I started conversing on this forum because I bought a trawler and I wanted to meet others that have the same brand and learn more about trawlers and passage making. I also found the folks here to be very polite, helpful and generally a cut above other similar forums. I don't use The Hull Truth anymore. Kind of rude over there. At least that was my experience. I was having trouble doing something I forget now but instead of helpfulness I got comments like "what's it worth to you?". I finally gave up and never went back. I have no patience for sarcasm. The moderators also showed a thinly veiled contempt for certain brands. I was shocked at that. I'm not a thin skinned person. You don't run a business with employees for 30 years being thin skinned. I just don't like to waste my time with that kind of behavior anymore. I know there are a lot of nice folks over there. Many of them frequent both sites. But when the moderator sets a tone like that it's time to go elsewhere.
