What is harsh but true is what Dick has said about harry lately. Got
him
pinned for exactly the loser he is...

---------------------------------------

It's not my goal to pin anybody. That makes me as bad as those I
complain about and I plead guilty occasionally. Sometimes I get
tired of people who make statements that I know to be false that are
intended to disparage people they don't even know.

Many of us have posted things here in the heat of debate exchanges
that we later probably regret. But not Harry. Virtually everything
he posts, he means and it's done for a purpose. He seems to get a
perverse delight in such. I usually try to maintain a civil attitude
for the most part but lately he's been ****ing me off.

Examples:

Somebody here (forget who) recently made a comment about John
suggesting that he may be a recovering alcoholic. Didn't say he
*was*. Just suggested that maybe he was. It was uncalled for and
obviously the poster has absolutely no idea if it is true or not.

Harry liked that of course, picked up on it and within the hour was
commenting on John's alcoholism, as if it was a proven fact.
That's the crap that gets me ****ed off sometimes. Cute but
transparent.

Then there's his endless social commentary and comments on the status
of minorities, the poor and the disenfranchised. If others don't see
it his way, they are obviously either racist or "republi-trash".
Yet, in another thread about building permits, etc., Harry went out
of his way to make sure we all are aware that he lives in a very
desirable area with fine restaurants, stringent building codes and
future development statutes that are intended to restrict those who
may wish to build and move in. I think Harry would serve humanity
better if he moved to Detroit and became a community organizer rather
that call people names on a goofy newsgroup.

Harry blames everyone else for the demise of rec.boats as a useful
newsgroup, yet he is by far the biggest contributor to it's decline.
Just ask him. It has been his goal and he delights in yanking your
chain.
