I have now been banned from the other group after one post, asking why
a thread trashing us had been allowed to go on for days while the
thread origionator was also over here calling us names. Remember, this
is the same monitor that asked me not to mention "other groups" (not
even by name) here in our forum.. I have to admit, I am pretty ****ed
off and especially dissappointed in all those folks I thought were
friends who seem to have thrown me under the bus as it were. I have to
question the character of folks who have stood back and not said
anything when they can not be missing the hyprocracy, kind of like
another pet peeve of mine

When you are an adult and a guest in someone else's house and there are
rules posted, it pays to pay attention to them.

In my house or on my boats, no smoking is allowed, excessive drinking is
not allowed, use of illegal drugs is not allowed, and in general, really
obnoxious behavior is not allowed. If you cannot live by the simple
rules of the household, you should either not visit or you should expect
to be escorted to the door or the dock.

The proprietor of "the other group" has simple rules posted, and he has
repeated them in several forums. You apparently did not believe they
applied to you.

Unfortunately, "rec.boats" has no rules.
It is unfortunate to a certain degree. *You would have been banned a
long time ago.

If it's any consolation, JimH is sending me personal messages (in Chuck's
Place) telling me what a bad boy I am.

Post them here. *The three amigos/douche bags an not immune to
responsibility for their lame actions.- Hide quoted text -

Naw, we should just let it die now that my observations and opinions
have been pretty much confirmed.. Anyway, back to the nice
wreckedboats we were enjoying before I read that thread....

You are, of course, correct. All of this is not helping either group
(especially this one), and I'm not very innocent!

I logged into the group tonight to see how it was all handled there.
My post was of course gone, but the namecalling and such that
followed, directed at us/me continues still.. My friends would have
never stood for that, I am learning quite a lot here about them. All
in all I guess it has been good in a way.. Although I did loose a
decent sailboat over it all...;(

How did you lose a sailboat?

BTW, I received five messages from JimH, all telling me I was a sick
individual because I said something negative about the way Chuck handled
people like Harry and the problems between the two groups.

I'm feeling much better now, thank you!

You've got to realize that of the 1073 posts that have been made in Chuck's
Group, well over half have been made by three people, Chuck, JimH and
Harry. Chuck, I believe, is proud of the number of posts in his board, and
he's commented about that in the past.

A great amount of 'snarkiness' is allowed to exist in Chuck's Place, but
perhaps a look at the stats above will help explain it. One person over
there has coined the term 'Seagulls', in reference to the way JimH and
Harry squawk every time someone makes a post. Their squawks are a little
subtle, but 'snarky' would be a better description.

As to the 'death' of rec.boats - Chuck's Place has had 1073 posts since its
inception. This place has had over 2100 posts in the past month. So no,
it's not dead or dying, regardless of how much two individuals would like
to make it so.
