You, jps, and don acting like asses, each and every post is more logical.... He says while acting like an ass.... Snotty isn't acting...it comes natural. |

There's an awful lot of snarkiness, insulting, threats and splitting of hairs to wade through to find an interesting post or two, not that my standards are that high. But what is the point of reading through a hundred or more posts to find a good boating discussion? We're here to help. Give us your phone number and we'll call you when someone starts an interesting racing shell or ice-boat thread. |

Seriously, my humble opinion is that the seemingly endless snarkiness and insulting turns off new posters and chills conversation. It sure makes it difficult to read a thread, at least for me, because when I come across examples of what I've mentioned, I tend to stop reading the thread. This morning, one poster here whose ID I won't mention, apparently wished another poster were either dead or sick. Well, that surely entices decent newbies to hang around, doesn't it? He's not the only example of being nasty to others, either. My interests in boating go beyond ice boats. Mainly I am interested in wind or self powered boats, but I like all sorts of boats and I have other interests too. Treating other people like **** though isn't among them. |

But what is the point of reading through a hundred or more posts to find a good boating discussion? I use my filters when I get into to a new group... after three or four bad, insulting, or just plain trollish posts I quickly learn who to watch and who not to.. Admittedly there are a few here who probably have me binned, so be it but I have made an effort since our main instigator left us a couple weeks back... He was don's best bud and don seems to be trying to keep the flames going for him.. Stick around, adjust your filters, there are still some pretty cool folks here. You really are delusional... no surprise considering your Peter Pan/Tinker Bell lifestyle. You are the one who continues to aid and abett the single worst lunatic in this and other newsgroups...that is just a tad worse than you. **** YOU,ASSHOLE....you're just a few hours away from a fatal beating. Now, get your nose back up Harrys ass where it belongs |

Well, you've got rec.boats...building, cruising, electronics, kayak, marketplace, paddle, paddle touring, paddle whitewater, racing, racing power, and sailing. One or more of those may be of more interest. But, it doesn't hurt to do as one poster suggested, use a filter here and there. There used to be a lot of sailing discussed on 'cruising'. Don't know if it still is or not. Could be it's become a cess pool like this place. A few folks just won't quit. |

I've been posting about things that matter to me and you've been jerking off while your buddies do whatever they can to insult Harry and whomever you can associate with those on the left. Sorry little dweeb you are. You guys could be left all to yourselves and no one would want to post here. rec.boats.rightwingcirclejerk |

Don't know if it still is or not. Could be it's become a cess pool like this place. A few folks just ?won't quit. Rather than having to filter out at least half the baker's dozen of posters here, wouldn't it be better to try to get the insulters to behave or to just ignore them all of them entirely? I'm already not reading a couple of posters here because, well, frankly, they're just obnoxious and looking for a fight or dropping an insult with just about everything they post here. If I filter out more posters, there won't be many left here to read. :) The pièce de résistance for me came today when one poster wished another poster was sick or dead and another poster seemed to threaten yet another poster with murder. The question that should be asked is why are such posters tolerated? |
