus is beneath them..............

shame to see a thread like that go the way of AFOC.............

The first page of FC said it all. That is - that pretty much everything about big, hard sailing is fun. A bunch of dudes I labeled the POS brigade (Prudes of Sailnet) spent years arguing the above point. Then, finally, it seemed to dawn on everyone that, indeed, big sailing IS fun.

So, for me, I'm far more interested in BFS and fun racing. Until either Surf comes back, or another wave of POS wants to try to convince the sailing world that it should avoid heeling at all costs or stay at the slip if it's blowing 25 - what's there to fight about?

We won.

#1 - The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.

It was fun when Surf was there. Rather lively eh? He would argue about anything, I think he would argue even when he knew he was wrong. It was fun.

That's the truth Jerry. And you should know - you were one of the charter posters in that thread.

Good times.

I wonder when Surf is going to get out of Sing-Sing?

Thanks SD, I keep looking over there (30 sec ago) and did not find anything I needed/wanted/knew anything about/felt strongly enough about etc to post anything....I need to buy a boat very soon so I can have some credibility.....
