Has this been going on, or is this in preperation for later in the season?

Seems we still have our winter crowd who know how to behave themselves mostly

This is seriously not necessary. What is your proof of -removed-?

It's been going on, and it will get worse as the season progresses.

"bring it on"

"OMG, it's coming here" with no proof whatsoever (say the NHC forecast)

those types of things that annoy many of us.

I don't know ....I think we are letting this wishcast thing get over blown...I admitt when I first got here I did a bit of -removed- it like I said before if you like tornadoes you want to see them same with canes...I know longer wiscast but I see where people would like to have one come to there area...They don't want the death and destruction just the experience...-removed- has never effected the way the storm goes anyway... 8-)

We appreciate your opinion. However we will continue the tradition of public floggings in front of the National Hurricane Center at sunrise. Second offense we roll them in the beach sand afterwards. :P

This is crazy. No need whatso-ever. This is a public forum last I checked am I correct? Is it not ran partially or mostly off user donations, and am I correct in saying if public users were banned half the people who post wouldnt be doing so anymore and eventually the board would be quite boring without all walks of life's opinions. I've used this forum for nearly 3 years (only 1 as a registered user) and this is one of the first posts to disturb me. People are Human. Natural instinct is to want the storm near them to experience it, especially weather enthusiasts. And honeslty I think anyone who thinks -removed- effects a storm needs to be banned.

:grrr: :grr: IMO This is a ludacris idea.

Wow you digged,digged,digged,digged down the pages. :) IMO there is a fine line from true -removed- which is wanting a system to pass over your house,to track as weather enthusiastics the storms and hurricanes mainly if they are fish storms.

I just like the shear power of them no matter where they are at...I wouldn't wish them on anybody..But it doesn't matter what I wish the storm is going where it is going..
