This was a really cool place to hage out and discuss fisshing,
boating, new boat products, mechanical tips, marine electronics,
lakes, rivers and boating experiences in general.

There was no "dope army" no "pink army", no "neo-cons" no "libs", no
Bush, No Obama. No poking, gouging, backstabbing or back biting and
one-up-manship.

Seems like people who really wanted to discuss such matters in
rec.boats were plentiful and all was good with no disdain, calousness,
resentments, or rudeness.

This place used to be a boating group with no political hacking.

What happened?

It seem in the last five eyars or so, this board hs gone from a true
boating/marine *community to a political bilge sump.

What happened?

Like Lennon said "Maybe I'm a dreamer" but it would be nice if folks
would calm down and return the forum to it's origional intent, which
was evidently to discuss boating issues without all the political
harrassment.

Can it be done?

I doubt it, that is unless others want it to.

So... I am not set up with filters, but I do know how to ignore. If
one can't do that then they need to use filters to block out people
that make posts simply to make others feel uneasy or cause unrest.

Can it be done? Sure!

But not if everyone likes it the way it is. And if that's got to be
then perhaps some of us should look for other *forums where boaters
can get along..

What do you all say? *Can we clean up the play ground?

Quite frankly, the Dems are on the run now that their activities have
been exposed and now they whine about it while they posted anti-Bush
crap for years. *What goes around.........

What about it Harry, w3fh, jps, etc, if you want a truce reply.
Otherwise, there is enough info right now to destroy the Democratic
party and I am happy to discuss it. *I'd prefer a truce.- Hide quoted text -

There were times when I was younger, that my dad told me, that "if
your friends drink poison do you feel you need to also ?

What about Harry, w3fh, jps, etc?

I can't control others actions but I can control my own.

Harry has made it clear he will not stop (See his posts after I
suggested we try again). I will stop unless he gets out of control.
Clearly, HK has no control of himself and no desire to get along.
