The sensless bickering is getting a bit thick. So, do you think you
might be able to knock it off for a bit and turn this place back into
a boating forum instead of a back-biting play house?
please?
Tim, as long as John keeps posting his off topic crap this place will
remain what it is. Sad but true, brother!

Well, it goes beyond that too, pal. The political stuff gets really
bad, too. This used to be a great boating board. It would be great to
see it get back to that point.

Yeah, John does his share, I know. and He's the only one who can
control that. But there have been other boating and wild life threads
that have immediatly turned into a political fray for no call for
reason at all.


Look at what happened to the manatee threads. And those arn't the only
ones.


Too many trolls and not enough trolling motors!

?; ^ )

You hit the nail on the head, Tim. If a thread is boating - or any
non-political topic - we should keep the politics out of it.
The political threads can be engaged in or ignored as one sees fit.
Don't know if that can happen, but it's a good goal.

Jim - No tag line here.

Just don't answer or acknowledge spoofs or trolls. It's easy...

It's not easy to recognize a spoofer when using Google as your newsreader. It's
not possible to 'Show Headers'.

Google doesn't have a killfile. If you use google you are stuck. Many
block google posts because it is the origin of most spam. If any thing
ruined Usenet it was Google.
