Being called a scum sucking pig f*cker in one thread may affect one's responses in

If you avoid inflammatory commentary the chances of drawing that kind
of response are very slim.

And there's always the kill file. If someone offends you, make them
go away. If they offend everyone they'll soon be talking to their own
computer.


I think one would be hard pressed to find any political thread that's ever been in
this newsgroup that wasn't loaded with inflammatory comments from both sides. It's
the nature of the beast.

JohnH,
Sometimes you just need to stop responding from anyone whose stated
purpose of participating in rec.boats is to "make it lively", who has a
long history of inflammatory comments, whose finds boating discussion
boring. As Skipper mentioned they might clean up their act short term,
but very quickly revert back to political trolling, name calling and
trolling for any possible fight. After all, as some people believe a NG
of boaters discussing boating and other issues in a friendly manner is
just boring.
