Didn't we just have 8 years of democrats calling Bush a nazi and
worse? I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.
We are constantly ratcheting down the acceptable level of dialog.

I have noticed it is funny how people's attitude changes when it is
their guy getting attacked.
I really think this started in the 60s but it continues to get worse.

Yes, Gene and I have been saying the same thing. I didn't like it
(still don't) when Harry is completely one sided on everything, and I
don't like it now that the conservatives of the group are doing the
same exact thing with Obama.

If you see behavior you do not like, speak up. But, when you only speak
up when it is being performed by those whose views you are in opposition
with you are viewed as a hypocrite.

You certainly aren't describing me. I speak up to Harry and his minion
all of the time.

I am not talking about Harry nor his minions.

Strong possibility that it's 1 and 2.

Bayliners do suck however. :-)

somewhere between pouring water on a duck's back and fanning the

Very true, that's why I got on the real newsreader bandwagon and with a
few plonks, life is good!

I always assumed that the *other* side would be smart enough to catch
on and "nip it in the bud;" sort of a one hand clapping scenario.

What else could it be?

Perhaps both, my good man!

You have conversations with Loogy. I don't. I avoid stepping "in it"
with most of the the non-boating or "rarely boats" slime in this
newsgroup, yet most of them are obsessed with me, even though I ignore
them.

This isn't a "boating" newsgroup anymore. Other than you and a couple of
others, with whom it is worthwhile to discuss boats? As I have stated
several times, I have no interest in the children or grandchildren of
people I don't know, or golf, or recipes for high cholesterol redneck
food, or homebrew beer, or travel trailers, or "back when we were young
and losing the war in Vietnam, et cetera.

Don't contradict Gene, he doesn't cotton to it.

I have to cut gene some slack, because, as you know, the "rules" require
each of us to maintain discussions with at least one fleeg* in this
newsgroup. Mine is JustHateaFreak...gene's must be loogy.





* fleeg a person with a flat-lined EEG.
