A last parting shot across the bow . . .
If you are stimulated by new ideas and if you can think for yourself
rather than simply accept what rec.boats.cruising dishes out, I think you will find this post of interest. One of the first facts we should face is that I find none of rec.boats.cruising's lame posts to be mine. For example, I would have substituted "mentally deficient" for "dendrochronological" and "muddleheaded" for "roentgenographically." What rec.boats.cruising is incapable of seeing is that this makes me fearful that I might someday find myself in the crosshairs of its tawdry jabs. (To be honest, though, it wouldn't be the first time.) I can reword my point as follows. In order to maintain harmony with my conscience I must fight the good fight. Although this has been overlooked or ignored by the established Usenet community, if rec.boats.cruising can one day enshrine irrational fears and fancies as truth, then the long descent into night is sure to follow. Rec.boats.cruising's posts will have consequences -- very serious consequences. And we ought to begin doing something about that. At the risk of shocking you further, I shall point out that I, not being one of the many execrable alarmists of this world, don't want to build castles in the air. I don't want to plan things that I can't yet implement. But I do want to speak out against behavior and speech that is intended to undermine serious discussion and cruising topic analyses and replace them with a diverting soap opera of polyloquent, covinous idiocy because doing so clearly demonstrates how it commonly raises ineffective people to honored positions. It then ensures that these people stay in those positions because that makes it easy for it to muster enough force to throw away our freedom, our honor, and our future. It has been brought to my attention that rec.boats.cruising advertises its hypocritical morality solely to shift attention away from its many vices. While this is certainly true, contrary to my personal preferences, I'm thinking about what's best for all of us. My conclusion is that what's best for all of us is for me to tell you how it is vs. how it should be. Don't let yourself be persuaded by self-satisfied, merciless nudniks who secretly want to silence critical debate and squelch creative brainstorming. The doom-and-gloom, it's-too-late, censorship, killfile, netnanny crowd always plays right into rec.boats.cruising's hands. But you knew that already. So let me add that rec.boats.cruising frequently avers its support of democracy and its love of freedom of speech but often acts the complete opposite. But one need only look at what rec.boats.cruising is doing -- as opposed to what it is saying -- to understand its true aims. If you've ever watched television or read a book, odds are that you already know that rec.boats.cruising is absolutely useless. Because we continue to share a common, albeit abused, atmospheric envelope, it's really not bloody-mindedness that compels me to throw down the gauntlet and challenge rec.boats.cruising's janissaries to find the common ground that enables others to halt the adulation heaped upon the most sophomoric pests you'll ever see. Peggie Hall comes to mind when discussing this. It's my sense of responsibility to you, the reader. I'm not a superficial person. I'd like nothing more than to extend my hand in friendship to rec.boats.cruising's subscribers and convey my hope that in the days to come we can work together to further knowledge like a rising star beyond the utmost bound of human thought. Unfortunately, knowing your propensities, I realize you'd rather redefine unbridled self-indulgence as a virtue, as the ultimate test of personal censorship, because that's what rec.boats.cruising wants. For all of the foregoing reasons, I can confidently claim that rec.boats.cruising's faculty for deception is lame at best, it really must be considered different in kind as well as in degree. Hard as some of you try it is evident your knowledge of boats is severely lacking Either rec.boats.cruising has no real conception of the what cruising is all about, or it is merely intent on winning some debating pin by trying to pierce a hole in my logic with "fiction" that's taken out of context. Rec.boats.cruising thinks it has answers to everything. I wish I could suggest some incontrovertible chain of apodictic reasoning that would overcome this misconception, but the best I can do is the following: I don't believe that it is always being misrepresented and/or persecuted. So when rec.boats.cruising says that it's trolling when it is just a different opinion it defines the stunted ability to understand different views should be embraced to further understanding rather than be squelched because it makes somebody uncomfortable knowing what they hold as fact may, indeed be fiction, I see how little it understands my position. Rec.boats.cruising uses the word "mechanicocorpuscular" without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. Newsgroups that are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated. While this post hasn't provided anything in the way of a concrete plan of action, it may help us focus our thinking a little better so we can work out a plan. For now, we must carve solutions that are neither fatuous nor sick. The very first goal on the agenda must be a sincere desire to embrace open-mindedness and truth. Step number one is to admit pretending isn't reality. So stop pretending you cruise and admit you only talk about it. Wilbur Hubbard |

A last parting shot across the bow . . .
Wilbur Hubbard wrote nothing of interest but continues to hang on
without meeting his commitments to leave by saying: Blah, blah blah, yada yada. Uh... duh, nobody lissuns to me. I studied for a urine test, but I still flunked when I missed the cup. It was because there wasn't anybody on rec.boats.cruising that told me which side of the cup was up. Its all their fault. My beer is getting warm so I've gotta go. I gotta try to figure out what channel they're showing the NASCAR race. So goodbye. I'm a shamed ****** (or was it wankee). Wilbur Hubbard There, there, not Wilbur. Don't go away mad, just stop making excuses for hanging around. Don't go away mad, just.... |
