Same here, but I try to laugh it off to myself as the ones with the most

Boy, that sure sounds like you are doing the same thing!

I've decided a very long time ago that I will not say anything about
another person that I would not say to them face-to-face. I admit a few
times in the past I entered a few silly debates, but no more. I do not
get drawn into the name-calling here that becomes the norm on more than
one occasion.

For the pure boating related discussions, there's a wealth of valuable
information and knowledgeable people. Pretty much any topic, someone has
an answer or can direct them to a place to look for it. For the rest,
nothing more really needs to be said.

Then why did you feel a compulsion to say something about it?

I was referring to the non-boating related discussions.
