This post is to the Moderator (if we still have one).

I find Larry's antisemitic posts offensive; at least in the confines
of this group Not for their antisemitism but because they are off-
topic.

While I strongly disagree with his diatribes, I do "defend to the
death" his right to to free speech . . . just not on this forum.

I hope most will agree with me that that this group is supposed to be
about sailing-related concerns. I'm fairly certain Larry can find many
other groups online that will wholeheartedly agree with what he is
spouting. The are also many other groups that will totally disagree
and that will even better serve his misplaced opinions . . . getting a
rise in their bile as a reaction.

As for me, I believe that this non-sailing topic has run its
unfortunate course and I hope that in the future it will be curtailed
(forceably if necessary) so that we all can get back to the topic for
which we were originally attracted to this group.

Just my opinion. Hope someone agrees and ends this.

Gregg, there's no moderator. It's up to the individual not to respond...
guilty as charged though, and I'll try and refrain.

I agree with your statements however.

Exactly. Some people seem to run around all day with nothing to do but
seek
out things to be offended by.


I'm offended by people who end a sentence with a preposition.

Here, Dave, allow me to show you how an educated person writes the sentence
you butchered.

"Some people seem to run around all day with nothing to do but seek
out things about which to be offended."

I hope this helps.

didn't someone post a while back that Wilbur is a Jew? If that is
true, that raises him up a notch in my book. If it's not true, well,
I understand.

Not likely. He's been a racist for the yrs he's been on Usenet.

Don't look now, but that is and of itself is a racist remark.

I realize old Wilson was being facetious but there is a far better way to
express it: "I will not abide that proposition."

I hope this helps.

Yes. It demonstrates in spades that Winston [Wilson???] had, and I have,
far
better ears than you for the language.

Not to mention at least some sense of humor.


Oops! I must have been subconsciously been thinking of his Auntie.

Ofttimes a sense of humor goes a long way towards masking a lack of
knowledge.

Au contraire, a sense of humor most always reveals an insight into
knowledge.
