The "Gang of Seven" should go to jail for 90-days, and see if it
improves
rec.boats.
There are seven personalities here causing most of the trouble. While
the
number of people involved in the general ruckus certainly exceeds seven,
it is
my opinion that the following posters, (listed in alphabetical order),
are
primarily responsible for the increasingly nasty tone and OT content of
rec.boats. Others not listed below are merely co-dependent:


Gould0738: May know a little about boats, but contributes to general
chaos.
Starts few OT threads, but participates freely. Encourages the liberals
and p's
off the conservatives. He can be extremely vindictive. Seldom wins or
loses
graciously. This reckless, maverick, self centered personality bends
and/or
disregards most rules that others rely on to establish social structure.
His
free-for-all attitudes are generally incompatible with the NG format.

Harry Krause: A perpetual troublemaker who views rec.boats as a personal
playground. Talks "down" to everybody even when not trying to do so. A
major
originator of OT posts. In common with the other members of the gang of
seven,
he puts his own need to express opinions and
argue points above the general welfare of the group.

Jim: Has appeared in rec.boats as at least two separate personalities,
both of
them
extremely combative.

Pot-kettle-black

Contributes to the negative atmosphere by firing off cheap
insults at posters he disagrees with.


Actually Chuck, to the contrary, I point out those left wingers who
insult
those they are responding to instead of addressing the issues at hand.
Please point me to the cheap insults I fire off at people I disagree with.


Has very little actual boating experience,

LOL! 25+ years is certainly not "very little".

Glad you were honest about yourself. Add bb and Doug Kanter to the list
also. ;-)

See you around in 3 months Chuck.



BTW: I will take your challenge, provided you, harry krause, basskisser,
bb, jps and doug kanter do the same. ;-)
