Kudo's to Webmaster D for having more patience than I would but methinks when it gets that bad it's time to introduce them to the appropriate authority (below) and say adios ...

My thoughts have been expressed by all the posters to this thread.

It simply boggles the mind to think that anyone would have the audacity to send such hateful emails. Even more mind-boggling that they send multiple times!

There aren't even words to express my sadness that our happy little sandbox has been visited by bullies. They're not welcome in this neighborhood, and soon they'll tire and wander off.

Thank you, Don, for all that you do. It is genuinely appreciated my many, many, many good folks.

A quote from Robert Frost:
"Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it"

Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

Don,
I echo everyones comments here. There is no reason or justification for the hostile and negative attacks on you or this site. There is too much negativity and hostility in other places so let those that choose that path stay there.

Winnipesaukee.com has always been a friendly place to visit and enjoy. All the thanks for that goes to you and your efforts. I know it will remain this way. So keep exercising your 1st Amendment Rights to keep it the way you want.

Don was identically attacked on an open public Internet boating forum on 04-07-2005 at 09:16 AM, and on several occasions afterwards.

There are several shameful links I could provide, but it would be another "red-flag issue" for Don. My guess is it's the same poster-insurgents from 2005.

The job of "The Mod" was never an easy one, and a local issue continues to make it no easier.

Just give us his or her name and we'll......... ahhhh just kidding.

Seriously though thanks for keeping the site up and running through all the adversity and chaos. I myself have treaded the line and I believe one or two of my comments have been pulled. No big deal I usually follow it up with an email apology to you and then I recheck my self and move on.
