I had a text from JD at the end of August and in it he said that he was taking a break from YBW.
A very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly guy, an unnecessary loss to the forum. ?

No, he flounced a month or two back.
I don't think I agreed with everything that RichardS or JumbleDuck posted, but it woud be good to see JumbleDuck back again.

I known Richard for some years we met when we was cruising Croatia ,
we spend time together and had meals with his family,
I can honestly say in normal life the guy is a real nice guy just like most of us.
All of us at some point disagree with someone here ,
it don't make us right or wrong it's our option on that particular posting .
as I have found to my own experience someone who just don't see eye to eye here you met them in real life and hit it off .
I not heard from Richard some months,
I contacted Richard after reading this thread have received an email back and I have to say I am shocked what he told me.
To the extend that I am a shame of being a member of YBW Forum,
If that's how they are now treating members .
I don't for one min disbelieve what he said especially has he back it up with emails from another forum member.
I was once ban for life my self and had to go to the editor of Yachting monthly to get her to look into it .
I believe to this day the Mod that ban me just took a dislike to me and my posting . To this day I never got an explanation why I was ban.
This may get me ban again and it does so be it .

Oh dear. I have probably missed some of the "nasty stuff" and don't like any bully behaviour. But it is a shame if we lose some of the more entertaining, provocative posters......JD and Richard S amongst many. YBW could get really/even more boring! I stick with it (I am boring too ) but it ain't as fun as it used to be.

Wow, like JD, Richard was a treasure trove of practical insights, especially engines and electrics. Born out of direct experience as he used to restore old landies.
Meanwhile the forum is starting to become a bit sad, a bit repetitious, and a bit past its sell date really.
Pity

No, you're mistaken, you just haven't been reading my posts, which are usually fresh, original and sometimes rather jolly.

Must admit that 2010 this place was a mine of information. Checking in daily was a delight. I tend to lurk and chip in infrequently nowadays. More political argument than supporting the yachting community.

I also have an old Triumph and JD has given me good advice and offered spare parts on a few occasions. Top bloke. I hope that the more argumentative forum members feel a pang of conscience if reading this thread.
