Whoa. Got a bit out of control. Everything but a lynch mob .. all running on rumour! :-)

In summary:

- Happy1 is not Kitepower

What happened:

- Happy1 pretended to be Kitepower by using Steve's familiar sign off

- Some crew "ran with it" as fact, and started calling his business names, presuming it was Steve & that he was pimping. I even heard that someone was threatening to call & tell his mum on him.

- At no point did Happy1 make any reference to kitepower or products that kitepower sells.

Crikey you mob. It's fresh after Christmas & New Years, a time where you're looking forward to the new year.

It's summer, we're wearing shorts, wind is here (mostly) and we're here to discuss the good time of Kitesurfing.

Enjoy!

p.s. Sorry if you just went and bought fresh popcorn...

Actually I think everyone is Steve and that the entire Forum sits on Steve's computer's Hard drive. It's a game for people with multiple personality disorder. Steve has hundreds of logins and none of this is real, only to the voices in Steve's head.

Good winds,

I'm Steve too!

for crying out loud- there are so many psychos and loose units out in cyber land that a pseudonym or alias is the safest way to use these sites......

Get over it and move on.....Laurie is right- last time i checked we do this sport for fun so chillax and enjoy the vibe...

cya- don't wear a death leash, good winds, i'll be back, eat my shorts.

A suggestion for the prominent retailers and other site sponsors:

If, somewhere down the track, some anonymous poster seems to be posing as you, come out straight away and assure the rest of us that it's not you and request the imposter to back off. Nip it in the bud rather than let it fester. If you don't get onto it quickly then it's not unreasonable for folk who have no better information to assume that it may be you and that you're trying to get away with it and/or let it blow over.

For those who peg me as a hater I'll say it again: I've greatly appreciated advice I've had from Steve over the past year and a bit well before I'd bought anything from Kitepower. I think his role as a knowledgeable site sponsor is valuable. I've had two retail experiences with Kitepower, one online and one visit to the Sydney store recently and both were positive experiences. (Steve, I asked if you were in as I wanted to say hi and put a face to the name but you were out on an errand.)

I've posted on this matter purely because it seemed to me that there was a lot of good stuff that may be spoiled by a lapse of judgement and a desire to push a bit hard.

Was it Steve, was it someone else? Perhaps we'll never know the truth to all this but one thing that is true is that we can only go on the information presented, and if this is dodgy information then there'll be dodgy consequences.

Peace,

Dojo

look mr "anonymous let it blow, with 17 posts all on this topic credibility-meister," find the post where i hated on steve. find the post where i did anything other than challenge the wisdom and integrity of using a double login to present views anonymously in support of vested interests.

i haven't deleted any posts, although one disappeared when laurie pulled a thread earlier today, so the evidence is there for all to see. now put a decent case for yourself or p!ss off.

djdojo said...

Hmm. Steve, I've appreciated the advice I've gotten from you directly and indirectly via seabreeze, and on the phone on one occasion. Although you're a retailer with vested interests I think you also offer useful and well-considered perspectives. However the persistence with the KKK thing and the use of "Happy1" to prop up "Kitepower's" posts (see recent thread about 5th line safety) sullies for me what would otherwise be an excellent role that you play on seabreeze.

I appreciate that it may be frustrating to always have to be seen to be responsible and professional, even though plenty of haters will just flame away whatever you say, but perhaps that's the price to be paid for the exposure that you get here? The personal is political at least some of the time, so perhaps some sentiments are best kept to yourself or just shared among your local crew?

Put in more crass terms: Can I, in good conscience, buy kites from someone who thinks using "KKK" is funny and/or appropriate on an internationally visible forum? Can I still take seriously the advice of a retailer who feels the need to push things so hard that he uses another login to do it?

Personal and professional integrity is not always easy to maintain, but for that very reason it's all the more valued when it occurs, for this little consumer at least.

Now why would someone do that ? ^^^

Sorry dude,
I don't buy it.
Was that the best story you could dream up on short notice ?
Anyhow, it doesn't really matter, hey ?
The kitesurfing forum is just a stupid internet game-show featuring all the usual kite-pimps, brand whores, trolls, bashers, whiners, axe-grinders and swindlers.

For those who can't read between the lines; 'let it blow' is steve. I find it a little sad to back yourself up with an alias.. As djdojo said the smarter option would have been to login with your real account and clear things up.. Anyways looks like the big man at seabreeze has got your back

kaleidoscope,dont make up storys and jump to miss guided conclusion.
Have you not learnt,
this is how all this started.
Yawn
over it,
Im going surfing

you kiddies can stay here and make up your little stories.
enjoy
peace,love and pepper spray

PS If all this worries you so much,why not be a man and ring up kitepower and speak to Steve in person.
Intead of dumping on him on a international forum for all to see????
