Most of what you fellows do, 24-7, is either fling juvenile insults,
discuss subjects that have nothing to do with any aspect or boating, or
act like idiots.

Because of you and your dwarfs, I simply gave up on this place as a
forum for boating discussions, and I freely admit I show up mainly to
watch the aberrant behavior of you and your buddies.

If all you did was "watch", *a good chunk of the problem would go away.
You don't "watch". *You (and others) pounce upon certain individuals
regardless of the subject of their posts or to whom they are addressed.

The only way to restore rec.boats to something other than a personal
insult free-for-all *would be for everybody to retire the past, forget
about old issues and conflicts, and *post as if all were meeting for the
first time. Problem is, it would require 100% participation and that just
isn't going to happen.

Eisboch

tell you what, Richard, as an old Westvillian to an aging Amityite, you
work assiduously on getting the seven dwarfs to behave and I'll work on
the rest.

how's that?

No thanks. *It would be like trying to solve a Catch-22.

*I* can't fix it. * **You* can't fix it. * But if all the participants were
seriously motivated and committed to reviving rec.boats to it's former
glory, it can be done by simply resisting the urge to post idiotic
claims/counterclaims.

It can't be "my" rules .... "your" rules or anybody else's "rules".

Eisboch

Well, then, I go back to my original post on this to you...that as a
boating newsgroup, this place is lost, and that I show up mainly to
watch the aberrant behavior of the seven dwarfs and (as you mentioned)
to crap on one of their heads from time to time.

None of the seven, so far as I can tell, has the slightest interest in
boating related subjects or, if they do, they seem incapable of making
any but the most empty headed of posts (e.g., I took my kid wakeboarding
yesterday, or, I took my 93 grandchildren on a cruise).

So...

Harry, your statement, "I show up mainly to watch aberrant behavior...", is
belied by the sheer quantity of attack posts you make here.

I am willing to make you a deal. I will make no posts on Chuck's Island if
you make no more than one more post here, in answer to this one.

Look what you'd have to gain!

Carry on.

The problem with The God of Posts is that he intentionally distorts
and misapplies what he is told.

Which means that no matter what you actually say, it's automatically
wrong.

Your dealing with somebody who is in a permanent state of PMS.

Attack the messenger rather than address the message being deliverd.

You just cannot stand being proved wrong...........a trend you
continue to prove.

Thanks! My concern is what looks like a low transom and water coming
in over it, especially when backing down. If I do not opt for the
splashboard will I have this problem?

Thanks
Jim

The splashboard can be added in the aftermarket if you choose.
I run the 21SE without a splashboard.

BTW: The name calling and low blows seem to be coming from folks here
claiming they want to improve the tone and quality of this NG.

Eh?
