thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

I can think of three "harms."

1) Newbies take one look at this (and run away)... they don't know
this has been going on for decades..... and that there really isn't as
much hate flowing as is immediately apparent.... that some of the
"combatants" actually know (and fish and boat with) each other outside
of this little virtual section of life.

2) Even with cabin fever closing in, there must be *something* more
imbued with good karma that all of this sniping.

3) It encourages boatless trolls who have no interest in ever
contributing anything positive or of boating content. Unlike the rest
of you, even with the coming warm weather, they aren't going to become
any more worth reading or responding to than they are, now.
