100% agree. I'm really sick of ram lovers and their constant propaganda.

The identifying thing about 'trolls' , is that they are the type of person you chat to in a pub, then ten minutes later you wish you hadn't.

What did foilholio do? I mean to sue somebody.
Foolkookio was a notorious ram lover. His constant pro ram air lies and propaganda, under various avatars, upset MANY people. Eventually his underlying kookiness spilled-over into outright slander and invective. I DO wonder if ram-loving weirdness is part of a bigger problem, i.e. There must be some sort of psychological problem in the first place to deliberately choose inferior kites in the face of overwhelming evidence re the superiority of inflatables. Eventually the underlying psychological problems manifest in other ways, in Foilholio's case, completely unhinged slander and invective.

More evidence of Foilholio's psychological instability can be found at viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2393251

Toby, have you considered adding more moderators to KF?

He refuses to add moderators. Not sure why, but I think it's because he considers this his "thing" and doesn't want anyone else to control it? Something like that.

It’s simple:

I have my way to handle it.
The more Moderators the more ways to handle things.
At the end I will have more complaints then now.

Plus, I have the time (specially now) to handle the work.
It’s my job.

And you do a great job, Toby. But I m with Flyfish. Keeping it kite related is enough to argue about :)
