Yep, we got back today from a week long Island vacation of boating,
swimming, eating and enjoying the company of our family and friends.
Folks
came and went. Fire pit, music, good company, no TV, tents for the boys,
views of the Lake on the front porch, spectacular sunrises and sunsets on
the water, good music, tubing, wakeboarding, swimming, tanning, golf
carts
for getting around, no shoes, no watches or clocks, slow pace, Island
life.
We had a fantastic time!!!!

But after coming home and relaxing I decided to crank up my 'puter and
checked this board. What I saw was 800+ new posts, at least 50% of
which
were OT, with some folks posting as early as 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning
(can
you say Harry Krause?) to spew political hatred on a boating NG.

OMG!

I also saw what I failed to see before as I was blinded by the fact that
I
was a participant in these OT posts.

To paraphrase these OT posts I read:

=================================================

"Is so.......is not............is so...............is not..........is
so..............is not................."

"Oh yea, I read it on the internet so it must be true."

"You are nothing but a scumpond son of a worm eating scumbag
douchebag........................."

"Go screw yourself"

"All (insert your political belief) are scumpond son of a worm eating
scumbag douchebag......................."

"(insert your name) is an asshole"

"GWB is the greatest."

"GWB is a lying scumbag."

================================================== =====

Amazing. You folks need to chill.

Mea Culpa. Hopefully I now see the light.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!!!! If you want to see
"hatred" spewed, take a look at your buddy Fritz's crap. I have never,
ever seen him post anything here about a boat, and have never seen him
post anything here without at least one childish insult, or name
calling.


I posted a reply to Krause's post that included me in it. He somehow
needed to drag me into a thread (trailer park) that had nothing to do with
me and one which I did not even post in............I have been on vacation
for a week.

I responded with facts. Pure facts. Go back to the thread and re-read my
post.

No name calling or childish insults......just facts Curtis.

Have a nice day.
