No, we are in compete agreement about a few things. I too agree that no
political statements in rec.boats have any impact on the real world. I
agree that rec.boats have become a forum that is used to provoke emotion
with people you disagree.
While rec.boats might have been a good venue for discussing recreational
boats, those days are long gone. At one time the NG had experts who
contributed to the decision concerning using boats recreationally. Today,
this NG is about pinpricking people you disagree with and watching them go
ballistic.
The only thing I disagree with, is the intensity at which you attack those
who disagree with you. They either agree with you or they are right wing
trash/pig. To be honest with you, the only one I see going ballistic in the
forum is you, jps and Jim Dandy. While the right wing are just as guilty of
off topic discussion, they are much more effective at getting you to go
ballistic then you are.

Say what you will about the right wing trash or left wing socialist, no

Harry.
Unlike you, Bill, I have no delusions about political statements in
rec.boats having any impact on the real world. I just refuse to engage
right-wing trash in debate on issues. There's no reason to do so...if
you mud wrestle with a right-wing pig, you're going to get covered in
garbage and excrement, because that is their only product. It's more fun
to pinprick the little suckers and watch them go ballastic.
