The post was made/placed in straightforward good faith; there's nothing rude, offensive or obscene about it; there's no trading or deception attempted; it names no names, criticises no-one, is not libellous, offers no controversial opinion....
...and I've been treated really well by Swedes when I've sailed there.
What's your problem?

Eh! Get out of bed on the wrong side this morning BB?
I didn't suggest the post was any of the things you so eloquently say it was not and I'm quite sure you wouldn't have copied it otherwise.
My problem with it is that as yet another half-baked attempt to create yet another ports/harbours/marinas/moorings/anchorages database by someone who doesn't seem to be prepared to put any work in himself, it is doomed to failure and the exhortation to "Please feel free to spread info on this database to everyone you know. Together we can build a very useful list of harbors." makes it little better than spam IMO.
If he wants information on specific destinations for his second attempt at a Scottish cruise he can ask and people will respond as they always do. If he really wants to create a world-wide database he would do better to start with getting a few mates together to put up some Swedish entries and then asking if the rest of the world would like to contribute.
His first post more than a year ago was in much the same vein. Doesn't he have anything to contribute about anchors, the IRPCS or ensign etiquette?
I see no-one has added to the site as yet. You must have a lot of good info to share BB?

PS - I've met a lot of nice Swedes too.
