There a serious thread led to a posting with the word "sex" in it. Do I prove my point?

Now I REALLY want to go to Bonaire to see what Walter has in mind for WW!!! His post further illustrates my point (unless it is all in my mind)!

i vote for option c:

Ignore it in some forums (New to Singel Divers.com, Nondiving and Other Topics Related to Being Single). Allow conversations to wander, but remind people of the topic and bring it gently back into line in other forums (General Diving, New Divers
Dive Training and Your Trip Reports).

I think this is best, too. (See how I just brought us back on topic??? :welcome: )

This is sad really. A thread to discuss staying on topic gets sidetracked.
I am really starting to stay away from this site lately because of all of this. Every thread I read degenerates into sexual content and flirtatious comments. I mean, I know its a site for single divers, but come on. It degrades the content that is here when you have to wade thru all the nonsense. Somewhere, there is a balance. I dont know where it is, I just know that I dont like the way things are going...

I'm sorry that you feel that way Lubold. We are making a conscious effort to make it better for everyone.

I just think that a thread about weighting should stay on topic for the sake of those who are actually trying to learn something here, instead of degenerating into a discussion about Darth Vader and Yoda among other things...
That was your thread BTW...

Well, If you dont know, I am a very active member of the Deco Stop and Scubaboard. When I first came here, I felt welcome, and it was an enjoyable place. Maybe I will spend more time over on the other boards so you guys can have your hedonistic scuba related sex board...

I know, and I am also the one who took it off track, so it doesn't bother me. I try to not to do so on others threads when they are serious.
