I've been away for a week, and return to find another thread dedicated to
net-cops. There was less bickering when the discussion was about
politics...and the political thread contributors at least had the courtesy
of putting "OT" in front of the thread.


The thread had nothing to do with netcopping.

Unfortunately I think NYOB is correct.

In the past battle lines were drawn along political lines.
Conservatives would all rally together, and liberals would all rally
together. Ever since Chuck threw out his challenge to steer clear of
inflammatory and political threads all the old alliances have changed.
Those who hated each other in the past, have suddenly become best buds
and now love each other, and in some cases long time best friends view
themselves as arch enemies. The new alliances seem to be drawn along
the lines of those who prefer the political and inflammatory threads of
the past and the those who think the OT political threads are
detrimental to the group (The NetCops).

I really don't think I fall in either group, because i believe the group
is totally dysfunctional and we will fight over any topic ; )

I am sure someone could do a doctoral thesis on the group dynamics of
rec.boats.
