I have recently spoken up for JimH after Harry blasted him, and have
done so for you in the past as well.


As it apparently isn't noted or appreciated, I won't repeat that
mistake again.



Why? Are you now going to condone his behavior here?

*************

Of course not.

It probably escaped your notice, but I address and respond to Harry
Krause less than almost any active poster in the group.
Of course that may be due to the fact that most posts to and from Harry
involve name flaming and naming- and almost nothing more. (Name calling
is a crutch for folks unable to be insult more creatively, just as
personal attack is the crutch of people hopelessly outgunned in
debate).

There are tpical Krause threads with 45 posts; Harry has 22 of them,
and about three guys (sometimes including you) have six or seven
apiece. Most will be scathing personal remarks, with the Krause Klub
getting back about as good as they dish out. There are even a bunch of
folks here that never comment about boats, at all, but never fail to
wade into a good old fashioned Krause fight. Nobody even knows or cares
who started it, way back when. (Easily could have been Harry, he has
that sort of tendency).

Condone is behavior? I think not, and excessive piling on is a sport
enjoyed by a very specific portion of this group. I don't side with
Harry, the vast majority of the time. Harry is a big boy, he causes his
own trouble, and he can look out for himself.

As I said, lack of comment more often indicates lack of interest than
agreement.
