One of the challenges this group has faced, for many years, is that it
tends to drive away participants who are actual experts in marine related
fields. Most of the rec.boats crew who own boats own outboard or sterndrive
trailer boats......

And just what is wrong with the contributions from experienced boaters
who own outboard/sterndrive trailerable boats, Chucky? Do you feel their
opinions are not worthy? Are their views less valid than yours? Truth be
known, many of these boaters you view as inferior actually have much
greater and varied boating experiences than yourself. They have traveled
boating worlds you never will.

So, Commodore Chucky, perhaps it's time you wake up and realize you are
more of a hypocritical problem than a wise solution for this NG. Can you
stop the denigration of fellow boaters? Having met you and experienced
your personal and business ethics, I rather doubt it. And while we're on
this subject, can you imagine Peggy or Bill Granis labeling fellow
contributors as "non-boaters" and engaging them in long political
banter? Can you visualize the Commodore doing so?

Back to snipping posts to completely distort their meanings, and then
picking a fight based on the distortion? You never cease to amaze me,
Dave. You lie so blatantly (by distorting what others have said) and so
openly that you must have no personal regard for truth at all. (Or you
feel that you're surrounded by such idiots that nobody is likely to
notice). I keep hoping for the recovery of your
mental/physical/emotional health. I don't know that you were ever truly
a "nice guy", but you might ask yourself why so many different people
have commented on the new, not-at-all- improved- but- defintiely-
changed "Skipper" since your return. Hint: It isn't a conspiracy,
really, it isn't.

Why does it bother you when Skipper does it, but causes no reaction
when Harry does the same thing?

I try, (not always with 100% success) to stay out of other peoples'
fights. Harry has never doctored one of my posts or cut off a
significant portion in order to claim I said something that was never
said. If Harry did that to me, I would protest just as I have done when
Slipper the snipper pulls this trick. What people do to one another in
this group that isn't directed at or doesn't concern me is none of my
business.

I see.

It does seem, however, that you have made many posts regarding the
behavior of individuals in the group even though the behavior was not
directed towards you.
