The fact that Jay and Ned can't play nice and Alec is involved in anybody and everybody's business quickly paled compared to the larger discussion of what the forums have been reduced to.

The use of mudslinging, threats, extortion, dragging in of uninvolved people, and the freewheeling airing of other peoples business are much larger and more important issues to many of us who have watched the forums spiral downward into the gutter.

The discussion of Alec's extortion and harassment tactics started on OSO. However, it was deleted.

That's when it came here from there.

If you are not interested in the larger issue, and you are interested in fast boats, one idea would be to avoid the bad business (agenda) sections of both forums. The comparison between the two and the suggestion that the nature of this forum is drama, while the nature of that forum is pure boating is quite flawed.
If you are disappointed that you couldn't learn more about Jay and Ned and their private business, call Alec. He will fill you in.
