Boats are in your life 24x7. Most of us have more varied interests.

Then wouldn't it be appropriate to participate in a variety of
newsgroups, rather than impose your personal interests on a group
gathered for another, specific purpose? Anybody ever experiment with
posting boating related items to the photography newsgroup? How did
that go? How about the TCM discussion group- are boating items well
received over there?
Maybe a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of various
docklines would be
useful in either the Bush.is.a.blithering.idiot group or the
Liberals.and.democrats.should.all.be.taken.out.and .lynched forum.

I find your 2,000 word advertisements here far more objectionable than a
discussion about war movies on Veterans Day.

What does a "war movie" have to do with Veterans' Day? I've never been
in a war, (and as far as I know neither have you), but I'd be willing
to bet a pretty pile that the actual experience is a lot different than
the stuff you see on a movie screen. The more appropriate question;
what does a war movie have to do with recreational boating?


The OT threads you object to usually turn south only after you and your
deputies ride to enforce *your* laws.

Nobody can enforce anything, Jim. You are free to post your political
opinions here, just as I am free to comment on whether or not I think
they are appropriate for a boating newsgroup.
You irritate me with your political cut 'n pastes and personal attack
threads trolled through a boating newsgroup, and I irritate you by
making boating related posts to the same forum. Looks like one of us
has a screwed up agenda. Somehow, I suspect that referring to the title
of the NG might provide some insight regarding who might be confused
here- but again that would only be my opinion and you're free to
disagree and post whatever you want.


I only post a personal attack after being attacked. I also do not get into
the gutter with foul language as several members here do. Yesterday's foul
mouthed personal attack on me by JohnH is an example.

I also do not start many political threads. In fact I doubt you will find
more than 3 or so over the past few months. You, on the other hand,
participate in the political stuff with your comments and 2,000 word
editorials, then get back on your pony telling others not do what you just
did.

I would not have a problem with your sheriffing if you at least followed
your own rules Chuck. Giddyup!
