Really? If so, it blew right past me. Maybe I should ask you to come
over and help moderate..........naw, on second thought probably
not. :-)


Most of the attempts to "ruin the site" in the last few days have been
some opinionated but very civil discussions about the advantages and
disadvantages of bow thrusters on small boats, transom savers on
trailers, and the relative merits of various boating hats. There is
some historic tension between a few posters, but it almost never
breaks out into the sort of content that fans of other venues seem to
promote and enjoy. What's more, the natural momentum of the site is
finally kicking in and even though I have been too busy this week to
post as often as I would like, other members are posting more freely,
spontaneously, and informatively than folks who spend no time there
might imagine possible.


No magic, just a site where "the golden rule" is SOP and there is a
small amount of organization and structure. While that "ruins" it for
some, others seem to be enjoying it and the modest amount of structure
has allowed folks who don't get along elsewhere (or haven't in the
past) to converse in a civil fashion.


FYI, wrecked boats is seldom mentioned on the other site. In my
opinion, it would be entirely OK if the other site were never
mentioned here. I'd respectfully suggest that you folks have enough
problems of your own to iron out on this board without trying to
comment on problems you think exist elsewhere.


Have a wonderful day, one and all.


That post was totally unnecessary and counterproductive. If your desire is
simply to inflame, Harry, JimH, and Don are doing just fine, thank you.


I notice you make no comments about their continuous name-calling, fight
provoking, and otherwise immature behavior over here, Chuck.


Shame on you.

When you look behind his holier than thou attitude, Chuck is really a decent
guy, whose unselfish desire to enrich us poor unwashed heathens with his
insight, is commendable.
I also want to thank Chuck for providing a safe haven where Harry can
retreat and practice his decorum. Perhaps Harry will one day learn to be
civil enough to return to usenet and post like an adult, in an unmoderated
newsgroup.- Hide quoted text -
